The season is over
My winter hockey league is done. Our team went to the semi-finals last night, tied 5-5, played a period of over-time, then lost in a shoot-out. I played 4 games this weekend and I’m wiped. It didn’t help that I pulled an all-nighter on Thursday but that’s another story.
One of the guys on the team was almost in tears after the game. Another guy said he wasn’t sure if he’d play next year—too much pressure during the playoffs. Me, I had fun. We lost. Whatever. Summer hockey starts this Wednesday night.
The best part about last night, was when I told one of the guys on my team, how old I was. He’s 23 and thought that I was 26 years-old, maybe 27. When I told him that I was 36, going on 37 he was shocked.
When you’re 36, and people think you’re 26, losing a hockey game just doesn’t seem like a big deal.

I’d second that.
Yet being 22 and being mistaken for a 14-year old is a little disheartening. I’m sure most people now at least think I’m 21.

So if my math is correct, that makes you 29?
I would have guessed younger. The older you get the more you’re going to wish you were at least 10 years younger. If you can get away with it, I say keep ‘em guessing!

36?!?!?
Time to trade you in for a younger model!
(You know I’m kidding, I wouldn’t trade you for all the pucks in Canada!)
