5-3 wins keeping EIGHT YEARS ALIVE! CHINESE ERIC IS AWESOME!

Chinese Eric finally came by after it was 1-1 already in the game, saying that since there was a car accident and he was near a McDonalds anyway, he decided to get a burger / fries / McNuggets with BBQ sauce. I offered bottled water, Ferrero Rocher, Dutch biscuits, shortbread swirls, and chips. We discussed TV delays, Jon / Harmony moving, seeing Nathan, Ciel being in town at some point (maybe?), white Eric, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 4, BATMAN, kids, the convenience of looking things up on the Internet (like what time Richmond Centre closed tonight - hanging out there!), KFC, Walmart, MissionsFest (and the booklet), yesterday's potluck, the Jets, my family / parents, Silvercity Riverport movie showtimes, how things were different than last year, video games, curling, and more. Decided to open that mysterious Illinois Christmas card I got a few days ago - for some reason, I felt safer now that Eric was around, haha. It turned out to be from Steve and Carol - WOW! The Canucks also won 5-3, so that was a GOOD THING! THE EIGHT-YEAR WIN STREAK IS ALIVE AND WELL!
