I went to the Bills game yesterday.  Congrats Toronto.  It looks as if you’ll have an NFL franchise sooner rather than later.  Pathetic.  But I digress…

I was invited by a buddy who had gotten us a limo and tickets.  So, a total of 7 dudes, a couple of coolers, one limo, and an absolutely miserable afternoon.  What could go wrong?

Aside from us acting like your typical football stadium hooligans, we were completely within the boudaries of the law.  That is, until after the game.

It is my opinion that you CANNOT go to Buffalo without making a trip to Mighty Taco.  Their taco has no equal.  This is not debateable.

Little did I know that I was to be an accomplice in what will forever be known as “The Great Mighty Taco Heist”.

There I was, standing by the counter, waiting on my Mighty Pack, when my buddy, let’s call him “Ron” (even though his name is Shawn) stands next to me.  I was being used as a visual shield as he picked up, and walked out with, a napkin dispenser.

Every limo should have one, right?  So, we enjoyed our tacos on the ride home with a limitless supply of napkins.  Normal.  All that being said, I still hit my jeans with not one, but two stains.  Perhaps the next time we visit Buffalo, they can provide me with a bib and a garden hose.

This huge backyard rink is in Sylvan Lake Alberta, west of Red Deer. Its the creation of Shane Cyrenne, originally from Pontiex, south of Swift Current, and his neighbor Chris McNeil. 9000 gallons of water was used to make the rink, and 70 hours in the shop to build the mini-Zamboni.

Growing up in Minnesota, hockey is life.  I played for 8 years as a kid.  Now, I play when the opportunity presents itself.  Usually, that means I’ll skate in a charity game.  We had one on Saturday night in Webster.  PXY’s Blake Stryker, and J-Rod along with Pat the Producer from The Buzz all skated as well.  Our opponent?  The Rochester Amerks Alumni.  Egad, these guys skate circles around us.  But, if that wasn’t bad enough, their KIDS skate circles around us.

I’m the 3rd in from the right.  See that little guy next to me?  Yeah, he’s better than all of us.  But on Saturday, he went down!

There was less than a minute left in the game, and he went to skate around me towards goal.  So, I did what any mature man playing against a 10 year old would do.

I tripped him.

Don’t judge!  He had it coming!

• I give you women a ton of credit.  We wore heels Saturday for 98 PXY’s “Walk a Mile In Her Shoes.”  I don’t know how/why you would put yourself through that kind of torture.  By all means, don’t EVER feel like you need to wear heels to impress me.  I’ve got blisters within my blisters and my calves feel like they were assaulted with a 2×4.  Check the video on Sandy’s blog here.

• Props to a major fast food chain which will remain nameless.  We went to a location on West Ridge Road because Leah wanted a toy with her lunch.  WOW!  I didn’t know if I should eat lunch or pull up a chair and work on my Apple laptop.  They have transformed this restaurant into, what felt like, a Starbucks.

• Sandy is cheap.  I have accepted this.  Maybe you heard about this on the show this morning.  We went to a pumpkin patch so our daughter could make a memory.  Only thing is when it came time to pay for that memory, Sandy squashed it.  I don’t know, maybe I’m an idiot, but I’ll PAY for an experience.  In this case the experience of picking out the perfect Halloween pumpkin.  I don’t think you get the same kind of memory picking out a pumpkin at say…Aldi.  Again, maybe it’s me.

• It’s official.  I hate mowing our lawn.  I used to say I would never get a riding mower.  Well, after spending over 4 hours working on it on Saturday, I’m shifting.  I mean, really?  4 hours of my weekend MOWING?

• Sandy and I got to go out to dinner by ourselves Saturday night.  The only reason we got to go out for dinner was because Sandy had a gift certificate (see point 3).  The median age of the place we went to had to be around 83.  Wow, were we out of place.  Nothing but old, rich people talking about how much money they made in the past, and what they used to pay for a housekeeper.  The best part of the night was the waiter chasing after us as we walked out because I forgot to sign the bill.  My bad.

• The Chicago Bears have the ability to completely ruin my day.

• My Fantasy Football team has the ability to ease some of the pain.  That, and beer.

..that my Fantasy Football team is an unstoppable force.  I told myself I wouldn’t get caught up in this pastime as much as I have in the past.  I can’t help it.  I’m just that good.  As long as people feel it is necessary to talk about how well the Bills are doing, I will continue to boast about my Fantasy prowess!
