I’ve not met my weekly publishing schedule lately. I haven’t had much time.
I went to Disneyland with my sisters. We got pictures with Mickey, Minnie, Cruella, Chip, Dale, Goofy, and Mulan. Nicolas Cage sat beside us for brunch at Goofy’s kitchen, which triggered a lengthy discussion about the overtly polite Canadian culture, a resolution that autographs are silly, and a too long debate on the relative merits of getting a photograph with a famous person. In the end we decided that the best story would result from asking Nick Cage to take a picture of the four of us with Goofy. By the time we came up with this plan our opportunity to enact it was two hours in the past. We had fun. I giggled like a little kid for almost an entire day.
My country can skate around a sheet of ice and shoot a hard rubber disk into a net better than any other. That made yesterday awesome. I’m not sure why that is, but it’s true. There was a spontaneous orgy of dancing and hollering so large that the police closed the street to contain the party.

In Victoria
In Vancouver
My wife watched the game in Vancouver while I was in Victoria. She met Wayne Gretzky. If we were to re-enact that Friends episode and make a list of five celebrities we could sleep with, I know Wayne would be on her list. So, it was a bit of a relief that she (struck out) decided to catch the ferry home.
In honor of our victory, here are some Canadian stereotype comics.

Disneyland was amazingly great and you really did laugh like a little school kid. I need more info. on how Michelle met Wayne Gretzky. He was at the game. Was Mich there. More details
Well – I did not meet Wayne – he was at the next table with Vince Vaughn and entourage at the Hyatt Lounge in Vancouver. Vince did stand beside me for a while – so I did have his ass in my face for a good 30 minutes. My friend Kathy was bolder then us and went over to talk with Wayne and Vince. At the end of the night she did grab Wayne and we got a picture with him. It all happened so fast that I look very stunned/confused that it happened. I was amazed at all the star struck people thought – so Dirk’s comment about Canadians’ and autographs I don’t agree with. People were asking both of them for their picture all night. So if I pop up on the internet – it is not me they are taking the picture of – I was just in the way of Vince and Wayne.
Looks like you had a great time. Much deserved!!
I forgot to mention that in that lengthy discussion about photographs with famous people, as we stood in line waiting for a ride, Dirk did tell us that if we didn’t shut up and stop talking about it, he would punch us in the face. I think at that point he had had enough of his chatty sisters. Ha Ha
At least you have not all been sharing a room for 7 months. My kids deserve a gold medal just for that!
