The weater outside WAS frightful..

...woh what a mess.  Yes, it's December... in the Northern hemisphere... it's supposed to be messy... but all i have to say is.... SHEESH... mess on friday... i had a hockey game to get to (front row, do you THINK we are not going to even try??) ... mess on sunday.. i had a play to get to (okay a musical but let's be reasonable here you wouldn't want to not try!!)... and i got to both.  roads were deceiving but messy... traffic was deceiving and messy... but sat my ample behind in my seat in both cases in plenty of time.  

There is no way to describe how amazing it was to sit in the front row at a hockey game - to rest your feet against the boards - to have them come crunching back at you as people crash into it.. to watch a goal go in under a goalie's feet without so much as a long lens on your camera... woh it was superb.  The boys played the Ottowa Senators... some good players to watch.  But the boys prevailed 5 to 1...

the view from in front of me...

sunday was NYC and Patti Lupone in Gypsy.

..with a little supper in the "shop" next door...snow and sleet and freezing rain.. or was that just freezing at the end of the day...

I have miles to go before i can sleep, but it was fun whilst it lasted....

not a whit of knitting content here - because i knit only socks for soldiers right now to try to keep my hands moving at night.  otherwise things have halted....

and is there a quote?  well there could be... or a paraphrase of one....

be kind to one another.... SHINE!
