The Canucks won 7-2 over the Flames tonight, and Mason Raymond had his second career hat trick! Called the number that Eric had given me earlier, only to have his mom answer! I knew he was at dinner (with Fay), but that was all I said - I certainly wasn't going to say that we had tentative hangout plans for later, if they ended up materializing! She said that he'd wait for the Christmas promotions to get a cell phone; hahaha, makes sense! He's usually good about calling when he can't make it to stuff, but this is a special set of circumstances if he doesn't want his mom to know, haha!

Trivia fact for Thursday, Dec. 2: Why is the tallest of the nine candles on a Hanukkah menorah known as the shamash, which means "servant" in Hebrew? Because its flame is lit first and used to light the other eight candles - one a day during the eight-day Festival of Lights.
