Checked off the List

I have a running list of things I want to do during my life. Some are serious, like travel to all 7 continents (yes, Antarctica), or to know that I have helped to make someone's life better, or to read everything Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf ever wrote. Others are a little more silly and trivial. Like to go to at least one event in every major professional sporting league. Tonight I made it to my first professional hockey game. I think I like hockey. :)

I had the lovely company of my roommate (Amanda), Carissa, and a new friend Stephanie (because I need more Stephanies in my life)... and the 4 rather drunk guys behind us. They were pretty funny. The game was decent, though the Wolves did lose 6-4, after gaining a 3-1 lead in the first period. What makes it all even better are the free tickets for seats that were really good. Right near center ice opposite the team benches, 4 rows from the ice itself. Remind me of this when I say that my job has no perks. Thanks Elk Grove Graphics!
