Oh what a night . . .

DH and I went to the local NHL (Predators) hockey game last night. We have season tickets for half the games. The first intermission last night was one we'll never forget.

It is quite normal to have fans down on the ice for all sorts of fun & silly competitions, so last night, it was a man who was to try to hit three pucks into a tended goal for some sort of fun prize. After he was done, the emcee went over with microphone, asked the fellow about his wife who is in the military serving in Afghanistan for the past year, he must miss her a lot, how she had been nominated for a Bronze Star, etc. We knew what was coming, how could one not know, but what surprised us all was when the goalie took off his ... er... HER face mask and it was his wife! DH and I don't think there was a dry eye in the arena.

Next, there is always live music entertainment (this is "Music City") during the intermission between periods, and the band last night were semi-regulars and favorites of ours. But, they introduced Vince Gill who was playing guitar with them, and he sang a song. Meh... I'm not a Vince fan but it was still nice. Then .... they introduced yet another guest ... Alice Cooper. Oh my, now they had my attention. (LOL) He sang a country song (if you can imagine that) and then he sang his "School's Out" hit.

To make it even better, the game was a 3-0 shut-out against Detroit Red Wings, this after a 4-game losing streak.

Warm weather today, but this too shall pass. Ugh.... Now when the weather forecast says chance of snow, I don't even blink and say "bring it on." No big deal anymore,,,, we are used to it by now. ;o)

Stay warm, dry, healthy and drive safely on the snow & ice.
