Good for you!  The best writing is written with passion and introspection, and it seems you have discovered this!  I just read your blog on how you came to enjoy hockey, and I have to agree with your points.  I have a husband who is an avid hockey fan, but even though we live in BC he cheers for a different team.  Amazingly, I take a lot of flak for it, even though it is not me cheering for them.  Learning the basics has helped me in my work too.  You can't manage a restaurant and bar without knowing at least some details of the home team!  I hope you keep up your blogging, I enjoy reading them!
