Oiler game early this afternoon, I'm blogging this time of day. I'm taking my sleeping pill before I go to bed at 3am this morning. Speaking about the struggling last place in the West Oilers local news film footage showed Connor McDavid skating with the guys at practice yesterday. They were all happy he's back skating with the team but I think its going to be after the All Star break he'll be playing regulation games.
Thought I forgot about this didn't you? Lets see how I scored on my predictions for 2015: Do I get a Ding or a Bonk:
1.) Cern will discover a new particle that will shack the world.
Ding. last July Cern announced the discovery of the Pentaquark.
2.) There will be a breakthrough in the JFK case that will reopen the investigation.
Bonk
3.) A nuclear bomb will be exploded by terrorists.
Bonk.
4.) Canada will be the first country to go cashless.
Bonk.
5.) Google will release the Google car.
Bonk.
6.) A Canadian NHL team will win the Stanley Cup.
Bonk
7.) Someone from either the Rolling stones or the Beatles will die.
Bonk.
8.) A major disease will wipe out billions of people.
Bonk
9.) A major tech application will be introduced in the same scope and impact like the Internet.
Bonk.
10.) Two major countries will unit.

I got 1 out of 10 correct. Now back by popular demand: My top ten predictions for 2016.
1.) Hillary Clinton will be President.
2.) A Canadian pro team will win a major championship.
3.) Oil will remain under $40
4.) There will be controversial religious figure emerging like a L. Ron Hubbard.
5.) Canadian Government legalizes Marijuana.
6.) NHL Canadian expansion
7.) A New music genre will take the world by storm.
8.) Someone in my family will die
9.) Major medical cure
10.) A major tech gadget like the iPad or virtual reality will wow the world.
There you have it. Lets see if I can score better next year.
I've been trying to look up an old "partner" of mine from the 1980's-1990's. She sponsored me into Amway at the time. We were working well together as a team in the late 1990's. Anne wasn't to impressed with her. I knew where she worked and all. I looked for her on Face Book, linked in etc. For the most part my friend became a ghost. I managed to see her once in 2005 on my way to work. I was getting off a rush hour bus and she was getting on from where the 7-11 is near Joey Tomato's is on Jasper Ave. That was the last I saw of her. She even recognized me and we made contact. Last night and typed her name and apparently she's a registered massage therapist. I doubt she's still doing Amway. I always thought she was a life'er. Her online foot print was as week as a flat line on a medical scope but what was there was enough to connect the dots. I don't know how to resolve this but I'd like to get together with her again for a coffee. Anyway that's all for now.
Welcome to my Blog. Anne and I live here in Strathearn Edmonton Alberta, with our 2 cats etc. This blog is about my life, rants, politics, books, music production, Sports, some gaming, Freemasonry and some WTF-ish moments that give me pause. Feel free to contact me on my or YouTube channel Shannon on Sounds. Thanks for dropping by

For the most part I accomplished
what I wanted to do Sunday, reading and answering email, YouTube, that kind of thing.
When Anne left to do her shopping I called Dave but the answering machine took over. I left a vm. No sooner had Anne returned the phone rang and it was Dave returning my call. He was happy to hear from me, like wise. Dave mentioned how he was at my fathers wake in 1996 at the Legion and tried looking for me but mom had told him I couldn't make it I filled in the gaps saying that I was on welfare at the time and resources were thin. Dave told me his father past away 2 years before mine. We briefly talked about people we knew some events and about what I'm doing now. About 10 minutes into the conversation, Anne thinking it was the Masons, she was tearing into me about brunch and I can call them back and on and on being terribly rude. I politely told Dave I'd call back Monday. He said he gets off work at 2pm. I had to explain to Anne that Dave was my best friend growing up in the 1960's etc. We lost touch with each other and we hadn't seen each other since 1991. She felt bad about that. He said he's off work at 2pm tomorrow and I'll call him then. I will.
I've got problems with my wifi and my laptop and I think its because the pw was changed. Anyway, that's all for now.
