WORKING, WET AND WONDERFUL

ASIDE FROM A SQUISHED-TOGETHER ELEVATOR RIDE OR TWO, MY HOPED-FOR MEETING WITH THE B.C. LIONS CHEERLEADERS WAS NOT WHAT I ANTICIPATED.

So now that we've got that myth out of the way (hey, and didja know, they're called the Felions? Meow, purr....), what was Vancouver really like?

Well, it was a whole bunch of this...

It rained, and rained, and rained...and then it rained some more. Vancouver's a beautiful city, but I did not bring an umbrella. I felt like I was in the Vancouver Aquarium the entire weekend.

But it was also about this...wild fans of the Saskatchewan Roughriders (green, left) and the Lions (red, right) getting together to watch the Lions win the Canadian Football League West Division Final.

The Lions will arrive in my city, Winnipeg, tomorrow along with the Montreal Alouettes for Sunday's CFL championship, the 94th Grey Cup, and I'll be working on that all week for my newspaper.

The weekend was also about a chance to get to meet the beautiful and talented MJ The Infomaniac, but I'll post about that meeting when I get the chance. I did not get the opportunity to meet Andrea of Colouring Outside the Lions. :-(

Right now, I need to dry out, my computer keyboard is wet.
