Thank you for viewing and thank you to my wife. You did an excellent job finishing those Half Marathons!

Last night I was fortunate enough to score Blues Tickets, but it gets better. The seats were against the ice on the corner next to the cameraman in the zone where the Blues attack twice.

So My friend Mike and I were enjoying the wonderful seats in the second period as the score was 1 - 0 (Blues) and he offered to get us some Beers, but he really wanted to get some Roasted Nuts. (That will be a different post). After a few minutes of him being gone, the puck comes into the zone, shoots way up into the net, and falls behind the glass.

Now, the puck lands between the Camera Man and me, or exactly where Mike was sitting. It then bounces and few times and rolls to the Camera mans feet. He just looked at me as if saying...well, when are you going to get this thing! I then heard a stampede of footsteps. Quick thinking I drop to my knees and lunge to my left and slam my hand on the puck. No challenges because Blues fans rock and are respectful.

So as Mike walked down to the seats, I had it sitting on my knee. He was disappointed, kind of. He always has Dickey Barret calling him on stage to dance to the Mighty, Mighty Bosstones while I meanwhile was blocked by security.
Oh and Blues lost 4-1 giving up all 4 goals in the 3rd. We'll get there eventually.

Welcome.....snakes?

Welcome all the my blog.

First, and foremost, I encourage you to visit "theshirtgirl" blog page, found under "LINKS". Good stuff their. However, if you would like to continue reading my blog.....I applaud your courage.

I'll start off with my favorite recent story I experienced with my beautiful, pregnant wife.

We are sound asleep at 1 am( I know because I wound up looking). So we were asleep, when suddenly my wife sits up propping herself on her elbow's and breathing very heavily she shrieks, "There is a snake hanging from the ceiling!!!!"

Rather alarmed I awoke and said the first thing that came to mind. "What?!"

She said again "There is a snake hanging from the ceiling". At this moment I crack an eyelid open to look up at the ceiling. In my head I thought ' Crap how am I going to get a snake down? What if this sucker is huge?....Wait there is nothing for the snake to hang from on our ceiling. This concept of a snake hanging is slightly ridiculous and probably false'. So I looked in her direction and calmly reassured her, "It's okay, there are no snakes go back to bed."

She lays back down, and then I say softly "Don't worry, if we did have snakes they would be in your clothes on the floor."

(Thud) I catch an elbow to my side for that "not" so funny joke. But what is funny is we talked about this a few days later and she did not realize anything she said that night. Oddly though, she did remember elbowing me for the clothes comment but couldn't figure out why I was talking about he clothes and snakes. It all makes sense now.....kind of.
