So Canada hasn’t beaten Russia in hockey since the 1960’s, at least in the Olympics. Sat down and watched the game tonight, which is totally unlike me, but I couldn’t stop myself. The whole country has been transformed into a wingnut’s paradise and it infected me. That’s my only excuse. I sat there for all three periods and thought that the only thing better than watching the game would have been being there. The stands blood red with jerseys and every throat must have been raw by the end of the game. I know I let out a yell or two myself. Especially when Staal went down.

Alas the writerly life. I have to work during the day to make the money to live out my dreams at the keyboard at night. Working two jobs has been taking its toll lately. That and we’re in the depths of winter up here in the Great White North, without a foreseeable break until late April. It’s like a slump in my training. I needed some get up and go, some serious inspiration! I needed to write this blog! So I slipped away and watched the team with Syd the kid (from my home province, not that I’m overly proud or anything) take Russia to school with a 7-3. And you know what? It was exactly the shot in the arm that I needed. The chapters I’m working on sped through my fingers! I’m excited about getting back to work tomorrow, for both jobs. Heck, I’m just excited and jazzed, right now.

Canada is playing for a medal! It’s our game! Let’s show the world how we bring it when you play on our pond! My heart is racing, I’m pumped for Friday’s game! Come on keyboard, we’ve got some writing to do!
