A Few Quick Notes 444

-After what seemed like several weeks, though could at most have been two, of rain-less days we finally managed to get some daytime rain today. Strangely, I actually found the experience to be rather pleasant and refreshing. It is strange to go without seeing rain for such a long period, at least that is the case if you are used to living in places where it tends to rain every few days.

-You can feel the excitement building in Halifax. All you need to do is just walk down the street and you can sense that something big is about to happen.

I presume I have whetted your palate? You want to know what I am talking about?

Well, of course, it is the upcoming big week at Casino Nova Scotia. The big week is happening in late September and will commence with a show by Pauly Shore on September 24th and then transition into a Mickey Rooney show on September 26th. Amazingly, tickets for each show are more than $40, and, much to my surprise, the tickets to Shore's show are over $50. As much as I might like to see one or both of these shows, I really don't know how I will be able to justify such exorbitant ticket prices.

-Neil was kind enough to film an early use of the new SodaStream machine (the acquisition of which was mentioned in the previous post).

As you can see, it is pretty straightforward and easy to use.

-Somehow we managed to win all three of our last Ultimate games by somewhat substantial margins. While I am not sure if we will be able to maintain such a streak through the play-offs, it has certainly been nice to have some success as a team.
