02-23-24 Rotary on the Rocks – Pink the Rink
Today was very productive again. I bought a shelving unit for only $20 from a client who was clearing out repossessed items. I intend to make a spot for it to hold my future Lego projects. I think the glass shelves will show them well. And, well, $20! I just have to arrange for a truck to pick it up as I don’t want to take it apart to put in my car.
I left the office, stopped at Safeway for my prescriptions, mailed a birthday card off to Jackie and then headed to the arena. Tonight was the Rotary on The Rocks night. Apparently it is a monthly thing, socials. I met a group of 30 or so at the restaurant in the upper section and we had a burger buffet before taking our seats in section Y. It is kitty corner to where I had my season tickets and it made me realize how good those seats were in section K. It was tough to see some of the action as the players standing at the benches blocked a lot. The game wasn’t great and we seriously lost to Trail, but it was nice to hang out and get to know people better. I sat next to Dave M and I feel bad for him. He had a job that took him on many adventures, was married for 49 years, no kids, and his wife passed some time ago. He was born in 1941, the same year as my Mom. I now realize why I see him out and about by himself so often. It must be lonely at home. It was pink the rink night and there were several elementary school groups out in blazing colour. There was a puck toss for prizes, but I barely made mine clear the glass, lol.
I had a good laugh with the ladies sitting next to me as I reminisced about crushing on some of the Kimberley Dynamiters when I first moved there in the early 80s. I told them I was going to stalk them online and see where they were now. I am looking for number 4 after all. (not really) It gave us a good giggle anyway. I also found a new nonalcoholic Corona that I like
It is windy out, my cat is unsettled. I had a good day. That is all.
