Doogie's first hockey game!

We took Doogie to her first hockey game tonight! She made it through the first two periods, and we left before the start of the third. It just got too late and was too much for her to handle.

She did incredibly well, though. And despite our rooting for the Rangers, the 'Canes pulled off another victory, with me as their good luck charm, yet again! I swear, they should GIVE me season tickets, they've never lost a game I've been to, including the one where they won the Stanley Cup!

I think she is a hockey fan because she was one before we even knew she existed. That's when I spent four hours on my feet at Game 7, and had the most incredible time. It was one of the highlights of my sporting event history! Go figure ... all of the baseball games I've been to, and this is the game that I can't believe I witnessed?

Makes sense that I bought myself a REDNECK HOCKEY t-shirt that season (spring 2006) since, after all, I'm turning into one of these Southern fans. It was hard to root against Cam Ward, but the Rangers are my home team. I first met them when I went to the parade back in '94, so that was a little bit of sports history, as well.

Anyway, I'll try to post a picture or two of Doogie from tonight, but for now, I'm headed to bed!

G-night, all! (Is anyone actually out there?)
