I was lucky enough to watch part of 2 different hockey games today! *laugh* That's something I never expected to do in Egypt! Thank goodness for the Olympics!

The first was Germany vs. Italy. I saw another thing for the first time – Germany had cheerleaders! Strange...

It also sounds like New York has a new hockey team, at least according to the announcer on the station I was watching (from Dubai). The announcer twice mentioned the New York Icelanders. Seems silly, cut I see how that could come from “Islanders”.

Just a few minutes ago, Slovakia vs. USA finished. I think I was watching it live, so I won't spoil things for anyone by telling the final score. The biggest shock for me while watching that match was to see Chris Chelios on the ice! 44 years old and still going strong, I guess!

Between the 2 hockey games, I drove around Tanta for the first time and then taught 2 classes. A friend of mine had minor surgery on his foot last week, so that makes it tough for him to drive. So...I took him to his doctor's office today to have the dressing changed. I was impressed at how clean the office was. Much better than a hospital I saw last year that was a bit scary!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Now, I'll procede with a completely non-Valentine's themed message. *grin*

--I recently paid my utility bill with you. I thought I'd share the specifics, for any who are interested:

Gas: 40
Water: 53.50
Electric: 80

Now, that's not very helpful for comparison to where you live, until I convert to dollars.

Gas: $8.00
Water: $10.60
Electric: $16.00

Cheaper than what you're paying? *grin*

Oh wait, I forgot one important bit of information -- that's my total bill for the past 6 months.

*smirk*
