Inside the heart of a man...

...lives unending love and loyalty to *insert sport of choice here*. For my DH it's hockey and, more specifically, the Edmonton Oilers. I have never seen such deep devotion and pride. It's humbling really.

This past week began the start of hockey trades. I don't understand a thing about it except that it keeps my husband glued to the computer for hours on end. And when he's not on the computer, he's watching TSN or Sportsnet....while listening to live feed on the Internet! I have had to chuckle at hubby running to the computer every few minutes for the most recent news. And it's updated every 2 to 3 minutes!

He has lived and breathed hockey for the last week. I find it amusing that it has so consumed his mind. We'll be in the van driving somewhere and he starts to mumble about deadlines, possible trades, caps etc. He turns to me and blurts out stats and numbers like I should understand this strange language he's speaking.

For the most part I've managed to subdue the laughter and I try to appear interested. But there have been times when the humour has gotten the best of me. It's just too funny! You would think the love of his life was coming to town he's that excited. But of course, I live with him. LOL! Oh, what passion!

But, I'm hardly one to talk. Nothing is more exciting to me than the release of a long awaited book by a most beloved author! :-) Okay, okay...and chocolate and coffee! I guess everyone has their weaknesses!

A Moment of Silence

A tragedy happened yesterday and I'd like to take a moment of silence in remembrance of Ryan Smyth, once an Oilers icon, now nothing but a sweet memory. Many fans are bidding farewell to this hockey-great and out of love for my husband, a HUGE Oilers fan, I would like to dedicate my blog to him this morning. Honey, I'm sorry for your loss!

Now, I'm not into hockey but I call myself an Oilers fan - it's better for our marriage. LOL! But even I felt a twinge when I heard Ryan Smyth had been traded. (No, it wasn't indigestion) This guy had become so well loved by Oilers fans, myself included. He's one of the only ones I can actually recognize on the ice! LOL!

Anyways, this is for you, Honey. And now, for that moment of silence......................................
