1000 apologizes everyone. I missed one day, and this is a daily blog. I know you avid readers out there are pretty cheesed off right now lol just kidding. But I must explain myself. I was basically bed ridden yesterday with the flu, I was only awake for a total of 4 hours between 9:30 am and 10 pm. And when I was awake, I could barely stand up, let alone come up with a topic to blog about.Today I had the opportunity to volunteer and sell 50/50's for Dreams Take Flight at the Oilers game. Dreams Take Flight (DTF) takes sick kids to Disneyland California for a day in May. Awesome charity foundation. I had signed up a few months ago, and being me, I was stoked to go to an Oilers game for free. Only a month ago however did I realize that it was Glen Anderson night, where they retired his jersey. I got to go to an extremely important night. A ton of Edmonton Oilers from the glory days were there: Grant Fuhr, Craig Simpson, Mark Messier, Wayne Gretzky, Kevin Lowe, and of course, Craig Mactavish. Plus, they were wearing the throw-back jerseys and they are always sick.
Anyways, I sold a total of 869 50/50 tickets from before the retirement ceremony to the middle of the second period. The jackpot was $39,014 from a possible $40,000. Thats $10,000 more than any other Oilers game this season. I sold around one of those Mastercard booths and met two very cool girls there.
After tonight, I can say I actually like volunteering. Especially something as easy as selling 50/50's, they sell themselves.
Advice for the day:
