Today has been a very long day, not in a bad way but in a hungover way. Last night was my friend Justin and his fiance's Stag and Doe. Needless to say there was drinking involved. It was in the upstairs part of the Lambeth legion and there was another Stag and Doe in the basement. The upstairs part had no televisions, therefore Josh and I felt obligated to sneak downstairs to watch the end of the hockey game. I was cheering for Pittsburgh and he was cheering for Detroit, Detroit won and now lead the series 3-1. This means tomorrow night the Red Wings have a chance to win their 11th Stanley Cup, and do so on home ice. Perhaps the Penguins can extend the series a little longer.

I had a lot of fun at the Stag because most of our friends were there. We usually have a good time when all of us are together. I think this has to do with the fact that most of us have known each other for many years. I won a 40 of Rye in the raffle, which wasn't a bad prize. I am a rum drinker, if I drink hard alcohol but Rye would be my second choice. A lot of the guys, myself included, were wearing some sort of plaid shirt, it was pretty funny. At least we didn't have to wear a fanny pack. I also think we might have too much fun with things that others might not find funny. A good sense of humour is definitely necessary around us.

I was up at 7, after going to bed no sooner than 2 but at least I didn't have to play baseball at 8 like some people. Being awake, bored and hungover, I watched a movie called Bertie and Elizabeth. It wasn't that great but was historically interesting. It tells the story of England's King George VI, king during WWII and his wife Queen Elizabeth I (the current Queen's late mother). We follow Bertie's (as he was nicknamed) life before and after becoming King. When his father King George V died, his brother David became King Edward VIII only to abdicate because of his relationship with a married American woman Wallis Simpson. His abdication made Bertie king and his reign is defined by WWII. Queen Elizabeth I is portrayed as a very influential person in the running of England and is often beside her husband when important meetings take place. George VI's health quickly becomes bad following WWII and he died of lung cancer in 1952, at the age of 57. This would make his oldest daughter Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth II and she is now in her 57th year as Queen. A little history for a Sunday afternoon. There is a link below providing information on the movie.

I would take a holiday any place where there is good alcohol, good music and a good girl waiting.
