The True North Strong and Free has done it again!
The GOLD MEDAL for Hockey is OURS! Hip Hip Hooray! Way to go, men!
I had a hockey party planned for today. I invited a whole bunch of American friends (I have no Canadian friends here). They didn't know it, but they were going to be eating cake decorated like a Canadian flag, listening only to Canadian artists, and forced to sing (or listen to) the Canadian National Anthem before the game.
I was pumped.
And then I got a call....
OF COURSE...some little American baby boy decided to be born WHILE the hockey game was going on. I saw about thirty seconds of the game. After the birth, I ran out and turned the tv on (muted, of course) and saw that it was 2-2. Then I had to return to the room. I came out again about 3 minutes later and they players were shaking hands. What the heck? What happened? The other midwife and I stayed glued to the silent tv...looking at faces to try to determine the outcome. Then it came - the replay. Canada had scored.
Super-dee-duper.
Good day. Canada wins gold. Baby Griffin born. Everybody happy.
....well...besides you Americans who care about hockey....
