AN NHL JOKE ON ME

Yesterday, and with some overt glee, I tried to impress with my intention to miss joining friends for food last evening so I could watch the Buffalo Sabres meet the Boston Bruins as part of NHL Stanley Cup ice hockey action at 7pm.

Just a wee problem in my calculations: These two teams play tonight -- Monday.

I learned this the hard way, when at a little after 7pm last evening I popped on the television, tuned to the CBC, and there was a documentary. The voice told me it was David Suzuki. The Nature of Things was covering the history of the Lunokhod space program. I had seen it before and it was fascinating. Well, I watched it again as I devoured my Big Mac and large Fries.
