From St Albans VT - where DD had a hockey tourney. We drove up after school on Thursday, had a good meal with several lovely drinks called "Goombay Smashes" and hit the sack after the pool. It is a good three hour drive, made quite interesting by Route 89 being completely dark for long stretches
- no road lights, no cars and no houses. Occasionally, a car would appear on my right traveling on the old access road. That was scary the first time.
Games were close, but E's team mates aren't used to physical play. Thank heavens, E is, because she could at least get some payback for her smaller teammates. Some of the these 12 yo's were my height (5'8") or taller; I'd put average height around 4'9". E scored the only Hurricanes' goal of the weekend, tying the game. That one goal is the reason the team made it to the semifinals. In the next game, she received the "Heart and Hustle" Award. In the semifinal, of the 5 shots on net, she had 3 of them.
Lets see - some knitting done, about 10 stitches in little cardinal challenge I'm doing with a birding buddy. Broke on of my bamboo needles, sigh, hoping Elmers will do the trick other wise I'm going to replace them. No reading except menus. Killed one bottle of single malt with the Dads. Didn't spend out the cash, have a little more collecting to do for the game photos - professionally taken. There are post goal photos but not the goal.
Glad to be home though.
