Hockey is in the blood of most
Canadians and suffice it to say not a drop is in mine.... except
watching our son play for the last 7 years!! However, our Canadian
team the Ottawa Senators is in the Stanley Cup playoffs
and I happened to see some playoffs on tv at a pub this week. Being
in Florida seeing hockey on any tv is amazing, there is football (no.
1), then baseball, basketball, golf and even swimming!! Anyways, the
hockey expert in our family, (my dad on Vancouver Island) says Ottawa
really doesn't have a chance! I have to share this with you for the
love of the game:
It's game seven of the
Stanley Cup Finals and a man in the cheap seats sees an empty one at
centre ice. He skulks down and asks if anybody is sitting there. The
woman sitting next to it sighs sadly and says, “My husband was
supposed to be sitting there. We attended every playoff together
since 1987, but he died and this is the first time I've come alone.”
“That's so sad,”
said the man. “Maybe you should've brought a friend or a relative
this time?”
“I couldn't,” she
said. “They all went to the funeral.”
Hope you all have hockey fever up in
Canada and our American friends... I hope you got a laugh with this
joke too... pretend it was football!!
We are leaving St. Augustine tomorrow
for Jacksonville for one night. We are meeting a boating couple we met two years ago for
dinner. Then the next day we drive northward along the coast and
enjoy scenery and sun for awhile. We have been busy beavers putting
Coyaba to “bed” for hurricane season.

Shannon, that was so funny! Well, it's probably as safe to drive home and find sunshine here too, as it will ever be. Southern Ontario has moved into summer mode, but here in Maine, the blossoms are only beginning, and the cold and rain are relentless. Enjoy Florida while you can.
