Curling

My lovely wife's curling team was short a player yesterday (short two actually) so I played a game as a spare. I had a lot of fun, and did better than I was expecting to. We won the game, which is their first win I believe (although I have a very respectable 1-0 record, myself).

This got us to talking about once-a-week curling, and the possibility of doing so with the Dutch Nasty and his lovely wife. Next year, Peanut will be old enough for it to be an option, and there is a curling rink within staggering distance of their house. The Dutch Nasty seems to be on board and I know that his lovely wife was very enthusiastic about the possibility the last time we talked about it (she used to do a lot of curling, once upon a time).

Magic Night

Magic night is tomorrow, and then Monday next week. Monday seems to fit my schedule better these days since my lovely wife is curling anyway, so it opens up Thursday as a day that we both have free. Which is good, because this week, we don't have any days free, and that sucks.

My booster box has indeed been forgotten about, the guys at Sentry Box have confirmed. It got sorted into the wrong pile, and so it's been waiting on the pickup desk rather than going to the mailing desk and being shipped out. They've apologized and it's going out today. I should have known this would happen; Murphy dictates that the purchase in which I praise them for their on-the-ball customer service will be the one order that goes wrong. Still, if things have to go wrong, this is a very benign way for them to do so.

Optimist Prime and /dev/null joined Serdic and myself for a trip to the FLGS today to pick up boosters for Saturday. /dev/null also picked up some BSG cards, and I'm eager to give that a try. Little Joey has also confirmed that he's in for tomorrow.

Kung Fu

So I was out for three weeks because I was sick, then after a handful of classes, I'm out for a week more because I hurt my wrist. I'm going back tonight and I'm pretty intent upon going regularly and getting seriously back into things.

I'm passing on weapons tonight, though, as I'm not sure my wrist is really up for that yet. Better to start at a reasonable pace.

A Very Brief Bit of Politics

The Ottawa Sun online held a poll about which of the Liberal leadership candidates people most wanted to lead that party. Most of them got below 10%, with something in the area of 65% saying 'none of the above'. That's pretty impressive. You know, there's 30 million people in this country, and even discounting children and people with criminal records, you'd think the Liberals could find someone vaguely appealing.

Not that I'm complaining.

Also, funny.
