every day is a gift...

..that's why they call it the present.
huh? i saw that on the back of a car yesterday-a bumpersticker. holy crap. so if it's a gift, a present, where do i return the most recent set of days i've had? retrun these 'gifts'...? the flu has, seemingly, subsided a bit but the clod is still hanging on-tight. congestion, snot, cough-all still hanging around. so excellent. and tomorrow corie and i leave-along with the rest of the team, to the penticton area for an outdoor hockey tourney. i think we'd screwed but will soldier on as if we're not. floyd says, 'the lord hates a coward' so here we go. the only shining light is that, well, i'll leave that for when we get back. if i got to have some enjoyment at someone else's expense. the good times could be just around the corner. so close. we'll see.
i guess i should go buy some chains just in case such a thing is required during our drive.
we went to the new costco yesterday afternoon. it's only a few blocks from my place and maybe because it's so new, very quiet inside. almost like being there at midnight or something. i only bought a couple of things but the garbs and mishi bought more and saved themselves a few bucks. mishi's brother, peter, grabbed some crap as well. i know have enough shit tickets for the next six months...now, that's a good time.
so, the snow is falling and i guess i should get my shit together...more details as they develop. topanga tonight with fawn and tobe...nice.
