Callum and Daniel Janser have signed up for the ProAm and will play in different teams this time around. The HOFer and former Calgary captain will dress for the California Candy Canes, while the NYA back is playing for the Flora Vista Vixens. Marcel could not make it because 'There is a Muskie with my name on it'. It is the first time that Eilidh joins her boyfriend for this event. When CGY gave his dad a lift from the Airport his old man said: 'So you are finally dating the lass?' 

'Yeah I am. Wait, what you mean with 'finally'?'

'Son, the whole clan knew that you are sweet on each other. Duncan ran a book to place bets how long it would take the two of you would realize that.'

'Great and nobody bothered to inform us?'

'Cal, that would be tampering now, would it not? You know how serious the Fergusons take their bets, don't you?'

'Yeah, I guess. I still think it is not right to bet on someone's love life.'

'Weren't you the chap who won the 500 quid jackpot on Annie's divorce?'

'Okay, point well taken. How's mum?'

'She is on tour with her band. So right as rain. I talked to her just last night.'

'How sweet of you old folks to still call on a daily basis.'

'This old feller here will mop the ice with your sorry ass, if you are not careful. I heard you are going to play in the WC together with Mav and auntie Catia?'

'That is right. Looking forward to play with them for a change instead of against them.'

'Yeah, yeah whatever. Remind that sumbitch that he owes me a benjamin.'

'Did he borrow money from you? Does not sound like Moscow-Mav to be honest.'

'Nah, he bet that you would figure out Eilidh's intentions on your own and I told him that there is no way. You are immune to hints of any sorts.'

'That is pretty much what I told her as well. I am as subtle as a sledgehammer.'

'Yeah, but only half as smart.'

'I hate you. Okay, here is your hotel dad. Let's meet at 2000 for dinner. How does Italian sound?'

'A little bit like Spanish but with less guttural sounds.'

'Aren't you a joker. We will go to 'da Nonna's. Best Italian Restaurant on Manhattan Island.'

'Okay sounds good. Have fun kids.'

 

After dropping DJ off at his Hotel, Eilidh and Callum went to the Intrepid museum, where the Swiss Naval Engineer marveled at the solutions the builders of the aircraft carrier came up to accommodate a small town on the waves. He admired their attention to details like the red head which is reserved for sailor with transferable infections on their behind. The logistics necessary to keep thousands of personnel fed, sheltered and clad far away from the next naval base and not making land for weeks or even months and still keeping them fit and healthy. He could certainly learn a thing or two from these clever engineers.
