WWOOOWWW HHHOOOO , what a win, what a great game, 5-2 , and it makes you proud to be an American, well half an American anyway with duel nationality,Great game Girls sorry players,you were fantastic,what a game , what an experience so glad I was there to give this report.
Me, Agnes and Cuthbert left for the airport on out tricycles with the woven bags on the back at like 4 .30 this morning, things were going great for the first couple of miles then Cuthbert tried to do a 180 on River Road when he saw a store selling cokes for 80 cents,normally there at least 99 cents so he realized what a deal that was and he was going to buy two,one for the journey there and one for the return trip.
Unfortunately he didn't see the sewage truck coming from cleaning out the Porter Potties from the camp ground in the Forest Preserve ,bugger was doing 45 mph in a 35 limit, and when that thing hit the breaks and the sludge shot out the top ,you kind of sensed things were not going to end well.
My guess is it topped out at about a 100 feet in the air, stopped, and then it accelerated pretty dam fast heading back to earth, oh and Cuthbert, who slipped his trike gear into first hit the peddles and broke the chain, but I must admit the look on his face was pretty priceless when that first 1/2 ton of poop was a couple of feet from his head and his little legs were spinning those pedals and getting nowhere.
I will be the first to admit the flight to Vancouver was not the most pleasant I have ever experienced, but even Agnes said that having the 12 seats between the three of us gave us plenty of space to stretch out, and that was kind of nice.
Same as when we got to the game, our tickets in the upper section, Row ZZ were fairly far from the pitch, but once again a lot of people chose to give us a lot of room and stand in the isles, so we each had plenty of room to put our feet over the seats in front and relax.
I bought a program, a hot dog, and a Mountain Dew, for less than 45 quid in Canadian money, Agnes said that was a bit expensive and I guess it was, but lets be serious this is a once in a life time experience so it was time to splash out.
We only had like 9 1/2 hours to wait before the game kicked off ,so we had plenty of time to take in the sights and smells of the stadium, but to be honest having Cuthbert sitting less than three rows away did kind of hide that wonderful fried onion smell of the dog toppings.
OK bed time for me , but be sure to come back tomorrow for the full 90 minute report on the game.
