Last Saturday night KO went to the Yale v Clarkson Hockey game with RGO.
They were up 2-0, then tied 2-2, but in the end celebrated a 5-2 victory. Yay.
As per usual, we enjoyed cheering for the Bulldogs and getting into hockey
talk with Dad. It's the one thing we can really connect on! Yale's alumni game
was earlier in the day, and there was a special ceremony after the 1st period to
honor both the Class of 52 and the Class of 98, so there were more people in the
Schley room between periods and after the game than usual. Highlights included
talking to our friend Celeste's classmate (and hockey player from the 98 team)
Daryl Jones; meeting and talking to rad (90 grad) Bill Matthews; meeting and talking
to hot alot (05 grad) Nick Shalek. It was also ridiculously fun to walk over to Toad's
w/ Daryl and Bill for a night of partying with many good-looking hockey players. Our
friend Lauren met us at Toad's because we couldn't believe how many guys we were
surrounded by (and could do, ehem, nothing with, but, ehem, talk)! It was very much
reminiscent (except for the drinking and, being older than alot of them part) of our
youth. We spent many a winter night as a little girl wide-eyed and smitten swimming
in a sea of hot hockey players. Sigh. Here are the best from the unforgettable eve:
