My Favorite Things: Part 4

Well, after last night, I know that hockey (NHL specifically) is NOT one of my favorite things.  We went to a Sharks vs Stars game here in Dallas thanks to a nice discount from the graduate school.  I had never been to any sort of hockey game, so I thought I'd try it.  Let's just say their fake (read: staged) 'fight' set me off.  I think I said at least 5 times that I could not IMAGINE bringing my (nonexistant) kids to a hockey game.  Between the 'fighting' and 'cheerleaders,' I was unimpressed with the whole culture of hockey.  Bad bad bad.  But the Stars did win and I now understand the rules of the game a bit better (thanks John).



Now for one of my actual favorite things: BASEBALL!  I was certainly a late baseball bloomer... the summer after my first or second year in high school I started watching Twins games on TV with my dad.  I have a pretty hard time sitting still and keeping my mouth shut in most situations, and I think I drove my dad crazy between the hours of 7 and 9 each night with my endless clarification questions and what-ifs.  Anywho, I am so excited spring training has started and baseball is here!  I made it to only one Rangers game last year, but I'm hoping to expand my presence at the ballpark this summer.

Twins vs Cardinals Summer 2009.  I think it was 110 degrees at Busch Stadium this day!
