lucky duck road trip... (or something like that)

For those of you who haven't heard yet... I'm on a lucky streak! Last week i got an email saying that i had won 2 free tickets to the hockey game in montreal against boston on Tues Apr 4 (just as a reminder, i had won 2 free concert tickets a month ago)... funny thing is that last time i was at a habs game it was also against the bruins. I won cause i am signed up as a member of the Habs fan club and my name was randomly selected. At first i just assumed that i wouldn't be able to go cause that's a long way to travel for a hockey game, and kinda expensive, so i offered the tickets to nick (my montreal friend) right away... lucky he had night class that night and didn't want the tickets, cause as soon as i told my dad, he was excited and wanted to go! YAY That means that i got a free ride to montreal (in the mini cooper)! So anyways, my dad got the time off work and we left at 5:00 Tues morning and got to the Space Agency at 12:30 where i got to see a bunch of my friends at lunch. I also dropped off some mint smoothie chocolates from the Easter bunny to the privileged few and picked up my apartment key from Ernest (cause Lindsay was gone on business to Japan this week and Ernest was given the responsibility of watering the plants while she is gone).

At supper time, my dad and i went downtown to Schwartz's for some famous Montreal smoked meat...Mmmmmmmm... and then found some really cheap underground parking right near the Bell Centre and got there just in time for the game to start. We also got a free t-shirt and towel for signing up for a mastercard (twice), hehe. Good times! Anyways, the game was AWWWWESOME! I loved it. I love hockey. It was tied up for pretty much the whole game... close games are always intense. And then in the last 5 mins montreal scored 2 back-to-back goals to win it 5-3. YAY!! We definitely proved to be the better team Tues night.

After the game then me and my dad went to Hurley's Irish Pub, just a few blocks away, where we met up with Nick, Steve M, Keith, Steph, Steve W, and Ernest for a beer and just chatted for about 2 hours or something. It was nice to get to visit with everybody again.... especially after just having been there like 2 months ago. Great and good unexpected random surprise road trip visit : ) Anyways, then Wed i just slept in and then stuck the key under the welcome mat for Ernest and headed home again at noon... made it back to stratford by 8:00... and that was the end of another great adventure. And my dad is the best.
