in Kingston, Nov. 27

Bus waiting in the pre-dawn to take Dorothy, Carylanne and other ladies to Toronto
It seemed from the name that I should have gone but I had other plans.
Our adventures began early today.  We were up before 5:00 AM (3:00 AM Alberta time).  Carylanne and her friends had chartered a bus and organized a ladies shopping trip to Toronto.  There is a show there called "One of a kind" which seems along the lines of the pre-Christmas craft show at the Butterdome.  There would be time for a mall or two as well.  Dorothy was invited and had to be at Carylanne's by 6:45 AM.  It would give her a chance to get out and do some traveling :).  They would have a champagne breakfast on the bus, etc. 

Meanwhile, I was to be at the K-Rock Centre (formerly, the Memorial Centre) to watch Brayden in a hockey game that started at 7:00 AM.  Paul arranged ice-side seating for me, and Brayden played well and had fun.  After the game, Paul arranged for me to visit in the dressing room of Brayden's team - the Fort Henry Wings.
