I love being a Regular in a place. It feels nice to walk in and have everyone know your name. OK maybe knowing one's name is overrated, but a nice smile is good (and knowing your order before you can say it!!!) is even better!
In thinking back I guess I was already a Regular here at Trivia. It is great to converse with H and have some nice witty banter. B is always fun as well, and can always be counted on to get us giggling! It really adds to a great evening.
And I discovered last night ... or rather early this morning ... that I am a Regular at another establishment ... Jack's Pizza!!! If it is wrong to have the man know to have your Veggie Pizza with a tin foil covering on it ready to go by the time you get to the front of the line, well then, I don't want to be right!! So sweet last night to cap the night off with an awesome slice of Jack's, and the touching gesture that someone remembers your order!!
(Or maybe I just have had too many slices there!!)

Win again at Trivia
I really love Thursday nights. So much fun to play some trivia with Team One is the Loneliest Number.
We have had some great times, and amassed more money in Capital gift cards than we can probably ever go through (but we will try!) I don't think I have paid for a drink with my own money since Feb of last year!
With the exception of one (maybe two??) nights we have not placed in the money. I shouldn't strike this item from the Bucket List too soon, as I do hope to continue the trend!
But since there was only one Trivia night that fell on Halloween, I can take "Dress Up and Play Trivia" off the Bucket List!

Visit Magnetic Hill
Since I stopped to see the Rocks on the way to Hali, I thought I had better see something interesting on the way back.
Passing through Moncton I have often seen the sign for Magnetic Hill. We have one near my family in the Ottawa Valley, so I was curious to see what this one was like. I seem to luck out with so many of the sites out here as they are often closed for the season - which means there are no crowds, and they are free.
Magnetic Hill was well worth the stop!! I am sure the hill did not have the power to pull my car up the hill (optical illusion perhaps?!?) but it did make me giggle. An actual out-loud giggle to myself.
Don't need to return to the water park when the season is back on (well unless someone wants to go with me - going alone to Magnetic Hill was one thing, but not sure I want a full day at the park by myself!)

See Hopewell Rocks
En route to Halifax a couple weeks ago I decided to make a small detour (small ... well a couple hour detour) to see the Hopewell Rocks. I have always wanted to see the large tidal change, and this seemed like the best time to do it!!
It was very cool. I showed up just after the park officially closed, but a lady at the front said I could go in for free - but just be warned it was closed. I ran like someone out of a scary movie through the woods only to reach the Flower Pot area to be surrounded by people. It was so peaceful and you could certainly see the tidal change. A very beautiful sight.
I had been texting with a friend and he laughed when I said I stopped my drive to watch the tide come in. I should have laughed back ... it isn't often enough that we take the time to stop and watch nature.

Great minds think alike
Although "show up to a concert dressed as your friend" was not on the original list, I would hereby like to add it.
Awesome Joel Paskett show standing in the horse manure at the FrEx.
Even better ... having Joel Paskett purposely "photo bomb" you at the end!!!

Harvest Jazz and Blues 2013
I really love this festival. A great opportunity to see some awesome music. Last year I was lucky enough to have the whole family come visit for the music, and this year I was lucky to host Ann.
I think the stand out show for me was Michael Franti (though I wanted to hate it with everyone hyping him up so much before) Good dancing, and great times with my mom!

The Roller Derby
You know what ... I have the sneaking suspicion that the Roller Derby in Fredericton might just be my personal version of Poke-a-roo. I cannot seen to actually go see a match.
So to my delight and surprise, I got to see some practice activities at this year's Harvest. In the off chance/the most likely chance that I will not get to see them .... roll, I am counting this one off the list! Close enough ...
