5.63 - The One at the zoo

Last week Naomi turned to me and said..."Let's go to the zoo..." So we went on Saturday. I haven't been to the zoo since I was a kid, and all I can remember is that there was a LOT of walking. But I was pretty excited. The weather was great, not too hot, and when the sun was beaming down, there was a nice breeze that came through. The highlight of the visit was the sting ray exhibit. An extra $3...but so worth it. We were able to pet and feed them. Not sure when I'll go back to the zoo again, but I'm sure that I won't wait as long as I did.



And for all you hockey fans...check out the BEST hit of the year. Too bad the refs blew the call and gave Kronwall a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for a clean hit.

4.75 - The One with the second national anthem

dunt da DUNT da dunt...

The familiar tune of the Hockey Night in Canada theme may have been played for the last time. The agency representing the composer of the theme says that CBC has declined to enter into a new licensing agreement for the song for next NHL season. Hum the first few notes of that song to any Canadian and they will no doubt be able to recognize it...it's considered Canada's second national anthem. Hope they keep playing it...

listen to it here

4.48 - The One with the cheese

What happens when your team is down 2-0 in a best of 7 and playing game 3 at home?
As a fan you cheer and make some noise...give the team an emotional boost.

What does the team do? Play their hearts out...leave everything on the ice...give 110%...blah blah blah...all that sports cliche stuff.

What does the PR and marketing department do? Dress up a guy in a Spartan costume ala 300...send him out to centre ice to make a rousing speech to fire up the fans...take a look...



I'm so glad I'm not an Ottawa Senators fan...that was just embarrassing...
