^ Nice! I am also attending. Dress warmer than you think you need as sitting outside for 3+ hours in even -5 will get chilly, doubly so if there is even a slight breeze. Also, if you can, bring a piece of foam to put your feet on and hand/foot warmers for your daughter.

Yeah, we'll be dressing up for sure.  My daughter will wear her full snow gear.  I'll be wearing a thick sweater under my coat, and possibly PJ's under my jeans.  Plus we'll bring a blanket to wrap around us.  The wind is supposed to be pretty brutal, and we'll be sitting high up in the stands, quite exposed.

You guys ever use battery heated jackets for that type of thing? I use one for cycling/skiing, and have borrowed it on occasion to co workers seeing late season games here.

^No, but I have thought about heated gloves as my hands are always the first thing to get cold. Its not usually an issue to wear enough clothes to keep core body warm, but tough to layer the hands.

Had a blast at the Western Final.  It sure was a fun game to watch.  Daughter loved every minute of her first Bomber game.  Just before halftime, we went down to the Bomber store to get her some merch.  We'll definitely be going to catch a few games a year from now on, in addition to the Jets and Moose games we always go to.





I'm hoping my daughter wants to continue coming to games with me, even as she goes through her 'teen's.  Something that she can do with her 'old man'.

Jay Leno injured in car fire

Not much details.  Given that it's his face, I'm going to guess they were dicking around with a carbed car trying to get it started and flames came out the top of the carb and scorched him?

Sounds like he'll be just fine though...

Well at least he didn’t make his living off his good looks.  But seriously I hope he is okay and back tinkering with cars soon.

So he's working on a fuel line and there's an "open spark" nearby??  Not terribly bright IMO.

There MUST be more to the story!!

Twitter is going through some things. ::)

What do you think of theory that Elon bought it to burn it to the ground and take a huge loss so he doesn't have to pay his unpaid taxes?

Nonsense.
