Short Shifts

Friday evening…went to Andrew’s and installed Visual Studio there…Watched Foster’s…had
institutional-style chicken strips and fries…went to improv, had a decent time, and almost
participated this time…ran into someone I knew while I was a student there…watched Anchorman, was funny if you enjoy Will Farrell…came back home.

Saturday…got up at 12…went to brunch with dad and Andrew…listened to PSU football on radio as drove Andrew back to dorm…mildly surprised to lose 6-4…did some homework…mowed lawn and raked leaves…smells of fall on the air…went to hockey game…Otters played well enough to win 4-3, several fights, some penalties not called that should have been, some called that should not have been…Saw the Hanson brothers…of Slapshot fame, not the teenybopper singers…announced their appearance as mock trade of three otters players to chorus of boos…Hanson’s proceeded to mock-fight with referee and backup goalie of visiting team…glorification of violent hockey, meeting with my disproval…came out again after 1st period, pulled by Zamboni, did laps to applause, then shot t-shirts into crowd…not that big a deal…line for autographs extended full length of one wing of the arena…played Syberia 2 and watched end of world series game 1 and Sox win.

Sunday…more Syberia 2…watched some NASCAR and football and baseball…lots of homework to do tomorrow, but will manage…END TRANSMISSION…
