Hockey Town


My last post was on Saturday afternoon, so I'll catch you up on the action since then. Sunday was a typical day at church. I spent the afternoon attending a student's baseball game. Then Sunday night I went to a college age/graduating high school seniors SNAC at the Schnepper's house. We ate food and played football and some people went swimming.

After the SNAC I went with a few friends to a karaoke night at a local restaurant. I felt like William Hung in the midst of American Idol's top 12 because there were some mighty fine singers in the house that night.

Monday night I was at the office all day and then attended an elders' meeting at night.

Tuesday night I went with some guys down to Hockey Town Cafe (see above picture) to watch game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals out on the patio.

[Evidently there is some level of historic significance to this
zamboni machine that I was not, and am still not, aware of.]

We arrived at Hockey Town at 6:00 for the 8:00 game. We still ended up sitting near the back but we definitely had better seats than these people [people were lined up four levels high during game time]:


According to an article I read, for those who didn't arrive as early as we did, there was an hour and a half wait to get in and a line that stretched down the block of people hoping to get a seat! Some people even tried hopping the fence and/or climbing through the dense wall of shrubbery trying to get in. Security, for the most part, was on the ball and more or less gently escorted the late arrivals back outside the venue.

[As you can see, the crowd outside was pretty dense.]

[Devin had the "brilliant idea" of using the free pom-poms
as a wig. You just can't take the O.G. out of an O.G. though.]

Oh ya, and the Wings lost 2-1. Game 7 Friday night. Go Wings.

Yesterday was a typical Wednesday: office during the day, KFC for dinner, and Oasis at 7. For the summer there is a college student doing the speaking so I no longer have that responsibility on my metaphorical plate.

Tonight I have a missions team meeting at 7. Then I'll go home and go to bed. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. Probably laundry and the beginning stages of packing for Lake Ann.
