And so the dance begins.

Lee says they call it the dance in the NHL and sometimes also the real season. In any case, the Generals start the play-off run tonight.

Well, the anticipation turned to, er, fun at the Howie Meeker Arena. The Generals laid an 8-1 beating on the Bombers in the first play-off game. Fun as always with the Van Herk family members and the Paziuk family sitting in front of us also. On to Port Alberni tomorrow for game 2.

The design work a couple of days ago is being put to the test as I work with it to create a small comfort quilt with 6 inch squares of cross stitched letters of the alphabet. It should keep me out of mischief for a few days between going to hockey games.
