Friendly Wager

Obama owes Harper a few brews after Canada takes U.S. in Olympic hockey

VANCOUVER, B.C. - It seems U.S. President Barack Obama owes Prime Minister Stephen Harper a few cold ones.

The two leaders had a friendly bet on the outcome of Sunday's gold-medal Olympic hockey game.

Team Canada came out on top, so Obama will have to pick up a 24-pack of Molson Canadian for the prime minister. Harper would have had to buy Obama a case of Yuengling beer if the U.S. had taken the top honour at the tournament.

Team USA beat Team Canada in the first match-up between the two countries in the preliminary rounds, but Canada came out on top in a heart-stopping overtime round on Sunday.

Harper was at the game in Vancouver but Obama did not make an appearance at the Olympics.

The prime minister met with the gold medal winners in the locker room after the game to congratulate them.

Mafia Wars: Bangkok

Well, I have not written as much about mafia Wars as I would have liked, but here is some news. I tried out the beta version of the Bangkok expansion and it's not bad. A little incomplete for now but good.

I am currently close to finishing the Cuba expansion about 5 weeks after finishing New York. I will move on to Bangkok and Moscow next week.

Weekend Movies

My wife and I had the chance this past weekend to watch both Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Star Trek. While the FF movie was good, it was not as good as the first one. Star Trek was a great once again to watch. I am disappointed in the lack of deleted scenes on the 1-disc DVD version. I am looking forward to seeing the Blu-Ray version one day...
