This & That Thursday

- Finally starting to feel a bit better after poisoning the family Tuesday night.   I thought I would make an easy night for myself and throw something together in the crock pot.  We had chicken breasts thawing in the fridge, and even though they weren’t quite defrosted, I figured what the heck – they’ll thaw in the crock pot!  (If you’re guessing that the Foodsafe course is not listed on my resume, you’d be right.) Long story short – two of us got sick, and the other two didn’t.  I can’t say for sure that it was the chicken, but I can hardly type that word without feeling a wave of nausea.

- I think I mentioned Canadian snowboarder Rob Fagan last week – he grew up with my cousin in Cranbrook.  He raced in the Snowboard Cross event Monday, but didn’t make it to the finals due to bumping into another rider.  He did end up coming 5th though, so a pretty good finish all things considered.

- Speaking of people we know on TV, have you seen this commercial yet?

That’s Aaron Douglas who is probably best known for playing Chief Tyrol on Battlestar Galactica.  I grew up with him in Creston – he lived right down the road from me.  We were in the same grade (and class) for a few years, and then he moved away, never to be seen again.  In high school I remember him being a big drama geek – guess I should have paid more attention to the drama geeks eh?

- I love Thursdays.  Everyone in my house goes to hockey practice and I have the whole house to myself.  Sometimes I crank the 80′s rock and run around the house naked, but usually I just have coffee and watch TV.
