November 13-19

Monday morning lunch at the mall, in the evening we finished the dek hockey league's regular season. These were the games postponed from the 7th, as the night began each game had some bearing on the final standings. Winners included the Steamers over the Hammerheads. the Unilords over the Riot, the Misfits over the Kings and the Owls over the Pub Dawgs via shootout. We had planned to start playoffs on Tuesday had the league ended on time as scheduled, Monday's makeups did not change that (everybody who played Monday was playing again on Tuesday so no one could claim unfair advantage). The East Division Championship featured the Steamers versus the UniLords, the West Division semifinal matchups were the Kings vs the Misfits and the Owls vs the Riot. Game #2 of each series was played on Thursday night, by week's end the Steamers were up 2-0 in the best-of-five East Finals and both of the best-of-three West semis were tied at 1-1. The week otherwise was relatively quiet except for my lunch visits with Jenny on Wednesday and Saturday. The Royals were on a three-game road swing during the week, the boys are back home on Tuesday the 21st. Take care, thanks for reading.
