Really! A friend of mine, Shane (thanks, boyo!) got us penthouse tickets to the hockey playoff game between the San Jose Sharks and the Colorado Avalanche, the latter being my favorite team. (I am from Colorado, among other places). Anyway, the Avs gave the Sharks a whipping, and I feel sure that all the San Jose fans benefitted from the sight of my Colorado jersey. At least, that's what I think their hand signals meant. You never can tell.

The two teams head back to Colorado for game five, tied up at 2-2. . . . (continued)
