Good Rocky's Revival

So, the long weekend. in winkler. the looooong weeeekend.

Let me bring you up to speed:
6:00pm. Bonnie arrives at home.

6:35 pm. Bill, Heath and I decided on Chinese food for dinner.

6:36pm. We begin arguing menu choices. Mostly Bill & Heath argue about how many items we ought to order. Guess who won.

6:45pm. Everyone gets into a nicely heated debate regarding the American presidential candidates.
Bill: "Finds Clinton a little shrill, and is pretty sure Obama will be able to get more accomplished in foreign policy"
Bonnie: "Finds it curious that 'shrill' is becoming synonymous with 'irritating' and not with 'professionalism', 'dignified', or 'intelligent' and is sure Obama's going to win (on account of charisma - not a historically unique incident in the states) but thinks Clinton is the better choice."
Heather: "thinks they're all nuts."*

6:47pm Bill lands arse over tea-kettle at the bottom of the stairs in a huge pool of water.

6:48pm. Bill confirms that the water heater (or something) is leaking.

6:49pm. I begin praying to Jesus that Heath is not going to die in 3 seconds as she plugs in a shop vac which has just been sitting in water for an hour.

6:50 pm. Bill and Heath continue to turn the air blue as they rip up flooring, rescue hockey equipment, vaccuum up water and try not to break their necks. Bonnie remains upstairs, still praying.

...as always, there's more to tell. But quite frankly, if you've never met Heath, I'm not sure you could possibly understand. I'll try to explain it in the morning. Let's just say, it may have been discovered that on more than one occassion Heath has worn mis-matched shoes to work. Spec-tacular.



*she had more to say but this is the gist.
