chicago wolves game

enjoyed the weekend in chicagoland, included seeing a wolves minor-league hockey game saturday evening, a 4-3 loss to oklahoma city. wolves led 2-1 after one session, then fell behind early 3-2 in the second. 2 goals were scored on power plays, a double minor, the second minor for unsportsmanlike conduct. so it didn't have to happen, cooler heads should prevail. sounds like i saw the wrong game, as it was the same opponent today and a 4-0 wolves win. but it was nice being back at a wolves game, first time in rosemont since i moved 7 years ago. bought a pennant to go with the shirt i already had. holding up the pennant got me onto the video board during the game, which was nice. looking forward to reviewing the wolves on ticketmaster soon. there was a fight just 3 minutes into the game.
   i had another date today after flying back from chicagoland, and it included a skype call with her parents in florida. it was a bit of a rush to make the flight on time, since it was slow getting through security at o'hare airport.
   i left my information with somebody at the izaak walton league in des plaines, the suburb i lived in, hopefully they can help me with the history of the organization as emerson hough was a co-founder. it was nice meeting a scout leader there, latvian ancestry, and seeing a deer go into the woods, got a picture of it. got myself some souvenirs besides pictures, a bears towel at a closeout store, as well as a book about lady gaga, for 60 percent off at a borders liquidation sale in mt. prospect.
