My Quest Continues...
Since tomorrow is Alexei's first skating "lesson" and I want to encourage the use of a helmet
, I purchased one for myself today. I am also in the process of acquiring all the necessary gear to play hockey so now I can mark helmet off the list. Rosie was planning on dressing up as a hockey player for Hallowe'en this year, so I purchased some hockey pants
as well, so she can borrow them if she wants. So I'm slowly growing my collection of stuff and figure I should be all geared up by next hockey season.
As we were looking for the assorted hockey jerseys in our possession I rediscovered that I had a referee's jersey. I am now thinking that maybe I should look in to refereeing as an alternative to jumping right into hockey. It would definitely help me with my skating. I used to have my own whistle, as well, but I can't seem to find it.
Anyway, I can't imagine playing hockey right now. I can hardly find time to do anything and I can't see it getting any better anytime soon. Maybe I'll be ready by my 40th birthday.
