What a weekend!
First we have dim sum with Andrea's dad, who is visiting from New Jersey as well as her Auntie Bessie and Uncle Nansing, all of whom are fabulous. When Andrea tried to wrestle her dad for the bill, he grabbed it and gave the lin eof the century:

You forget, I have Kung Fu!

Amy wished that our dads had Kung Fu. I do, too!

Saturday night, I had a hockey game and was looking forward to sporting my new acrylic face shield. I didn't think about the fog factor, nor did I bring my trusty rusty old cage, that does not fog. I had to play very very short shifts, trying not to get all heated up so I could keep the fog to a minimum. That was hell, I'm never using that goddamned face shield again.

Sunday I was back to the cage on my helmet for the Green/Red challenge in my women's league. I play Green, the lowest level, and Red is one level up. Even though I regularly play against people who skate Red and Maroon (2 levels up from Green) I was nervous as hell, but could see clearly. My posse had turned out in full effect, thanks to Amy (who knitted while cheering), Chris, Anne, Thomas and my most loyal athletic supporter, Andrea, for making the trip to cheer for my ass. We played hard and managed to emerge from the challenge with a 3-3 tie. Not bad, not bad!
