Today's entry comes to you thanks to the joys that are Cut and Paste.
A fun weekend, with lots of wine and beer, and certainly too much enjoyment from charades. Must be getting old.
We met up with Robin & Jim, stayed the night, yet totally missed the Guelph University "College Royal" event. We drove past it at 10am, and it looked like it was a few hours from being constructed, so we drove on and went to see a film instead. Mr J Depp in "Secret Window" - a good film if all you want to see on screen is Deppy-boy.
The next few days are jam-packed. Today I have an interview, tomorrow we are staying in Guelph to watch the Storm playoff game (they're 2-0 up in the best-of-7-series so far) and sink a few bevvies with one of Deb's friends. Then on Wednesday we have to pick up some of our house stuff from the warehouse, which cleared customs without a hitch. Most of it has to be stored until we move into our new home, which will incur storage charges, but the 60 day insurance we paid for will run out before we move, so we have to pay more coverage. I must ask the removal company if they can deliver our goods on a Saturday ...
Leafs continue to win more than they lose, so they've definitely secured a playoff spot for the cup. This means at the very least, two cup games at the ACC. These matches will be sold out, guaranteed, and the ticket prices rise for playoff games.
I do have a ticket to go see Kraftwerk next month. I last saw them over 10 years ago, at Brixton Academy. Twice. On consecutive nights. I also managed to score a signed copy of The Mix :-) I won't be so lucky this time, as I have an assigned seat - I'm not down in the standing area. More on this as the gig approaches.
To pass the time, I think I may start a record of the petrol pump prices here on the outskirts of Toronto. If you live in North America and you're reading this from somewhere not very close to Toronto, can you let me know if the gas prices fluctuate a lot please? I want to know if this is a Toronto thing, an Ontario thing, a Canadian thing or a North American thing. If you don't know my email address, click the gfreeman.com link on the right, then click CONTACTS. I'd love to hear what things are like elsewhere, and you needn't write more than one line if you don't feel like dropping me an email. But please, let me know what it's like where you are!
I may be able to squeeze in another entry before the game tomorrow, otherwise the next one will be a match report :-)
