The Sin Bin

My team lost tonight. I set a new record for myself. I was thrown in the penalty box 3 times. I couldn't believe what was going on. Then this little guy came skating down on our end and I hit him into the boards so hard. He was super mad and feisty. He jumped on my back and just started swinging. The guy had to be 5' nothing and weighed 120 lbs. I knew if I started swinging back, it would have been malicious and I would've killed the kid. I love a good physical game but don't hit the ice looking for a fight. We lost 6-4 and I blame myself as 2 goals were scored as I was sitting watching my team play a man down for my zealousness. In the words of Rocky Balboa: "There's some stuff down in the basement." I suppose I get most of it out with that one hour a week on the ice.

pumpkin carving

The other night I went on a group date with some of the boys and the wonderful residents of Apt. 212. We all had a blast. We carved pumpkins. Have you ever wondered where the pumpkin carving started; I have. Before I get into that too much I have to announce our pumpkin was modeled after the Monsters Inc. character, Mike Wazowski. What do you think?

Origin of pumpkin carving

Vegetable lanterns have been used for a long time during harvest season. this would illuminate fields and block the winds from blowing out the flame. They haven't only used pumpkins for this and in Europe turnips were a favorite for many years. Although these lanterns were used in agrarian societies they were only associated with American inline with Halloween. Evidence of the carved vegetable lanterns aren't associated with Halloween until later in the 19th century. Lastly, the carving of lanterns is worldwide but the word Jack o' lantern is almost exclusively associated with America. ..... God Bless it!
