numbers Tuesday is dropping it like it's hot...

with the # 258 and the return of FLAMES hockey

I won tickets for tonight's first pre-season game from a local radio station

not the prize I was going for which was for lower bowl tickets

and a chance to win seats on the Flames charter flight to Saskatoon

which in retrospect was probably a good thing for the Flames

as I am sure I would have talked their ears off and

been a "titch" of a fan-arazzi.

I may not have won that but I

still got 2 tickets (2nd balcony/end of the rink),

took an Oilers fan with me (Lawrence my brother in law)

& we had a great time

We may have lost (4-1) and looked rough at times

but I was just so happy to be back

and I'm more than ready to get this season going

now I know I have lost 99% of my readers

as soon as they saw the word "FLAMES"

but for you that stuck it out to the end,

thanks and you can look forward to a few more

Flames postings - hopefully it will be a very long season.
