The Vancouver Canucks have made it to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in seventeen years. I am not very good at being Canadian as I keep falling asleep during the games. In my defense the last round of games against San Jose were all on the west coast so didn't start until bed time. What is the correct term for starting a hockey game? Kick Off? Nope. Tee Off? wrong again. Maybe it is Puck Off? Like I said I am not very Canadian in this regard and I hope there are no hockey trivia questions on the citizenship test. We have to wait one or two more games for either Boston or Tampa to make it through as our opponents.
The melt continues apace and our front yard now comprises of a mixture of ice, mud and dust. When we got home from the Legion tonight we were throwing the ball for Sage out front. She did a big jump to catch the ball and momentum took her into a backflip and she landed on her ass in a big puddle of mud. It was hilarious to watch and we admired her for keeping hold of the ball even as the wind was knocked out of her. Johnny's short legs, long hair and a penchant for digging are a recipe for disaster in the mud. Despite our best efforts to towel them off our house is getting a nice coating of doggy sand. I may relent and pay $20 for a $5 mop to clean the lino and laminate flooring in the hallway, maybe a large washing up bowl to act as a foot bath when they come in too.
