Christmas Is Over!

Mark your calendars, kids. April 29th. Today was the day my last Christmas decoration came down. It's kinda sad.

Because My Hair Has To Look It's Shiniest

So, I bought myself some hair conditioner the other day. Not really on purpose, but the end result is the same. It seems Head and Shoulders (my shampoo of choice) has decided to start making conditioner too. They also decided to make the bottle look EXACTLY THE SAME as the shampoo (except that the conditioner is upside down). I didn't notice at the time and got a bit of surprise when I had a shower yestderday.

Of course, now I expect all of you to comment on how great my hair looks the next time I see you.

Record Tying Season Comes To An End

Another spring, another end to curling season.

This year the team with I play second on ended up with a fabulous 20-1 L-W record.

But I did get a snazzy self-centreing tape measure as a raffle prize.

My Greatest Fear

The Stanley Cup playoffs are upon us and something funny is going on. I'm not ready to suggest a full blown conspiracy, but I'm getting close.

The Montreal Canadiens have won a Stanley Cup in every decade. With there being only 2 years left, I thought for sure that this streak would be ending, thankfully. Before this season started, they were supposed to be fighting for 8th place at best. But it turns out that they finished 1st in the East. So, with time being of the essence, the Habs look to be a contender for the cup. Like I said, something funny is going on. Therefore, as much as I will be rooting against them, Montreal is my pick for the cup... because it's been predetermined. Huh, look at that... I did suggest a full blown conspiracy.

My first round predictions are as follows:
Montreal over Boston
Pittsburgh over Ottawa
Washington over Philadelphia
New York over New Jersey

Nashville over Detroit
San Jose over Calgary
Minnesota over Colorado
Anaheim over Dallas
