I think we saw this coming…
Dan couldn’t resist. I know I wouldn’t be able to.
Some news…
The store is officially closing on Sunday night.
So fair warning. Anyone who wants the deals up there will have to order before Monday morning.
OK?
Kids went back to school yesterday. This was our first official Christmas/Winter break. They took it very well and were glad to go back to school (new Batman and Transformers backpacks didn’t hurt either).
We got exciting news as well. Carey Burch from the Nashville office of my agency William Morris was able to get me tickets for my family for tomorrow’s Predators game where the Pittsburgh Penguins come to play.
You don’t know this…but my son Brendan is a RABID Sidney Crosby fan.
He has the action figure, jersey, hockey cards, etc.
Even has a picture of him next to his bed.
I mentioned to Carey that I was thinking of picking up tickets for us to go see them (and take the twins to their first hockey game that Daddy wasn’t playing in). She told me to hold up.
A couple days later (yesterday) she emailed me telling me that William Morris apprently represents the NHL in some way and left me 4 tickets for my family.
Special thanks to Andre Mika from the NHL for doing this. I’ll take pictures and let you guys know how it goes on Thursday night.
Brendan was so excited…he started crying. I’m excited for him. This is going to be fun.
Anyways. Thanks for sharing these moments with us. I know with us being sick for the last month…we needed some fun news. So here it is.
Hope you have a great day…
Scott
good for you scott!! have fun at the hockey game! remember to dress warm though. Hockey rinks get very cold. XD. and i don’t think nicole is willing to go any farther with this whole cherade…
Hey, what’s wrong with wanting a pony??? 😉
Hehe, smooth, Danny boy, smooooooth
I’m still cracking up over the pony thing. I have renewed laughs! :rofl:
lol the wrath of Nicole
Haha, way to go Dan xD
How adorable about your son! Hope you have fun =]
Eeeeeew, Penguin! >< Even worse, it’s Crosby. I lost what little respect I had for him after the two “fights” he’s been in lately. Punching someone in the nuts who’s being held down by another player and then later jumping someone right off the faceoff? Yea, no thanks. (And I hope your son missed those…)
As a Caps fan, I already disliked the team, but how the fans I’ve talked to have supported his actions…well, maybe you’re an exception to what I’ve taken to be general Pens fans.
Also, January 14th, prepare to lose. And on February 22nd. March 8th too. 😛
It’s funny…. Dan seems to be the button pusher of the cast. He’s done the same thing with Alex too. I do know he’s really trying to help… and Nicole has given him good reason for acting this way. At the same time, she’s had a rough day where her neat and tidy world has fallen apart around her. This’ll be interesting as to where it leads.
Also, woo to hockey! Hope you have a great time at the game! I keep meaning to go see our team play, but have not made it yet.
Hope you have lots of fun. I also think Dan is being mean, despite everything. I admit I would probably do the same, but all the same mean.
I love how everything goes flying off the desk!
Well… is it just me, or are her legs looking kind of swollen in the last panel? o.o
Anyway, great comic, I am reading it for… well… actually, I forgot, but I think it is great ^^
Thanks all…
We’re very excited and hope to have a good time.
And yes…Dan’s being a little mean. But I think he’s not being cruel. Just giving Nicole a bit of what she needs.
And Akira. For shame. You’re an Capitals fan? ooooh.
🙂
Being from San Jose, NY, L.A., and now here in Nashville….it’s tough for us to have a favorite team.
So I think we’re just enjoying hockey in general right now.
No favs…yet.
That’s great to hear, Scott! I can almost see the tears in your son’s eyes… I have kids of my own so I can relate to similar moments with them…
Have a super time!
I never wanted a pony… ^^;
Me neither
Boy, he knows exactly which buttons to push, doesn’t he?
Very cool, I hope your boy’s hockey experience is everything it should be.
AACK! Button pusher! XP
Okay, really appropriate for the situation, but still… AACK!
I think thoose two are going to “accidentally” kiss and the only one of them is going to notice he/she likes the other one…
Scott, I now love your son. PENGUIN POWER, BABY! (Not that I had anything against him before, of course…) Of course, for me it was Mario Lemeiux, but I know how he feels.
Sadly, I wasn’t able to get tickets for their appearance here in Denver this weekend. So I’ll just have to enjoy it vicariously through you and your son!
🙂
Thanks guys.
a weird kinda bonding moment between those two I see going on.
Oh yeah, p.s. Gooooo, Pens! I grew up in Pittsburgh. The back to back Stanley Cups was *awesome*!
Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention…IT’S A CENTAUR, NOT A PONY, FUZZBRAIN!
Yay Pens!! I miss them… 🙁 I’m glad they still have the throw-back jerseys. I like those better…
…and go Dan! I’d have done the same thing!!
LOL Dan sure walks that fine line of being a jerk, doesn’t he? Enjoy your hockey game, Scott, and I hope Crosby behaves himself for your son’s sake.
Have fun. 😀 I live in Nashville, and I didn’t even know there was a predators game coming up. lol.
and my gosh.. those two make a cute couple.
Dan’s gonna get a book upside the head if he doesn’t watch out XD
I’d react the same as Nicole. Of COURSE I wanted a pony, who didn’t? Stop ribbing.
@Scott – Oh. Well in that case…hockey for hockey is good. 😛
I bet they’d still be able to bribe Nicole with a pony…
