Have you ever noticed that people in North America don’t enunciate their t’s all the time? Maybe it’s just me, but when I hear the words “better” or “latter” or “router” the “t” sound is transformed to a “d” sound. I guess that’s one of those things that’s probably more localized than I think - I’m sure there are lots of places where people enunciate their t’s in all instances. It does kind of get me wondering though - when did that happen? I’m pretty sure that English speakers from other parts of the world (you know, the ones with the English accent?) enunciate their t’s a lot more than we do. That’s not to say that either one is correct, just that as a Canadian, I’ve kind of sanded the corners off of my language somewhat.

So, now that I’ve gotten that off my chest…The weekend was good. Erin’s grandparent’s came into town for the Tai Chi opening thing (as mentioned last week) It was good to see them, though only for brief periods. Saturday afternoon, while I had the house to myself, I played some online poker (free - not for money, I’m not a masochist.) It was kind of fun, even though everyone just raises their fake money regardless of how good their hand is. I played at Ultimate Bet. After I was done that, I headed across town to go skating with Jason, Amy and Mya. We didn’t stay out too long, but it was good to get out on the ice. It’s been far too long since I last strapped the blades on. I wonder if that’s somewhat responsible for Jason being home from work with his back acting up.

Oh, and I can’t shoot left handed. Thought I’d throw that out there. I don’t have much of a right handed shot either, but at least I don’t fall over in the attempt.
