I'm going to Montreal next week. I'm very excited.
I took the Slayer to a basketball game last night. Did you know Edmonton has a pro basketball team?
Me neither. But it was fun.
During one time-out, then announcer declared there would be a prize for a free dinner for the loudest fan in the arena.
DAN'S BRAIN: The Slayer is going to win this one.
Sure enough, The Slayer was on her feet, banging her thundersticks and shrieking and jumping around.
ANNOUNCER: I'm saying who can be the loudest, most annoying person in here?!?!
The Slayer redoubled her efforts, jumping around and screaming.
I had complete faith in the Slayer's ability to be loud and annoying, but I decided to help out a little.
While she jumped around and shrieked and made a spectacle of herself, I pointed at her with one hand, covered my ears with the other, put the same annoyed and exasperated expression on my face that I used as an announcer for Steve Rivers' ring entrance, caught the announcer's eye and looked at him with a pleading look that said "Please, man. Make her stop."
We're going to dinner next week.
Life is good.
