So, there I was, watching tv, playing video games or on the computer downstairs when I thought I heard the very faint doorbell for my side door. Now it was later in the evening, maybe 8pm or so,and since I don't get unannounced visitors... ever, I was baffled as to who it could have been. To skip ahead in the story a bit, it turns out it was someone from down the street who was out for a walk and they just wanted to know who treated my asphalt driveway. No big deal.
Now let's go back to right after I heard the doorbell ring a couple times and the subsequent knock (they were persistent). Never before had I hoped so much that there was a pair of pants ready to wear sitting in my laundry room.

Get In Game Shape
I handed in my curling registration form today. I thought it was a good time to start to get ready for the season by not setting back the curler's stereotype by 10 years.

Did I Ever Tell You About The Time...? Jeep Edition
This episode in my life has been sticking in my head lately. I'm not sure exactly why. Maybe it's because I've been thinking of buying a car lately. Whatever the reason...
Did I ever tell you about the time a couple week after I bought my Jeep back in 2005 when I got a flyer placed on my windshield when I was shopping at the grocery store. I was advertising the local KW Jeep Club and inviting me out to join them. I didn't really think much of it at the time, as I figured they just saw a Jeep and put the flyer on the windshield. But as time went on some things just stand out as strange about that whole incident to me.
I have never gotten the flyer on my Jeep since that day. Not in the same Zehrs parking lot, or any other parking lot I had been to in town. If the club was putting the flyers on local Jeeps to get some new members, doesn't probability suggest that I would have gotten more? And why only after I had just gotten the Jeep? Do they keep track of Jeeps that they put their flyers on? Do they coordinate that information between members, so another member doesn't flyer the same Jeep? Did the dealership tip off the club that a new Jeep owner was in town?
It has always seemed strange that I only ever got one flyer and only right after I bought it.

That Garage Aroma
Remember the time I complained that my garage smelled like an ashtray? Well as of this weekend, the smell is back, unfortunately. I'm going to have to get some air fresheners again.
On a totally unrelated note: I hosted a poker game in my garage on Sunday. Only Dan, Amanda and myself, so I'm pretty sure it didn't count.
