So some people say I’m lucky. Some people say you have to be good to be lucky. I’m certainly not good…

So I’m up here in Kelowna doing a little work to bring in some bling. Friday night rolls around, and I don’t have many plans on my plate but heading out for dinner and perhaps later bringing the smackdown on some of the population on my Playstation. So as I’m wandering through the empty lobby of the hotel, the girl behind the check-in counter pipes up :

Counter-girl – “Hi Mr Healey, have any plans for tonight?”

….in my younger days I would have had some kind of witty banter for this, but I’m old and my mind is fading…

Me – “Uh…nope, no plans.”

Counter-girl – “Want to go to a hockey game?”

So the kindly counter-girl bestows upon me a pair of tickets to a WHL game that night. I thank her, and as I wander away I start to think. What am I going to do with a PAIR of hockey tickets. I decide at that point to see if can’t make some more of that thing called bling, and see if I can scalp them. So off I head to the collesium, and begin to ply my trade.

In short order, I’ve managed to sell off both the tickets, and now have a fist-full-o-dollars. What’s any self-respecting man supposed to do with ill gotten monies? Why walk across the street to the casino and see if he can’t that get little bit of monies into much more monies!

…well as you can guess, I didn’t do any such thing, so after blowing most of my ill-gotten bling on the slot machines, I decide it’s time to head out to find some dinner. As I’m walking back to my car, I walk right by the box office for the hockey collesium…

Some Man – “Hey dude, you want a hockey ticket?”

Me – “Uh…no thanks, I’m good.”

Some Man – “It’s free dude, my buddy didn’t show up so you can have it if you want it.”

Apparently it was my destiny to see this hockey game. It seemed unavoidable so I succumbed to the hockey Gawds and I took the ticket and went in to watch what turned out to be a great hockey game.

…I blew the rest of my ill gotten cash on hookers and blow, but that’s another story…

“I wish I had some goddamn milk,
My cheerios just aint the same,
I wish I had some goddamn milk,
Too bad the milkman never came!”
