[i was chosen for the constitutional convention!]
I keep waiting until I have the perfect time to write the perfect post to start posting again, and that's worked decidedly unwell for the past month since I resolved to return to what has been the best place for me on the internet. OOPS.
My weekend deserves the epic perfect post treatment, but in lieu of that: I went to two Hurricanes games and celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Stanley Cup win. I got to hug the Cup, and now have photos with it, its Keeper, and its companions Conn Smythe, Selke, and Prince of Wales. I got some autographs from the Cup-winning team. I also learned to never pass up a chance to charge my phone, because while I have good photos of the banners from that season, my battery died while I was in line to have my photo taken with the banners. In this case, I think the lesson is more important. :)
I also had a great opportunity for some Hamilton car karaoke and remembered how much I love highway driving. (Parking, otoh: NOPE.)
Part of the reason I splurged and went was because I have a strong tendency to get in ruts wherein I don't believe that I can have nice things/experiences. I've at least temporarily kicked that notion to the curb. The weekend reminded me not only that prior planning prevents piss-poor performance but that maybe, just maybe, if I allow myself to believe that nice things can happen, there will be room in my life for said nice things.
So, hi. Most of my life right now is foraging for opportunities to enjoy hockey and Hamilton. They are rare but worthwhile. What's up in yours?
