Karin went out for drinks with her work.pals this evening, so while I putter around with the place to myself I have a few evening highlights:

1 \ Mojo is playing the WHL game live, and it just happens to be Red Deer versus Vancouver. Admittedly, I’m torn. But ya’know, I have been in Vancouver for almost 2 years now. When do you switch sides in an equation like this: I mean, Tobi at the office is from Calgary (three years ago) and she is still a loyal Flames fan. And in the NHL, you can’t argue with the season that the Canucks have been having. I think, though, when it falls to the question of Rebels vs Giants I will still have to stick with Red Deer. And not just because most of my readers will be in that city as they read this…

2 \ Having visited the big spring clearance sale at Sportmart, I picked up new pair of blades. My old (C1996) Oxygens are just on the verge of death and, as Oxygen seems to no longer exist, finding such trivial replacement parts as buckles and a new brake (you do want me to have a brake don’t you?) might be more difficult and expensive than investing in a new pair. Ultimately, it’s my goal to at least try skating the 5 or so kilometers to the office once this summer (hopefully more often, but we’ll aim low now), but as of tonight I was just happy to do a few laps around the neighborhood in the dying daylight.

3 \ In anticipation of tomorrow’s events, I took some time to clean up my office space here at the ol’apartment. I can actually see my desk now.
