the eric update - day 1637: odin enjoys his first minor league hockey game!

of course we all know how much odin loves hockey, but we've never been to a "real" game; so we decided to take odin to see the grand rapids griffins for his first minor league hockey game. even though the griffins lost in overtime, it was an exciting game nonetheless.

odin seemed to have a great time watching the players, even though it was difficult to follow the puck, but i'm not sure he knew what to make of some parts of the extravaganza - i thought we he was going to lose it when they dropped the house lights to announce the players with much bombast. or like the griffin mascot dressed like santa clause wheeling around a gatlin gun that launched t-shirts into the crowd.

well, at least hi figured out quickly enough by mimicking others that he should put his hands out for some reason or another.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
