I’m looking forward to tonight’s hockey game at 8pm. This season hasn’t started out to be that great for me…I know we’ve only had just 2 games[ I think we won 1 and tied the 2nd] but personally I feel like I’ve been playing crappy. Perhaps it has something to do with changing positions from Left Wing to Right or maybe it’s just that my head’s not been 100% in the game. In any case, I hope to break the mode tonight and I’m really looking forward to getting on the ice….perhaps more than usual. 

I talked to my mom today for a little bit. She confirmed that my aunt and cousin will be flying here over Thanksgiving weekend so that should be fun. I’m not sure what we’ll do while they’re in town but I’m sure we’ll think of something.

It’s hard to plan Thanksgiving when Halloween is so front and center. I mentioned that my friend Jeff is having a party and I haven’t even thought about a costume yet. I wonder what the big outfit will be this year. Last year with the election happening just 2 days after, most folks were strutting their best "Dubya" outfits…this year I can’t even think of a big movie or event that will end up being the *costume of the year*. I have a feeling we’ll seeing quite a few people dressed as "Harriet Miers" or perhaps "Saddam in his underwear". Maybe I could dress as a chicken holding jugs of NyQuil® and just go as the Bird Flu. Naw…that would be no fun.

My guess is that I’ll just hit the gag and gift store when I get to Michigan and see what sort of fun stuff they have. I love those stores

Well…it’s time for me to start getting mentally prepared for the game tonight. Maybe this week I won’t be put in the penalty box for ROUGHING
