Blog Seventeen: Christmas Saved
Well, some high level diplomacy got Christmas dinner restored. Sadly, TCB and Donald begged out due to scheduling difficulties, but no problem. We'll have six for dinner, plenty.
The DVDs are coming along nicely. Presents are bought and wrapped. Tree looks great. Wife is sexy and perfect. Baby is my little princess.
I was amused to listen to and watch the production around them naming the Canadian hockey squad for the Olympics. I don't recall them doing this before; I mean, it was like they were presenting the Academy Awards. Black tie event in GM place, and major controversies and such, such as the selection of Cheap Shot Bertuzzi. There was more coverage of this than of the election debates.
What's funny is that in all the brouhaha over picking Bertuzzi nobody noticed that they picked a lot of old guys who're over the hill. Rob Blake? Rob Blake isn't one of the 100 best Canadian hockey players, much less 20 best. He was great in 1998. Bertuzzi certainly is not as good as Eric Staal. Just weird, weird picks, apparently based on who's in with Wayne Gretzky's inner circle.
The consensus among sportswriters is "Well, they seemed to pick on loyalty instead of ability, but Canada's so deep they'll win anyway." It's funny how short memories are. We won in 2002. We didn't win in 1998, though, did we? Come the Olympics, I predict many people will be very sorry that the defensive corps has so many old farts in it.
