We finished the round robin of the tournament with a 3-0 record and played the 4th place team. Everyone had said that this was the dirtiest team in the tournament but they were actually pretty clean and did not do that much until the 3rd period. The biggest issue though is that their team had…
Today it was Xavier’s birthday and to celebrate we played two hockey games. He finished the first game with a shutout and after a bit of a shaky start where we were shorthanded 5 on 3 for most of the first and second period he locked it in and shut the other team out making…
Today was a nice relaxing day, where I spent the morning doing work and Mel went for a nice walk wiith Olivier. Afterwards we went to my mother from up the hill’s place. We picked up some sushi from a nearby spot and went for lunch. Lunch consisted of sushi, caeasar salad and hot dogs….

This morning I got up at 6:30 and saw that the brisket was not completely done yet and that it was approaching the proper temperature. At 7:30 Xavier was up and showered and we went outside and moved the roasting pit to the back yard and set it up. We filled it with briquettes and…
