Wow, for those of you that are not hockey fans or don’t watch the playoffs, I wish you could have seen the Blackhawks game tonight.  That was the most exciting game I have seen all year.  Blackhawks got off to a great start and were up 3-1 in the 2nd, only to fall behind 4-3 in the third and come back to win the game 7-5 with 4 goals in the 3rd period and a hat trick for Patrick Kane.  It was so amazing, the 3rd period was a total rush of back and forth scoring.  Patrick Kane’s 3rd and final goal was one of the best moves of the playoffs.  Now on to the Western Conference Finals to face most likely the Detroit Red Wings, or possibly the Anahiem Ducks.  Wow, the United Center was rocking tonight!

Well its been a quite busy couple of weeks, Nate graduated last Friday with his MBA from IU which is awesome, so happy for him.  We had a great couple nights of celebration for him.  Woke my ass up early on Saturday and squeezed in a round of golf with Nate and Dill which was really a pretty good round for me.  Shot an 89, had probably 3 birdie putts and ended up with 4-5 pars, and only 1 3-putt all day.  Booked it home after that to see Mom for Mothers Day.  Spent Saturday night with Reedo watching the Blackhawks game that night and playing Country Sing Star which was a blast.  You’d be amazed how much we sound like Big & Rich, if Reedo and I get bored this fall/winter we may start recording an album lol.  Golfed with Mom and Dad Sunday and didn’t play as well as the day before but eeked out a 94 and sunk a 12 footer on 18 to win the match for Mom and I so that was a good feeling.  Then we got our pontoon later that night.  Unfortunately the rain screwed us from our first boat ride of the year, but I’ll be back up that way Thursday and will be sure to have the boat out for my first trip around the lake of the year.  

Summer is almost here and I’m sure excited, lots of stuff going on right now and I can’t wait to see everybody this summer up at the lake.  Hope everybody had a great Monday, check back soon for more!
