Rice Lake over New Richmond 5-3 tonight here on home ice, with the 5-year-olds in the RL youth program "scrimmaging" between the 2nd and 3rd periods for the crowd's entertainment.

What I loved most: this is the kind of solid community program, the high-schoolers stayed on the bench to cheer them on, and the fans tossed hats when one young chap stayed on his feet, and scored 3.

We started out today at 15 below; got up to 3 or so... and yet you get all generations out in the metal shed essentially to cheer our Warriors on...

It's good to win, and leave with a smile, and share a winning warmth with the crowd, though I watch from the stands and do try to stay out of the packed heated indoor viewing platforms, aka the "germ exchange". It's been so cold lately though, nobody was hacking or looked sickly, maybe the germs are all dead?

This song on the radio pumped me up more coming home; anytime you beat an over-rated New Richmond, especially with a solidly rooted community program, it's good. (Personal for me, I admit it...)

Have a good rest of the night, and make it a great Friday, you.

Have to admit it's getting better...
Getting so much better all the time.
