April 7, 2011. Canyon Lake, Texas. The Hockey Playoffs.

It is genetic.  If you are born and raised in Canada you are a hockey fan.  It is bred in the bone, apparently.  Thanks to our new fancy portable satellite TV dish, we are the proud owners of a full package of  hockey playoff games.  We, if we wish, can watch every game during the playoffs.  If we wish, we can watch the games on the east coast and the west coast.  Such luxury.  

Ken ordered the package while I was off at the track meet, and being house bound, he started fiddling with the computer, only do discover that for $70. he could sign up immediately and watch the end of the season and all the playoff games.  I returned home to find him watching three hockey games, flipping from one  to the next during the commercials.  On two evenings, we have watched more hockey than during the past twenty years.

The truth is, we don't usually ever watch a full game, so it will be interesting to see how much we watch.  But Ken is the only one who can hook up the satellite dish so perhaps he will indulge himself and watch till he drops, as it's  his game and his toy.   I know we will watch the Capitals games.  They are exciting, especially when they score many goals.  Now we are modern and we can watch every game.
