On Friday our Jeep arrived in town, and that afternoon we headed out to Calgary to pick up Melissa from the airport. The ride was comfortable enough. It seems the parental units made a grande choice. Cannot wait until it's warm enough to ride without the top, and the doors.As Melissa was not arriving at the airport until Saturday morning, we stayed overnight at a Holiday Inn Express, which I must say, was very nicely decorated. Plus one for the interior designer. The next morning, we picked up Melissa. It's nice to have her back with us, but I do kind of feel bad for her having to sleep on the couch.
That may not be for very long though, as she has an interview with Lush on Wed in Banff. You see, the family stopped there on the way back, and Melissa and I applied for various jobs around the area. We handed out a lot of applications, and got a few bites. Turns out, I have a very good opportunity at United Colors of Benetton (hooray for knowing people who know people), and, as it happens, also have an interview for Wed. Cross fingers that I get it. It's a great store, with wonderful people.
Canada won Olympic Gold in Mens Ice Hockey today. It was an intense game, with Crosby scoring the winning goal at 7:10 in OT. Nerve-wracking and amazing.
Congrats to the team for doing such an amazing job.
...and whooping the American's arse.
We have now broken the record for most golds scored by a host country at one game. That's something special.
Closing Ceremonies in less than 10 minutes. Let's get this show on the road!
