Hockey Interviews

Hockey players must be trained at hockey school on what to say during an interview.  They all seem to say the same stuff.  Here's a narrative:

"Um, obviously we gotta take this season game by game and obviously outwork them. Obviously when we play our game plan it's huge for us.  Um, thought we are doing the right things but obviously gotta give them credit for winning the battles after getting the bounces.  Um, we aren't obviously playing our best hockey right now and um, could do better.  We got to get pucks to the net and play the full 60.  Obviously we thought we came out strong and gave a good, um, team effort.  But the bad bounces, um, they obviously hurt us.

But it is what it is......we created chances, but obviously, um couldn't deliver and bury the puck....Tomorrow night could be a big 2 points. We got to play our best hockey......obviously 

(Absolutely, I love hockey)


Baby Skunk Smell

Driving down the road tonight there was a baby skunk dead on the side of the road.  Chris said, "Is that a baby skunk?"  I said, "yes".  Went up the road a piece and started smelling something.  Chris asked, "is that baby skunk smell?"  I said, "yes".  (I don't think a baby skunk smell, smells any different from an adult baby skunk.  But I didn't say anything...)

Jane Goodall

Had lunch with a friend today, her little girl and the little girl's friend.  Talk turned of my friend's little girl going to Africa and seeing gorillas.  I'm not sure exactly how it went but the other little girl said something like, "Or Jane Goodall can bring you a gorilla back."  I said, "Do you know who Jane Goodall is?"  She said, "Yes".  I said, "How old are you?"  She said, "9".  I thought, oh lawsie day, it's a little Marna!
