Road Hockey and The Met
Two weeks ago, I had the joy of getting decked out in a new dress, pair of heels, pearls and purse in hand to go to the Opera. I stood there outside the met by the fountain waiting of course for my friend who had received tickets.. it was so much fun to be out on a friday night and a beautiful one indeed..waiting for the opera..having a glass of Champagne..and feeling beautiful. This Saturday I will dress up in another kind of outfit. The road hockey gear! I have challenged my nephews to a game of road hockey. “You two (9 years and almost 6 years) and ALL your friends in the hood against YOUR DAD AND I!! I am actually looking forward to purchasing my hockey stick and taping it up..I will get one with a slight curve..for right handed road hockey players like myself. As a kid, I LOVED this game. Despite being Canadian and having grown up in Ottawa, I still sadly make for comic relief as a skater…I will do it if I must..but I look really funny and frankly suck just enough to not really enjoy it either. Needless to say, I never got to far at ice hockey! (Although, when I was about 7 years old, I was borrowed because a team in my neighbourhood was going to default. they suited me up and stuck me in the net as goalie and said, “Just try and keep the puck out!”) But road hockey my friend….well that is about as fun as playing Little Black Box LIVE on stage 
So boys beware, aunt deb is on her way, and you kids are going to LOSE!!
Peace and Pucks, A Deb
