It turns out you can only spit in the eye of fate so many times before you get bitch-slapped back to reality.  My hockey team lost our tournament this weekend, so we do not get to travel to exotic locations to continue our miracle run.  We can take some pride in knowing that we really had no business going this far into the season anyways.  We also lost half our team for this tournament, including two of our top three scorers!  I managed to injure myself further, adding a slightly sprained ankle to my already messed up wrist.  Despite that, it was still a lot of fun.  We ended up getting full value for our season by playing 5 “free” games, getting $350 in bar money and some snazzy pullovers that let the world know we are champions.  We had a 4 hour break between games on Saturday, so we took the opportunity to have a little BBQ at my house.  The funny thing was that we had to air out our equipment and I sure as hell wasn’t going to let the guys stink up my house.  The solution was to stink up the neighborhood by stringing the equipment out in the backyard.  I think we dropped the property values in the area by a solid 15% that day!  Here is one of the shots I took from the deck.
