Yesterday marked our 12th wedding anniversary. We had a enjoyable Fall day wandering around the area. We stopped at the Orangeville market with the dogs. They were surprisingly well behaved amidst all that temptation and stimulation. We also took some photos with all the Halloween props in the City Hall gardens. The lunch plan was Ray's in Alton. On the way there we stopped for a short burn-dog-energy walk in a park we passed. It was a really wonderful Fall day. Lunch was fantastic. Ray's offered variations of Thanksgiving turkey and chicken dinners. Yum! It was impossible to park and Ray's was too tightly packed IMHO but the food and company made it worthwhile.

I thought relaxing with a movie might be a way to unwind in the evening. I read the stellar reviews for Wolverine and Deadpool. and thought it would be a great option. Wow... Not what I was expecting. At. all. It was so awful it was nearly unwatchable. Just a disconnected, bumbling juvenile mess. Ugh. It was hard to watch, for all the wrong reasons. Sloppy plot, embarrassingly puerile humour over and over and over again, it was melodramatic in the worst way and had cheese layered so thick at times I can't believe it made it to film. A few laughs but not worth enduring the entire runtime for them. Just a bad, bad, bad film. Sorry Ryan but WTF was that....?!! The only good part was the flashbacks in the credits. ⭐½ I have no idea what movie the rest of y'all watched. The fact that this film grossed over *gasp* $1B and is the highest grossing Marvel film is shocking. WTF people.

The Sabres finally won a game. They beat on a depleted Florida team but a win is a win. They desperately need points to avoid another failed season.

Ball hockey was a good night. This season we have lost all our games. Having a quality goalie is important, who knew?! Spotting teams five goals makes coming back a massive challenge. And we fight and get close but the mountain is just too high to climb. We have a few weaker players added to our team this season and I've been paired with them often on defense. It is disappointing. They have no idea how to support their d-partner or where to be positionally... So if I pinch, which I want to do, then no one is covering our d-zone. Mildly annoying. We had some good laughs post-game at Louis.

Having a relaxing Thanksgiving. My family is all out West so no one over today and no where to go. I'm going to BBQ tenderloins.

Photos from a great Thanksgiving day walk. Bdot holding out on one of the nicest walks in the region.

In case war in Ukraine and genocide in the middle east wasn't enough... North and South Korea are now shooting at each other. Good grief.

Hmm... I've forgotten how much I dislike wearing socks. But I dislike cold feet more so... the seasonal change is forcing compliance to the Sock Gawds.
