I'm struggling today.

Today has been a tough day.  I played hockey Thursday, Saturday and yesterday and now I'm paying the price. I'm just really tired and unmotivated.  The up-side is my teams won two of the three games, and I scored two goals, and had an assist.  I'm getting old, and it sucks, but I can't avoid it. I just refuse to give in to it.

Carey went to New Jersey this weekend to see her grandfather as he had a kidney removed. He's doing well, recovering slowly.    She got to eat at a local landmark called "Stuff Yer Face".  Adam Richman of Man Vs Food did part of a show from there earlier in the season. Here is a link to their web site.  We are going back up there at the end of the month for a Devils game, so I hope we get to pay them another visit.

Until tomorrow.

Another big night for number 31!

I played hockey with my team in College Park last night, the Sharks. The College Park league is a mixed league, which means there are high and low level players on each team. Last season I played 20 or so games with this group and I was unable to register a point. No goals, not assists, no nothing. It was a little bit frustrating for me. Last night, in my first game with this group for this winter I broke out big time with two goals. One was a "garbage" rebound goal from about a foot away. The second was a beautiful backhand shot over top of the goalie who had laid out to try and catch a shot off of a nice crossing pass. I haven't been that excited after scoring a goal in quite a while. It make me feel really good to finally contribute to the team. We lost 8-6, but we gave it all we had. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come for my game for the rest of the winter. I think my efforts during the Saturday morning clinics are paying off. I have a game tomorrow, and two more on Sunday, so hopefully I'll have some good results to post. Have a great weekend!
