Dave's PhotoJournal for December 22nd

Started off by having breakfast at Aunt Madelyn's and Uncle Stan's house, where I was staying. After that, my parents, my brother and I went by my Aunt Helen's and Uncle Bill's place to hang out for awhile.

Later, met my Uncle Ted and his girlfriend Dorene for dinner, and then we went to see the Chicago Blackhawks play the Los Angeles Kings. Chicago won, 3-1.

Everyone at the breakfast table. From front left (in the red sweater) Aunt Madelyn, Uncle Stan, Susie (behind Stan), Kelly, my brother Chris, my Mom, and my Dad.

Ali, the Boxer.

Ali. They had little antlers on him.

I was showing off some of the little crazy features on my camera, like sepia mode.

Over at Uncle Bill and Aunt Helen's place. They were showing my parents and my brother pictures from the latest disaster they had at their house. (a waterpipe broke when nobody was home)

My cousins Jen and Deanne.

My cousin Alyssa and my uncle Bill.

My dad's Black and Tan at the Crossroads, where we ate dinner before the hockey game.

The sign in the bathroom at the restaurant.

In case you couldn't read it in the last picture...

My parents got my brother and I birthday presents, that they wanted to give us before the game. Problem was, they forgot them at the house, so my cousin Sue had to bring them all the way down to the restaurant.

Compact binoculars, for watching the hockey game.

The United Center, where the Blackhawks play.

The ice, pre-game. You can see the new league-mandated safety netting at the end of the ice closest to me.

Some of the Blackhawks' banners.

Stanley Cup banners.

Pre-game.

Between plays. I forgot to get any action shots.

Another picture of Ali the boxer.
