First game tonight.

We left home at 5:35, arrived 6:45. Game started at 8 .....and still wasn't done by 10!!! They had 2.5 hours ice time! Norm to this point is 1.5 for a game (sometimes only 1 for a practice). So when the game was finally done (won 3-1) .....they fricking stayed on to hold a shoot out. Can't waste ice time (remember, 70 minute ride home still to go, school night, school starts at 7:25am.....)

FFS we got home at midnightish. Trying to chill enough to go to bed (a fun drive throught Detroit via urban feeway)

Urban freeways are the best! Heavy traffic, lots of potholes, and no money to fix the potholes. Even if you have the money, you can't close a lane to fix the potholes because that will gridlock the entire city. You need a jeep and have to drive 25 to avoid damage to your vehicle, but there's some crack head in a beat up shitbox going 70 who's going to rear end you, so you speed up too and wince going over the potholes. And then doing this at midnight while trying to get the kids home into bed on a school night. That's priceless.
