Caps

Last week I played in a nine-hole golf tournament, the theme was Diamonds in the Rough.  Players were encouraged to get into the theme by wearing sparkling accessories and outfits.  Because I previously played with my friend Kristin in another tournament two summers ago, I was really surprised that she invited me to play in her foursome. Even more surprising was that the invitation still stood after I confessed that I didn't touch my clubs for 1.5+ years because I had been working on my tennis. When I arrived at the club as Kristin's guest for the nine-hole tournament, I found out that she was the Chair of the event. What an honor! And because being invited wasn't enough, as a thoughtful pinch,  Kristin gave each of her foursome a cap.

Teams usually know their game times for hockey tournaments, like other sports, for the first few games.  Then the winners and losers of those games have to face each other which means it's a "wait and see" situation before going onto the next level.  Eventually it turns into a "play in the championship game or go home" situation.  This year, during the weekend of the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo, I hosted our annual neighborhood Cinco de Mayo party and my son was in a hockey tournament that consisted of 5 games and a possible championship game.  A recap of the weekend went as follows:  Game #1 /Screw up #1 - I messed up by not checking my son's bag to make sure he had everything. We didn't have his gray hockey socks so I got a text from coach not to forget them for the next game. We won the game.
