Spring?
Apparently, there are some out there that believe I should post about something besides hockey every once in a while. What you have to realize is that the current sports scene consists of an NCAA tournament that contains only teams that I actively dislike, Cactus League baseall, and NBA basketball, in which the last article I saw was discussion whether or not Kobe is better than MJ (seriously?). So, for now, anyway, hockey is what gets me by.
That said, I realize that it's been a while since I've posted about anything else, so here goes.
It would certainly seem to be graduation time. I know of three close friends that are all graduating from one program or another in the next couple months. Nate, of course, is graduating from FVTC (mad props, Tron). I also have a buddy here in Rochester that is graduating from U of M and another friend that is graduating from nursing school. So congrats to all of 'em. I know that they've all put in a lot of time and effort to get through it and I think it's great.
Of course, with all those folks finishing school, everyone is looking to move. The two friends in Rochester are moving to North Carolina and Oregon, respectively. Who knows where Nate'll end up, but I'm guessing it won't be any closer to me. So, in the end, as happy as I am for everyone to be graduating, I'm going to be dang lonely, pretty soon.
This weekend, of course, was gorgeous. It was a bit rainy on Saturday, but Sunday was great so I was outside to take it in. I got some fertilizer down on the lawn and garden, and tried to clean up the garage a little. In a completely ironic note, however, now that things are warming up, I'm coming down with a cold. Blech. I've gone through about a box of kleenex today, alone.
Last night, I got some guys to come out to my place to play some cards. As we had five people, we obviously had to play sheephead. And, also obvious, I was the only one there that knew how to play. So I should rephrase and say that I spent the bulk of the night trying to teach everyone else how to play sheephead. I just never get to play any more - living in Minnesota will do that to you. Next time they come over to play cards, we're playing sheephead and I'm making them all old-fashioneds. It'll be like being back home.
Anyway, that's what I got going on. And, just because I can't resist putting in a little hockey, this goal, scored by Blake Wheeler in overtime lifted Minnesota over North Dakota in the WCHA championship game. This one'll be remembered for a long time.
