Tonight Michelle, David and I all attended a Ducks Pre-season game. We had a great time. We kept trying to get better seats and got kicked out of them about 5 times. But I did over hear a conversation about Teemu. This lady was telling her friend that she doesn’t think Teemu will come back based on converstations she had had with him. He didn’t say straight out that he wasn’t coming back but he did say that he missed his family, his wife was pregnant and he liked the fact that his golf game was getting better. I guess because he has more time to play. He said the hard part is giving up something you like so much. The Canucks were very bad losers, starting many fights. It was strange to watch a game where Selanne and Neidermider did not play. I hope at least one of them comes back this season. Hockey officially started for me tonight. I bought a puck that says “Stanely Cup Champions 2007” on it and a pennant that says the same thing.
Our Entertainment Center is Finally Gone!
After 3 years of sitting in our 2nd bedroom and having no real function our very heavy oak entertainment system is gone. And it left fast! Our good friend Jonas expressed an interest and we let him know it was his if he wants it, but he has to move, it because it is too heavy for us. He sent three big guys over to move it and they were lightening fast. Michelle and I are glad to have one of our bedrooms back. Thank you Jonas and Isela, and please thank your family and friends who came to move it.

OC Heart Walk
Michelle and I walked in the OC Heart Walk last Saturday morning. It was hot and the walk seemed a little easier than last year. Last year they had bibs, this year they did not, so it was kinda odd. They let everyone begin the walk at the same time, instead of letting people go in groups. It was difficult walking in such a huge group of people. All in all, I’m glad we did it, and it was a great way to start the weekend. I didn’t see anyone else from my company there, but at least 7 other people should have been there.

Pasta Strike in Italy
Due to the increase in wheat cost, pasta has increased in cost by 20% in some cases. As a result, today is designated as the day not to purchase pasta in Italy. The demand for wheat has increased, due to the recent emergence of bio-fuels. Ciao.
