Ventures

Earlier today I said I wasn't sure if we would venture out today because of the weather.

Our first outing was shoveling part of the driveway and then a drive around the block to see what the roads were like.  I do not mind shoveling...when you only have to do it once every decade or so...I do not mind snow either...when you don't have to drive in it....and when it goes away as quickly as it comes...hint, hint little bit of snow that is lurking on the roads and in our yard.

Our second outing was to watch the Carolina Hurricanes versus Chicago Blackhawks.  A few posts ago I mentioned that the Canes were not having a great year.  At the time we were in last place in the league...we are now third from last with the Leafs and Oilers pulling up the rear.  The Blackhawks however are having an amazing year.  They are currently in third place in the entire league...we totally beat them...4-2...yep...third from last schooled the third place team tonight.  What was most fun is that despite the crappy roads...we drove about 35-40 mph out of safety because apparently they forget to plow I-40 today...especially Durham County...anywho...despite the crappy roads over 7000 fans showed up to support the Canes tonight...okay...there were a handful of Blackhawks fans too but still...over 7000 fans!  The best part was that our wonderful seatmates were there as well as some of our other friends. 

Tonight was my last live hockey game until March 4th.  It was a fun way to finish up prior to heading back to Singers for a few weeks.  And...the Winter Olympics are almost here...I just love the Olympics.  I'll be in Singapore for the first week of them so will be interested to see what, if any, coverage they receive.  I'm guessing that Singapore does not have any representation at the winter games.
