games of chance, burgers and a gift from the garbs to me

what a second half to my day today....
i made my way down to topanga cafe where the kids are cleaning and painting and generally do a big clean-up. andrew needed a couple pieces of steel cut for the kitchen and i was happy to make that happen for him. it's a mess in there right now. don;t go there right now. there are no burritos to be had.
i headed down to the island to see the kids. after getting the garbs to fix my jeans - thanks garbis, he and i headed up to meinhardt for a sandwich. and for some reason they gave me two sandwiches - good times...we met a little girl and her mother there who had just moved here from seattle. i asked her, the girl, if she was gonna get a job here. she said she already had one that she really liked - tormenting her brother. i said when i was a kid i had a sister who did that to me. we also ran into my pal from days gone by, nancy robertson - star of the widely popular Corner Gas on CTV. she's a riot, i really like her. she was buying flowers for her and her husband, funny man brent butt....i told the little girl that nancy was famous, she didn't seem to care.
after our feast at meinhardt, the garbs and i headed back to the island, we had a detour at pfaff where i saw don bull and had bus drivers try to intimidate me by driving extremely close to my car as i was parked in a bus zone...whatever...idiots...merry christmas - now blow me....oops...sorry issy....
corie was down there and then don bull showed-up....it was a full house...the pickle kids won 'best whimsicle window' on the island. for this win they were awarded five pounds of coffee, some gift certificate from some dump on the island, etc...good work. now hand over some coffee....
then it was time for hockey. and for the first time in 14 games, we were beaten 2-1. that's ok. the refs were dicks, we didn;t play great, we'll play them again and really, 13-1 is pretty fuckin' good...then a quick dinner and off to my second game at eight rinks with the cowboys where we lost 4-1...maybe it's a trend...
ok...sleep soon...breakfast with fawn tomorrow...and then, i think, fixing some crap at don bull's, some work at propellor, and fixing the ducting at megan's...
night night.
