Hockey

Posted on October 6, 2001 by Kevin Sonney

Great game last night. As usual, dad and I were in my seats – 3 rows off the ice. I love my seats.

Anyway, the game was awsome. The rangers played hard, and lost 3-1. My fault for thinking “shutout” when it was 3-0, with 10 left in the 3rd. Oops.

I was disappointed, though, that they only sang “God Bless America” WFT is up with that. yeah, the tribute to NYC, and letting the guy from Durham who carried the wheelchair lady down the towers was cool, but I think it’s disrespectful not to sing the “Star Spangled Banner” at a sporting event. “God Bless America” is OK, but it’s *NOT* the National Anthem, and just plain *WRONG* to sing that and nothing else.

And the bagpipe playing “Amazing Grace” was nifty.

All in all, a fun night, and it’s nice to see the hockey team playing like they have a chance, this early.

About Kevin Sonney

Kevin Sonney - who, contrary to popular opinion was NOT raised by wolves - grew up in central North Carolina. He fell into the technology field by accident in 1991, when he gave up the wild and crazy lifestyle of an on-air AM radio DJ to become a mundane technical support monkey. The technology industry has never really recovered from this. Kevin has worked for such names as IBM, Red Hat, webslingerZ, and Lulu Technologies (we won't mention the ones that didn't survive the experience). He currently works as a Linux Administrator for Apptio. In his spare time he rescues stray animals and plays video games with his two sons. His wife, we're sad to say, helps him get past the really hard bits. Kevin is still not very mundane, he just got better at hiding it.
