The city was all cut up today. 19-block Rose Street, a north-south vein of downtown Regina, was blocked off for a ball hockey tournament featuring NHL-ers and local businesses. Watching from a broken window in a 2nd-floor office in the old Leader building, a woman saw Blake Comeau, former Saskatoon Blade, slash away at Boyd Kane, ex-Regina Pat.
At my son's request, I sliced three inches off his hockey stick this morning, the better for him to operate in tight corners of the ball hockey court.
Jack Semple played "O Canada" in the manner of Hendrix ripping "Star Spangled Banner" into the skies over Woodstock, 1968.
More afternoon after that: cut cake at a baby shower, drove south on half of Albert Street (the other half lifted away for resurfacing). Finally, a slash of sun out of showers around 2:30. I helped my daugher fix some plumbing and got home in time to watch A.J. Burnett take 101 pitches to get through 5 innings against the Cubs.
Right about now the Riders break out of a huddle.
By the close of business today, I will have spent money at Wal-mart, Home Depot, Aegean Coffee Shop, Sears, and Dollarama.
