I've passed the threshold of my third decade and am pushing through with little or no interruption. I'm a designer at a paper in Northern California - formerly of North Carolina, but always Texan by birth. I have a beautiful wife, Sarah and a cat named Bob.

Sharks patrol these waters ...


















err ... this ICE.

Saturday the wife and I walked down to HP Pavilion, home of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, for the second home game of the season (against BC's favorite team nonetheless - the NY Islanders). It was Sarah's first-ever professional hockey game and just my second. Our seats ( you can see the view above ) were about as nose-bleed as you can get. But the action, even from what seemed like a county over, was quick and exciting. At least the action was quick and exciting for most of us. Sarah, a little impatient at 13 minutes and 58 seconds in the first period, said "Would somebody score already?!" And like magic, seven seconds later, the Sharks did. The season-ticket holders that were making fun of her just seconds earlier, invited her (and her Mojo) back to any home game in the near future.

Sharks win. Fun stuff.

Hockey is so much fun in person! And it's the only sport I can actually enjoy even on tv. But as a Stars fan, I think I have to hate the sharks!

Yeah. It's pretty cool live. I'm not a huge fan, but It's not a bad sport to see live.
