Northern Conference Winners

Today was a busy day and it ended on a high note. I got off from work and was out on an errand when Joe, a friend called, me out of the blue. He asked me if I wanted to go the Eagles game. The Eagles is a local hockey team. It was a 3-3 series and was game 7 in the play offs for the Northern Conference. Game was in just over an hour.

I said give me 15 minutes and I would let him know. My wife was out of down at a lacrosse game for our son. I had my daughter to get to some church things for the night. So I called my sister and asked her if she could pick up my daughter, she said yes. I then tried to call my wife 3 times with no answer. So I texted her a simple message “I won’t be home tonight.” It wasn’t but 2 minutes after the text went out my phone was ringing. She asked why and I said I was invited to the hockey game. I took care of the daughter and would be home late. She never asked who I was even going with, though I did tell her.

I told Joe about my wife not answering and the conversation above. Then I told him drop me off here my girl friend should be along shortly. He laughed and told the following joke which I had heard before but is funny.

Friendship among women: A woman doesn't come home at night. The next day she tells her husband she slept over at a friend's house. The man calls his wife's ten best friends. None of them know about it.

Friendship among men: A man doesn't come home at night. The next day he tells his wife he slept over at a friend's house. The woman calls her husband's ten best friends. Eight of them say he slept over. Two claim he's still there.

It turned out to be a really great night out with a guy friend. Had some beer, watched some hockey and our home team, the Eagles, won in the end 3-2 becoming the Northern Conference winners. They will be going for the cup now. AND I got in home in time to catch the last half of the Nuggets vs. Lakers game.
