The Aftermath of a Great Thing

After almost a week, the Heritage Classic Hockey event is still the talk of the town. Just glancing through the Edmonton Sun last night I noticed many articles about how this thing has touched lives all around the world. So, it was obviously a good thing to chance, and of course now everybody is trying to figure out how to make it an annual event. Trust someone to try and wreck a good thing! Many people have remaked that it was the cold weather that really made the day magical, in a rather obscure and bizarre way. Probably true. We Edmontonians must have looked a sight to some of the warmer climes as we sat there for nine hours freezing while a bunch a guys played hockey. I happened to drive by Commonwealth stadium this morning where they are still dismantling the rink and various other accoutrements. It has been suprisingly mild all week making most people wish the hockey games were this weekend.
Had my six month checkup with my urologist this morning and everything looks great with not a trace of any suspicious activity down there. It's hard to believe it's been six months since the surgery already.
