Hockey Time

Took Ryan to the hockey game on Saturday night. He's become my hockey buddy, since Karsyn seems to have lost interest in attending games, and Sonya would rather spend her free time anywhere except a hockey rink. He's actually a pretty good person to take to the games, since:

a) I can keep him occupied with a simplecotton candy

and

b) he actually watches the game (unlike his sister, who spent most of the game tracking down the cotton candy vendor).

His favorite players are "Joe Forton & Jonafan Cheechoo". We had hoofed it up to our seats on Saturday night (last row in teh upeer deck), when a guy in one of the luxury boxes behind our seats flagged me down. He had apair of tickets in the lower bowl at the blueline that he wasn't using and asked me if I'd like to have them.

He obviously picked me out of the crowd because I had a little kid with me, but I thought the gesture was very nice. I accepted them , so Ry and I spent the entire game sitting in the lower bowl in great seats. The Sharks lost in the shootout, but it was still cool to catch a game so close to teh action.
