    Thursday #418: Hockey heroes

    On Sunday, February 24, 1980, the U.S. Hockey team defeated Finland to win the gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.

    Here's a schedule for that day...

    And here's a video clip...

    So I've got a pot of hot water on for tea and I can make hot chocolate too.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Not a hockey fan but I do remember that Olympic game!!!

    I'd love some hot chocolate. It's rainy and cold here. But better than snowy and cold for sure!!!

    That was a great game! I don't often watch games on TV, but we watched that one, and it was great!

    Hot chocolate for all, and I'll make chocolate chocolate chip shortbreads, and make 'em round, so they look kinda like pucks! Tastier, though!

    I will have some hot chocolate and a chocolate "puck"...............something sweet sounds good.

    I too, saw that game. It was an exciting time. I wish our news was filled with more of the same instead of the sad stories that we have today.

    Some hot chocolate please. Freeeeeezzzzzzzing here. -23C temp -33C windchill. Which equates to -9.4F temp and -27.4F windchill. I can't wait to go home today and snuggle up with Cali and Diego.

    I remember that game, too! Such excitement!

    Hot Chocolate, please, with a little "kick"? Some pucks on the side, too, thanks!

    That was cool. That was my junior year, and I remember someone coming in and spoiling it (the game was on tape delay!) One of the players was on our 1985 NCAA champion hockey team.

    First let me take orders and say DONE!

    In the most current issue of Playboy there is an article about Bob Probert.

    The art work at the beginning of the article is one of the best sports paintings I had seen in a while....

    It's Friday night and I've got a headache. I'm making another pot of tea and this time I'm going to add a little rum to my cup before I pour in the tea!

    It's Friday evening, and I'd like a nice glass of white wine while I listen to Donizetti's L’elisir d’amore.

    If I can't watch a hockey game, I'll take opera
