This photograph from last night shows my friend Randy Brandt taking the puck to the net, weaving in and out of a plethora of defenders, getting hooked and still scoring the winning goal just before the 3rd period buzzer sounded. Sort of...I was finally able to visit one of Randy's hockey games last night, but I didn't have a camera. I don't know who the guy in yellow is, but that's what Randy looked like last night. One of my many Canadian friends, Randy is the best hockey player that I know. He really did score an impressive goal, single-handedly taking the puck straight through a crowd of defenders. And he really did get hooked so bad that the other guy got a 2 minute stint in the penalty box. And the 3rd period buzzer really did sound. But that didn't all happen at exactly the same time.
Randy broke a stick and the team won by 5 or 6 goals. They were impressive. But Randy tells me that his Sunday night league where he captains is the better league. I want to see that team play sometime.

Very clever, Scott! Thanks for providing a little extra incentive last night.
have i told you about my hockey experience with randy. a dirty, dirty player. i played with him some months ago and vowed never to step on the ice with him again. okay, that's not true. i enjoyed playing against him. i had to pay the canadian government a lot of money in income taxes. that's why i couldn't play with him this summer
Keith vowed never to step on the ice against me because he wasn't scoring goals when I was on defense! He did get a hat trick the night we played each other, but only one when I was out there, and he was on the other side of the ice.
Scott, Keith's probably the best hockey player you know--I'll settle for best defenseman.
