A 'Golden' Day

Yesterday started off good, and I knew the day would end on a good note, with the Robin Williams show. But as the day went on, it just got better and better.

An already good day was made better with a phone call from Colin (see blog entry for December 10th).

Then, towards the end of the work day, I decided to check my gmail account. There was something from VANOC regarding Olympic tickets. I went straight to my account to see if I got anything we signed up for... but I couldn't remember my password, so I had to wait to receive a new one. It only took a few minutes, but still... And there it was: two tickets to the men's gold hockey game. I could not believe it. I called Colin. He could not believe it. And I believe half the people on the 3:15 p.m. ferry from Nanaimo to Tsawassen yesterday know about our luck.

Too bad we didn't buy a lottery ticket for last night's draw... the wins could come in handy paying my January Visa bill...

Oh yeah, Robin Williams was damn funny. I was in hysterics for almost two straight hours. My temples hurt at the end. And I don't think it helped my cold much. But who cares. It was the perfect way to end the perfect day.
