It's going to be a long night. No, it has nothing to do with the 6-5 O.T. loss, or the post-game meal. But it has EVERYTHING to do with the *Munson who left the window of our hotel-room open, which is now stuck in place at 12:59 AM. Guess who got the bed closest to the window? Good guess. Dale had nothing to do with it. The window was already open before we got in apparently and was stuck then and is terribly stuck now.
Life on the road is not always glamorous.
10:00 - We leave the rink after a disheartening 6-5 O.T. loss. The bus is quiet. There is basically a whisper policy in place on the bus after a loss. Anybody who dares to talk or laugh loudly is tempting fate in a big way.
10:10 - Post-game meal is at Boston Pizza. The boys get lasagna and Garlic Toast. Fortunately the coaches and I got Chicken Caesar Salads.
10:50 - The bus heads back to the hotel (directly across the street) while my roommate Dale and I decide to stick around for a cold one. Together we watch NHL highlights, reflect on the game and we debate possible playoff scenarios.
12:00 - I arrive to our frozen hotel-room and I lament about the cold temperature in our room. Time for some more Sports Center and then it's time for bed. Wake up is scheduled for 9:00 with breakfast shortly to follow. Here's hoping I can get to sleep!
Day two of the Road-Trip Chronicles will be posted tomorrow in spurts. Until then, goodnight, and thanks for tuning in and reading today. This blog is for you, and I hope that you enjoy stopping by.
