Who's a Fat Bastard - Revoir Mes Amis

May 29, 2014

     Revoir Mes Amis. Once again, no Canadian team in the Stanley Cup final. I had the dubious pleasure of watching the game with a world class conspiracy nut! Every call, or non call brought a tirade on the obvious American conspiracy to keep the Canadian teams out of the final. Five times since the Canadiens won the cup in 93, has a Canadian team played for the cup, he proclaimed. He claims the Referee, under orders from the NHL, cost the Canadian teams the cup. Five times! No team in the history of hockey, has ever won a Stanley Cup by scoring  NO GOALS! Here in Vancouver, there is still the feeling the Refs robbed us against the Bruins. Wah Wah Wah . We didn't score any goals! We all blamed Luongo.  The truth is. We didn't score any goals! It doesn't matter if he let in seven or one. If you don't score any! Ask Tokarski. Good run by Montreal. Great hockey this year.

     I have been involved in a Diabetes study for four years and I go three times a year for an interview. They suck a little blood out of me, take my blood pressure and weigh me. I had the best results I've ever had. My blood glucose was perfect. My blood pressure was 119/81, I'm down nineteen kilos since I started the study and he didn't check my colon. He did however ask me to bring him urine and stool samples. I just left him my shorts.
     Armed with the knowledge that I am headed in the right direction. I head directly to Woody's for chicken wings. It's our local here in Coquitlam. We're not drinkers so we go to there for the food. They do 25 cent wings and always have good specials. 
Should have taken the pic before we ate 34 of the wings!
     They have NTN poker as well. Lisa took all my fake money. She already has all the real money! Last time we were in Las Vegas, she finished sixth in a tournament at the Strat. Steve and I were already on the rail. After 14 years together, I'm used to Lisa beating me. If it doesn't involve physical strength or common sense. I got at best, a 50/50 chance. 
     Went shopping at Stupor Store. Does a store really need to be that big? How do they run this place with no employees? I was looking for Crisco for like, fifteen minutes. The only thing harder to find than Crisco is some one who works there. I finally found someone who wasn't on a cash register. He was stacking lime green bananas beside the existing brown ones. " Do you have any banana coloured bananas?" I queried.  He stared at me like I had asked him how to build a nuclear reactor. " How about Crisco, any idea?" "Aisle fifty-six, I think." He thinks. I look up, and I'm at aisle 11. The guy who doesn't know what a banana is supposed to look like, "thinks" it's aisle Fifty-six. Screw it. It was for Lisa anyway.
     Momma Lee was coming to dinner and it was already four o'clock. Down to the Green Room for an ego bashing attempt at a sit up. I am definitely regressing in this department, or maybe I'm just full of wings.
     I did fifty quick crunches and rode the Maiden for forty-eight minutes. 
We be crunchin!
Pedalling without hitting my belly with my knees!


    I had to go get Momma Lee and get back while the game was on. It was half way through the first when I got to Lake Shore. Lee was waiting and we got back with 4 minutes left in the period. 
     Lisa did a prime rib roast tonight that was amazing. Perfectly cooked.  They had new potatoes tossed in olive oil and fresh basil. I had asparagus. They had oven fresh bread. I had salad. 
Prime Rib Dinner.
     When I break three hundred, I'm going to eat a cracker. I think when I do I'll probably be in New Jersey. Lisa was born in Kearny NJ. That's where the Soprano's was filmed. That pizza joint in the credits is in Kearny and has great pizza. That will be my reward.               I've been going at it since eight this morning. Slowly getting everything in order before we leave. I have been so preoccupied I keep forgetting to take pictures. I'll try to do better. 
     Bottom line , my Doctors happy with what I'm doing. I'm happy and feeling good about my health, and about my life. Writing this blog has my creative juices flowing. So far no down side. 

That's all I got
Till next time

Peace Out Ya'll
