My last Red game of the season was last night. Dana put me on wing with two other solid skaters. We had about a million shots on goal but only one goal, not enough to eek out a win, losing 2-1. I realized some things:

• My new skates are great but still not fully broken in. It may be time to wear my shinguards outside my skates like Canadians do.
• I like playing forward and one day soon could be a decent center since I already know how to play defense.
• Even if I make Maroon, it's better for me to stay in Red for another season. If I go to Maroon now, I'll be sure to be stuck playing D and may never get a chance to play anything else. I'm still going to the tryout but will be a Red playa once again, this time hopefully with my friends Leslie and JeneRae on my team.

Despite the loss, I had a great time and can't wait for the season to start again! Andrea came along, now upgrade from wheeling to hobbling on crutches. It's so great to see her on her feet again, even if the wound itself is U-G-L-Y, it ain't got no alibi, it's UGLY! I was so happy to see her foot this morning, I couldn't help but give it a kiss. Her new title around the house is "Two Footed Mommy".
