Quote Du Jour:
“That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you’re supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.”

Warning: Long-winded post on my love affair with Hockey

Thank the maker, Hockey is Back. I thought I would go mad if it didn’t return this season. Because there’s just something about big tall hunky men on skates (of COURSE I watch it for the men.. DUH.. I am female? LOL But I also love love love the game).

I hate to admit this, but I got hooked on hockey because of my ex-boyfriend. I was between husbands at the time (yes…this is my second marriage…long story), and he had lived up north and played (I forget where. I want to say in the New York area, but I can’t recall…he was one of those ex’s I try very hard to never think about…). Anyhoo… he didn’t play professionally or anything, just amateur-for-fun hockey and so he was really really into the game. Well, I live in Texas and there ain’t no hockey down here. Until the Minnesota Northstars moved down here and became the Dallas Stars in the early 90s. We could go to the games for as little as $30 a ticket (of course, now they are too expensive to even consider, damn it all). So he would drag me to the games which – if you live in Dallas and remember – were in the crappy Reunion Arena with the horrible uncomfortable seats. Who wants to sit there for three hours? Who cares? And beer was $10 for a cup that was half foam.
