Early Sunday morning, even though we lost, I have to admit, that was the most thrilling, intense hockey game I’ve ever seen. Funny, as soon as the game ended, We went to do some grocery shopping and the stores were packed like pre-Christmas shopping. You could tell everyone else did what WE did and stayed at home till the game ended. I had one friend who didn’t pay any attention to the games and was amazed at how empty the stores were when he went earlier.
Anyway, that’s a wrap on winter Olympics till we tune in, in 2030 to cheer on Team Canada in the French Alps…. Go Canada, Go!
