So I had another new experience today: the urine sample. That was fun. I had to get bloodwork done and I guess they threw in the pee for free. Once again my deep veins thwarted them, and they had to draw the blood from the back of my hand, which means next week my hand will look like a rotten orange. Hip hip.

St. FX was ranked this year’s top Canadian “primarily undergraduate” university by Macleans, which is hilarious to anyone who’s ever spent time there or even passed through Antigonish. It’s also funny to Bruce MacKinnon, it would seem.

The Canadiens managed to steal a point last night after being down 2, tying it up with less than 4 minutes to go before losing in the shootout. Say what you want about the shootout, but it’s friggin’ exciting. And I have to admit, seeing Sidney Crosby score the winning goal on the final shot against the team he loved growing up…it made me smile, even though it put my team in the L column.

One of the nice things about working for a bank is that I get Remembrance Day off. Gonna try to get a whole bunch of errands and little nagging things taken care of before I leave Sunday morning. But it’s nice that the only responsibility I have today is to be quiet for a few minutes and think about how unbelievably lucky I am.
