Sports, Sports, Sports

So I pretty much watched football all day today (and I still am), with only a few hours off to go to a hockey game with my uncle. It was actually a lot of fun - I've been to a hockey game before, but it's been many years. There were a few fights, but a lot of spectacular plays and goals. The only thing truly worth mentioning, though, was the lady singing the national anthem. She had a beautiful voice, from what I could hear, but she either forgot to turn the mic on, or the sound people screwed up. Either way, it was pretty awkward as she sang her tasteful, yet barely audible rendition until a guy across the way from me started belting out with her. Before too long, pretty much the whole crowd was singing along with her at a respectful volume - not trying to drown out what little we could hear without the amplification. It was a cool experience, but I feel pretty bad for the singer.

In other news, I'm getting pretty excited to go home for Thanksgiving. I miss the fam and the dog, so it will be good to see them again. All of a sudden, it seems, I've been gone for 5 months. Pretty crazy. Oh well, go KU.
