Well hello Wednesday! You are so full of exhilarating ringette goodness and combined with beautiful sunshine outside, you are a good day.
Very sunny day, but blistering cold here in Halifax. Today’s musical interlude on the way to the rink included Emily and I belting out this song.
Speaking of music, our boardroom at the rink is right next to an aerobics studio. I have not looked into the studio while these classes are going on, but the sounds coming from that room sort of go like this. This is kind of distracting but it is also very humorous.
Every day on our way to and from the rink, we need to go over a bridge. The toll is 75 cents each way. At the beginning of the week I had lot of quarters in my change purse, but now we are getting down to the small stuff and when we crossed the bridge last night, Emily had counted out a bunch of pennies and dimes. I felt just a bit odd when I asked the attendant if he took pennies (20 of them specifically). He did, but I didn’t get the impression that they are welcomed. Money is money, right?
For those of you have been following along, our nicknames for today are Lucy and Ethel. I am Lucy and Emily is Ethel. We are also told to watch this video, which was the inspiration for today’s nicknames.
Last night we stopped to get some food on the way home from the rink and bumped into the coaching staff from Team Alberta. Who, I might add has graciously supplied me with every single one of their team pins this week. This whole pin trading business here at the games should be listed as one of the official sports!
Have you been checking out the videos we have been posting? Awesome one with Alberta’s Christianne Varty doing a team cheer at the end, and what about this one with Nova Scotia fans Sophie and Maddy? Classic quote when Emily asks why they play ringette “It looks pretty easy.” You gotta love how kids tell it like it is!
The games so far today have been pretty exciting. BC beat PEI this morning so they go on to play Alberta tonight. Saskatchewan pulled off a pretty big upset beating Manitoba 3-2. Obviously Manitoba was crushed. I must say that the hardest part of my job is having to see these athletes who have worked so hard suffer such painful defeat.
The refs are still smiling and having fun, so are the fans. The biggest smiles may even be coming from us.
More to come tomorrow.
Giddy up.
Alayne & Emily
