Burnett County WI....We need the driveway, which is a couple hundred feet long and almost always has a drift somewhere along the way, plowed by a private contractor....If he doesn't show in a timely manner, I run the snowblower.
MY SR yr I went to HS bout a block away from Xcel. Was headed to an MTC bus stop to go home when someone gave me a free ticket to the Championship game.
Shahdag has been blessed with living, or at least enjoying extended stays, in many different places. She probably knows more about adapting to different cultures than any of the rest of us.
I wish I wasn't so sports challenged in so many venues. I know all the rules and strategies in football, basketball, baseball/softball, volleyball, tennis, bowling, track and field. But I am almost clueless when it comes to hockey and soccer, both extremely popular here in the U.S. and around the world.
LOL. Yep. I absolutely love the movie and put it on every now and then just to enjoy it for awhile. No guns. No violence. Again it isn't what I would classify as a great movie though reading reviews on the internet a lot of people would argue with me on that. But it is a very satisfying and enjoyable movie. And considering that the two actors playing lead roles are not competition/Olympic level ice skaters, some very brilliant direction and editing made you believe they were.

How wonderful. Of course you had to take the initiative to make it happen which most people would never have the nerve or aptitude to do, but still it's great when something like that works out. Good for you.Something good will happen
This year, I was unable to procure my usual set of tickets for the full tournament, as the holder of them gave them to family who wanted to attend, so I'm on my own to get in...But I'm also really tuned into the law of attraction and the mindset that the universe on all of our sides...My usual street parking zone was still giving over my choice spots, so faith in the universe was strong.
The Thursday games are easy...Get in the relatively short line at the box office, get a 2nd deck SRO ticket and mosey over to my usual scavenged seat on the club level....It's the Friday night semi-finals that's the tough ticket....Scalpers usually get $100 or more for a single seat.
So I spend the intermissions of the Thursday afternoon session circulating around the concourse, hitting up the people I've met over the course of the years to see if they had any spares...Evening session and Saturday tix were easy, but still nothing for Friday...Before the first game of the evening session, a couple that sits in my section, whom I've befriended over the years, waved me over to meet some of their friends...Some very nice older gents, who are also long-time attendees of the tourney - over 30 years...After several minutes of general chit-chat, I got the notion to ask if anyone had an extra for Friday...One of the guys did, and had been afraid that his extra would go to waste, as he only had a paper pass to get in instead of a transferable e-ticket....All I had to do is meet up with him at 6:00 on Friday at the main gate, and I'm in....$20 face value.
So I double up on good things; get to meet some really nice long-time fans, whom I will likely see and commiserate with at future tournaments, and get in the big session for regular price.
Have a little faith....Something good will happen.
