3.02 - The One with the roll

Congrats to Canada's World Junior Hockey team for winning their 3rd straight gold medal in as many years. Over the past 3 years they have gone undefeated and have dominated in every aspect of the tournament. The young players are really good...can't wait to see them in the NHL and what they can do for Canada in the 2010 Olympics.

On Saturday night, we ventured to the mansion for a little Monopoly...Millennium Edition. At one point in the game I was doing pretty good. I owed both of the utilities, a bunch of properties and had a bunch of cash. Then it all went downhill. I started trading, selling...and before i knew it I was getting dinged for landing on properties that I had but got rid of. Then came the dreaded row between Jail and Free Parking where Jon owned everything, set up houses on all the properties. Then around the corner Travis had setup shop so it was up to the dice roll to escape rent. Being my stupid luck, I rolled from one property to the next...paying a hefty price for my misfortunes. Funny thing...no one landed on my properties so I could gain back some cash...I have yet to win at a game of Monopoly
