Canadian Pride, Caramel Reese and a Digital Camera

I keep talking to people who ask me what we're up to, y'know besides starting a new job, moving to another country and buying a home. Well if those things aren't enough for us to be up to I will tell you what else is going on in my life.

Lynnette is at work tonight, and as I wait to watch LOST @9PM on ABC I tuned into the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast of the Oilers/Sharks game 6. I almost came to tears with the pride I felt for my countrymen on this night. First of all I must tell you about what happened in game 5. Before the game, during the singing of the Canadian National Anthem the San Jose fans could be heard booing (for witch the Mayor of San Jose later appologized). I half expected to hear the Canadian fans return the favor (a la Yankees/Red Sox hatred kind of thing). To my utter surprise, instead of booing the people of Edmonton returned hate with love, almost drowning out the singer. Then when the Canadian Anthem was sung, they sang it with all their hearts. This is just another example of why I'm Proud to be Canadian. GO OILERS!!!

Also tonight I purchased the Reese Cups with Caramel. It was delicious. I recomend trying one. Very sweet though, I was only able to eat one. If you choose to try them I suggest following them with milk.

The other thing going on is we bought a digital camera. A Sony Cyber-Shot 6 MP. It's fantastic. The quality is amazing and it even shoots some pretty good video. It's taken me a while to join the digital revolution. I was waiting for the quality to go up and the price to go down. I think we waited long enough. I'm going to use the camera on my trip to Saint John to look at homes. Hopefully soon I will be able to post some pictures of a new home with the camera.

Anyways. That's what we're up to. Oh yeah and Edmonton won 2-0, bring on the Anaheim Might Sucks.
