…only for those with true grit. And we were chocked full of that!

This weekend was the season opener for Peoria Adult C League hockey. I’m again on the blue team, but this year we have a different roster. Unlike last year, we do not have a goalie without depth perception that is deaf in one ear, nor do we have a 78-year-old man, nor do we have an insane 28-year-old man whom we affectionately called “Mad dog”. Instead, we have a nice team full of medium to lower medium skilled players.

The league is also full this year, which means we have 16 skaters. This is nice because now I don’t have to skate for 60 min a game, but it’s also bad because I only got about 15-20 min of ice time. The other sucky thing is that the guy I work with signed up too late and the league was already full. The good thing thought, is that Danny “Roast Beef” Bell also signed up too late and won’t be playing this year. That makes me really happy. I was sick of playing against that fat fuck. I guess he was too stupid to make it into any colleges and is still in the Peoria area, but I don’t have to see him!

Anyway, it was a good game. I ended up with 2 goals and 1 (Maybe 2, I can’t remember) assists. We ended up beating the black team 8-2. Even though we’d never played together, it seemed, due to our excellent passing, that we’d all been playing together for months. It should be a good season.

My stomach didn’t feel good up until yesterday, so maybe I had some sort of stomach bug and it isn’t all due to the Lexapro incident. I’m not really sure. I’m going to wait to talk to my therapist before I resume taking the Lexapro.

On Saturday I raked up 12 yard waste bags full of leaves and pine needles. It sucked. I cleaned out the gutters too. I think I’m finally ok with being up on the roof now. It’s got a pretty steep pitch to it, but I just told myself not to be such a pussy and get up there, that seemed to work.

And it turns out I was wrong. There was a theatre in Peoria playing “Jarhead”. We went and saw it on Sunday. It was really good. Ranks right up there with “Full Metal Jacket”.

Money should really grow on trees...
