Hockey

I am not a big hockey fan. My daughter is. On a business trip to Toronto she visited the Hockey Hall of Fame and touched the Stanley Cup. It was the highlight of her trip.

Canada is fanatical about hockey. It is as important to them as their religion and for some more important. Winning a Gold Medal in the Olympics in hockey is the most important thing in the world to them. Their national pride is on the line. I think they would trade all their other medals for just the Gold in hockey.

Canada is our neighbor and our best friend. Last night we beat Canada in hockey. Knowing how important this is to Canada, don’t you think we could have let them have this game and help them in their quest for the Gold? Really – we have more medals than anyone else. Do we have to be so greedy?

I’m just saying – isn’t that what friends do for each other?

I’ll go duck and hide behind my desk now.
