Ugh. Wowโ€ฆfeel like Iโ€™m pushing forty today. Gahhhh. Back to back ball hockey games have giving me an achy breaky body. Our normal game days are Tuesday and Thursdayโ€ฆso playing a game on a Wednesday messed everyone up. We had just enough guys to play with one sub. I thought at the time โ€˜we are in for itโ€™ but noโ€ฆ our guys worked and worked all game long and we ended up with a convincing 6-2 win. It was the last game of the season, and yes, I finally scored another goal โ€“ which would end up being the game winning goal. With one sub it really felt like a team effort, I think the guys there felt the same, like a surprised confidence in winning. Anyway, we are riding a string of big wins heading into the playoffs! They start Tuesdayโ€ฆIโ€™m hoping to make the game, it is however the eve my holidays begin soโ€ฆ there may be a little rushing around.

Stayed up stupid late last night to watch Rush : Beyond the Lighted Stage it was musical documentary crack on one of my favourite bands. It was impossible to stop watching. What a wonderful journey the film is. They included so much old film and photography from the early years, all stuff Iโ€™ve never seen. They also follow the full evolution of the band which is fascinating. (very Outlier-ish) They also tossed in comments from musicians from numerous musical genres who waxxed on Rushโ€™s awesomeness. It is an absolute must-see for any fan and for any spouse of a fan who hates them. It explains a lot of the attraction of the band. โ€œLiving on a lighted stage/ Approaches the unreal For those who think and feel/ In touch with some reality/ Beyond the gilded cage / Cast in this unlikely role / Ill-equipped to act / With insufficient tact One must put up barriers / To keep oneself intactโ€
