- I have to preface this by saying that I have to be one of the few
- people who have slipped past the unofficial entrance exam and entered
- RPI not liking beer or, worse, hockey. My wife, on the other hand, is
- a great fan. Our daughter now goes to the campus day care center and
- they frequently trot the toddler class over to the fieldhouse to watch
- hockey practice.
-
- This evening, I was rocking my daughter to sleep in the living room and
- the TV was on. A commercial for the World Wrestling Federation show
- at the local arena came on and my daughter perked up and offered
- "Hockey!". As violent and silly a "sport" as I think hockey to be,
- that seemed particularly fitting; I haven't laughed so hard in days.
