This Just In... Ducks Win the Cup!

Either I just wound up in a crappy tv show and found the 'early edition' or I'm making my predictions for the Stanley Cup Finals. I was 1 for 2 in the semi finals, so that brings me to a sketchy 7 for 14 in the entire playoffs... This is the pivotal prediction, the one that will let me graduate or send me to summer school.

The Ducks are going to flap their way to victory and make it short and sweet. How do I know this? 2 reasons.
1. I know Kent Huskins' brother...
2. There have been a pair of ducks hanging out in my pool.

With those two things in mind, I cannot even imagine a world in which the Senators would win. I've never met a senator's brother and to the best of my knowledge, I have never seen a senator near my pool. So there you have it.

Fishin' with Grandad

Well, I'm in Cochrane for May Run Weekend... that's what they call it here, not May 2-4. Who knew? I took the bus up on Friday night, that'll become relevant in later posts. I left Kitchener by bus at 8:45pm and left toronto at 11:30pm. Faith picked me up at 10am in Matheson (1 hr drive from cochrane, although it was another 1 1/2 hours on bus) and we went to Timmins to get our extra bang for our optimum point buck. When we left Timmins, we were thoroughly exhausted and hoped to have a smoothe trek to Cochrane about 1 hr drive normally... alas, the Highway between cochrane and Timmins was closed due to ICE. It was freezing raining... ugh. We had to backtrack quite a bit... Poor suckers camping this weekend... We saw a moose on the highway on our journey back... stupid stupid animals. They just wander onto the highway then wander off into the wilderness...

Anyways, the weather was a bit nicer Monday and I went fishing with Grandad... We got in the canoe and landed about 6 or 7 pike, ranging about 3lbs - 5 lbs in weight, in about an hour and a half. I got pictures of one, this one turned out particularly cool with the focus etc. Anyways, later. Hope your may run was as runny as mine.

This is silas`first go at typing... not bad as far as I`m concerned.

Cat snot + eye =

A trip to the ER and a sick day... Two Sunday's ago, Faith was in bed and I was about to give Silas his bottle before bed. Yes, he's on the formula and he loves it! Anyways, Amerylis was getting off the couch and she sneezed and shook her head violently, launching a nasty goober through the air at my eye. Unfortunately, I had removed and misplaced my anti-cat snot glasses so I was defenseless. I flushed my eye out, cursing the disgusting old cat the whole while.

I called the after hours nurse and explained my situation, she said if it got worse to go to the ER. So I did. Thanks Pat for stumbling over here to mind the baby. It's 1:00am and I seem to have found my way after a quick stop at 7-eleven to the WR, not the ER I was expecting. We ended up leaving at around 2:45 because the swelling was going down on it's own. I went to my doctor Monday and got some drops. Voila, i'm better... at least I made employee of the month...

1 for 4... I suck

and apparently so do the teams I pick.

anyways

Detroit vs Anaheim
Go Kent! Anaheim in 4.

Ottawa vs. Buffalo
Neither... both teams stink. I guess I'll pick Buffalo in 7 games. They need to be worn out so Anaheim can sweep them for the cup.
