I got a really nice email from a girl I was chatting with on Match.com.  We had previously agreed we would not meet because she is heavily Christian which I disavow.  But we continued to chat and apparently I impressed upon her a sense of positivity and hope.  It was rewarding to help someone that I have never met.

Notwithstanding that we lost in a shoot-out, I consider that game a tie.  We came out with little hope going in our favour.  We scored a goal in the first half to put us ahead.  Then we proceeded to kill of 19 minutes of shut-down hockey before they collected a fluke deflected goal.  We played hard, our scheme was solid, and the results were there.  That was a good game for the Shockers.
