Random thoughts:
Saturday's last game was really, really, really cool! It was an exhibition for some hockey players with developmentally challenges and with no understanding of what to expect I really enjoyed myself. The players ranged in age from 6 to mid 20's, so the size difference was extremely varied. The skill level was also varied from player to player. The fun factor though was amazing, I have never seen players help an opponent up as often as Saturday. From telling the opposition goalie they made a good save to picking up a dropped glove, the sportsmanship was phenomenal. Coaches were encouraging to both sides, the fans were extremely vocal with their support at both ends of the ice. I don't think I've ever spent a whole hour wearing the stripes smiling as much as I did that day.
That's it for now, I'll put something up tomorrow about the past week's golf activities at GCN.
- Woke up to a white blanket covering everything, what a huge difference from yesterday's bright, sunny and warm day.
- I spent a solid 6 hours golfing with my buddy Mike in Brighton at Timber Ridge GC, caught a few rays, didn't play very well for 27 holes.... but it's still really early.
- Today's weather though... man I find it really hard to get moving, wanted to stay in bed all day or sit in the chair drinking coffee.
- College first semester is almost done, 2 weeks to go, so staying motivated is really crucial, so the white crap isn't helping things.
- I get my Summer timetable Wednesday, started preparing to get a good schedule by researching which courses are available this summer.
- I'm also going to try and compress the schedule to 4 days, this might give me an extra day to work or golf.
- Super busy weekend; 3 games Friday night, worked 4 hours Saturday morning, 4 more games Saturday afternoon, 27 holes as mentioned, 1 more game Sunday afternoon.... no wonder I had a 2 hour nap when I got home from school today.
