whaaa happened?

okay, my friday was crappy. i didn't have as much fun at hockey as i normally do, which has nothing to do with the folks there. they are alway great and usually a great pick-me-up, but on friday i just wanted to get home. it took me a while to fall asleep and once i finally did it was quite fitful.

but yesterday (saturday) was better. i went for a walk down by the ocean and went by "dog beach" where i used to spend so much time with Ollie. i even strolled through lighthouse field and that just calmed me - took me back to a time when things in general were much more settled for me, and a time when some of my best friends weren't 450 miles away.

went to hockey at 10:45 (yes, p.m.) and had a blast. i can't say enough how much fun i have playing with this group. sure, it's great to win, but we're there to have fun and that we did. even before the game, Liz told me about some cool news about my buddy Zeus the wonder dog (a.k.a. Steve Holt). we lost 4-3 to the team full o' ringers, but taking that into consideration, we held our own quite nicely. i feel like i played better than i did on friday and i know i was feeling much more clear-headed.
