Okay, I got that out of the way. Last week I went to my first Pittsburgh Penguin hockey game. My oldest daughter moved to Pittsburgh 8 years ago and my youngest (2 daughters) moved there later. I have been following the Penguins since they moved there, and for 8 years I have "meant" to go to a game. Part of the problem is that during the week does not work, I can't get to Friday games from Rochester by 7, and if I go to a Saturday game I would get back to Rochester at 4 am. I have Sunday church obligations, so that wouldn't work. For the last 4 seasons, the Penguins have been playing "away" during February vacation and the regular season is over during Spring vacation. (Still awake?).
Well, in any case, I had some Friday business that I needed to take care of, so I took a personal day and then went to Pittsburgh. Oh what excitement! We lost in overtime, but I didn't care. It was exciting and I got to see Sydney Crosby (he is famous for hockey fans, kind of like the Mona Lisa for art fans, which is a reference to a previous blog). Are you keeping up? I took my son-in-law and nephew and it was awesome.
The next day I was able to participate in our web discussion (while holding a beautiful and well-behaved granddaughter). A short trip, but memorable.
