Margarit and I went out last night to a house party to celebrate my friend Rob's birthday. We had our niece Bethany over to babysit the girls, and were looking forward to a rare evening out. It was a great evening and we really enjoyed the visit. I know Rob is not really a night-owl and he was probably anxious for us to get the hell out of his house.... We eventually did, but not until around midnight. It was later than I expected as I had to get up early on Sunday for a hockey game. Running on about four hours sleep I dragged my old carcass out of bed at around 5:30AM. I was at the rink on the north side of the city by 6:30AM. We played a game against the Ice Hawks and I was surprised that almost all of our regular guys made it... though some were a little green in the gills... We had a backup up goaltender, a friend of one of our spares. He plays ball hockey on a regular basis, but had not been on skates for several years. He was more than a little shaky, but did a great job for us. He was pretty flexible and athletic so even though his skating skills were a little rusty, he made some great saves. It was a pretty close game but we ended up on the right side of a 9-7 final score. This solidifies our hold on first place as we approach the half way point of the 30 game regular season.
