1983 Oilers Ornament

Well as you can see, I did quite a bit of the Christmas decorating yesterday. It’s early for me, as I don’t usually ever do it any before the 1st of December. Since I had 4 days off, I thought I should get a start on it. I’m not doing as much as usual, because the kids are gone, and we’ll be at our parents’ for Christmas. Stanley just canNOT resist the tree. It’s just like one big playground as far as he’s concerned. I tried scaring the crap out of him so he’d bugger off, but it’s very hard to scare a cat who was found on the highway!
Our weather is BEYOND cold. It’s -27C (-20F), but close to -40C with the windchills. That is ridiculous weather for November!! This is our typical January/February weather. We already have a crazy amount of snow. The roads are supposedly treacherous. Oh happy, happy, joy, joy!
We are also going to the hockey game tonight, and there’s a substantial walk from the parking lot over to the arena. You have to go over a long, high, walkway, and the wind up there is going to be brutal. I’m definitely going to have to haul out some heavy duty winter duds! Tonight is the night Pron*ger makes his first appearance back here since slinking out of town. He held a press conference last night. No idea why, as he just kept repeating everything he’s said since it all erupted. The BOObirds will be out in full force tonight. Frankly……I’m over it. He played great for us for a year, he got us within one win of a Stanley Cup, and he kept whatever shit was going on to himself. Had he displayed any class in the way he left, or faced the press when he announced he wanted out, I wouldn’t have had any hard feelings at all.
Guess it’s time to get ready, and bundle up… I’m on bus supervision this morning! Gah! Sounds like a Starbuck’s morning to me!
