darkmuffin's hockey practice went well- this is the first week the kids have had their sticks on the ice, previous weeks having been getting their skating at an adequate level. Having impinged a nerve in my lower back earlier in the week was definitely noticeable while skating, more than it has been.

On the way back, we stopped to get ravenlaughing for the evening's tumultuous merriment (shades of Heywood Hale Broun, by way of Foster Hewitt) of the Ottawa Senators romp over the Fishsticks, the last period of the Red Wings outperforming the Coyotes everywhere put on the scoreboard, and a completely forgettable Calgary-Vancouver game. Now we're corrupting ravenlaughing with the incredibly funny curling comedy Men With Brooms.

Suddenly, Spirit of the West's "Far Too Canadian" comes to mind, even though none of us technically are. All that was missing was some Kraft Dinner and a bottle or two of Alexander Keith's.
