November 5:  Anaheim, CA
Pittsburgh Penguins vs Anaheim Ducks
Honda Center

What a great time to come to Disneyland.  Hardly a line to be seen.  And what a great time to come for Ben & I, he's ready for some roller coasters.  Ben isn't a huge theme park guy, nor is he a thrill ride fan.  I was really proud of him for stepping up and hitting the big guys with me:  Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain.  Add in Pirates, Buzz Lightyear, Jungle Cruise, a sunny day, we had a great time.

Ben got a chance to take a picture with Goofy.  He's the one on the left, next to Pluto.

After a fun day at the park, we're onto I-5.  Los Angeles.  Yuck.  You can tell this basin is, maybe "was", a beautiful place.  I guess that's why so many people moved here.  Way too many people.  Lots of freeways, lots of traffic, lots of concrete.

Los Angeles, I'm Yours.  I agree with you Colin Meloy.  Strange thing we saw:  Taco King

.We're at the Honda Center tonight.  We have tremendous seats.  The center line splits the J-Boys.

We are excited to see the world's best hockey player, Sidney Crosby.  We went into this one thinking we would finally see a road team win.  Pittsburgh is one of the league's top teams, and Anaheim...well, they like to fight.

No "Limelight".  Damn you LA.

Sidney Crosby is "all that".  You can tell he's a step quicker, a notch sharper, than everyone else on the ice.  He scores both of his teams goals, the second one a sweet backhanded shot off of what Ben likes to call a "juicy rebound".

But he's not as good as Anaheim's goalie Jonas Hiller, who kept the Penguins off the scoreboard for most of this game. Ben really enjoyed watching his performance, we thought he was the player of the game.

To sleep.  We have another big day tomorrow.
