Yes, I know, I added one of the pictures, twice. It was easier to keep it in than delete it. Now to the story. (short story) Sometimes it does pay to know people. Thanks to a variety of people and circumstances, I was offered a ticket to see the Hurricanes hockey game last night. They played the Buffalo Sabres and it was great. The first score happend about 10 seconds into the game, with the 'Canes' scoring first. Buffalo tied it up quickly and the game went to 2-2 until the final period, when the 'Canes' opened it up, big time, and finished the game 6-2. Exciting stuff. Thanks to Jim, from the Jim & Sue Smith team, for offering me the ticket and driving me to the game. Thanks to Terry, from the Terry & Sue Finch team, for declining the ticket before it was offered to me. Thanks to Niclas, from the Niclas and Louise Wallin team, for offering the tickets to Jim. If you didn't recognize the name, Niclas Wallin, he plays defense for the Hurricanes. I had the pleasure of meeting him and his family, from Sweden, last year when I was in the Raleigh area. Coupled with a wonderful Carolina Pale Ale .....a great night.
