Hockey inCalifornia?!?

The Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup tonight! Go West Coast hockey! The Ducks are bringing the Cup to California!

Ok, truth is, I'm not a sports fan. But Jimmy plays the game so by marriage osmosis:
Hockey is my favorite sport!!
This photo is a flashback to 1996. The Hockey Hall of Fame is in Toronto and we went that summer. Jimmy's standing next to the Stanley Cup for a photo op.

Beaten Like A Rented Mule

Jimmy and his team, the Surf City Rats enjoyed their games at the Vegas Tournament this year, but unfortunately, they lost all 3 of the playoff games and didn't move on to the semi-finals. Despite their losses, (and lots of time spent in the penalty box, even the goalie -eh hem- got a penalty) they had a lot of fun.

Love in Las Vegas

I'm not a gambler, but I love our yearly trip to Las Vegas. Especially since we go in the fall and the weather is mild. In fact, on Friday night, we were treated to a spectacular thunder and lightning show. Then on his way home from Jimmy's last hockey game on Saturday morning, he saw snow on the nearby Mt. Charleston mountain range. There's very little that I miss about living in the desert, but the desert storms are so spectacular, they're nearly worth paying for.

One show that certainly was worth paying for was Cirque du Soliel's newest Vegas production, "Love". The entire production is set to Beatles songs and it was a feast for the eyes and ears.

All you need is love.
