23:50 Quick digression on the Blackhawks

I've been following the Chicago Blackhawks season since January, when I was flat on my back with a whiplash. It's been a great distraction from all the emotional upheaval in my life. It rekindled my love for hockey, begun many years ago in college when our Tigers made the NCAA "Frozen Four" every year for what seemed eons.

Needless to say, I've had several crushes/fantasies, etc. on various Blackhawks players. But this one has truly stolen my heart. Anyone with the chutzpah to do this ad, is a "real catch" as my Grandma would say:

And when I meet the hunky, skillful puck-handler Brian Campbell, I will give him this as a "let's get to know one another" gift:

GO BLACKHAWKS!!!

I'm a 30-something professional woman who's mother & brother were both diagnosed with Grade 3 Astrocytoma tumors within about a week of each other. My mother's tumor is in her brain, and my brother's tumor is in his spinal cord, causing him to lose feeling in his arms & legs. These writings are about my experiences dealing with them, coping, loving them, loving myself, and living my life knowing that they are both dying. I hope you find inspiration and courage from my writings to help you get through whatever is going on in your life.
