In
a necessary and symbolic gesture, I washed all of our hockey gear and
put it away until next winter. I still find it amazing that hockey gear is
washable. I've found it very effective to simply toss everything
(everything that smells, that is) into a large front loading washer
and let it rip. It comes out smelling fresh like a spring day, I kid
you not. As I mentioned, it works for everything that smells,
including shoulder and elbow pads, jerseys, shin guards, and of course, the
dreaded gloves. In addition to removing the smell, washing removed a
(sort of) nasty stain on my should pads, which I didn't think would
go away. Boy was I relieved.
Anyway,
with this being our last year in this organization, it was fitting to
wash away the dirt, grime, and sins of hockey and get a fresh start.
Mind you, I don't think we're going into a perfect situation, not by
a long shot, but our time in Eden is done and it's time to move on.
Next season should be interesting, to say the least.

Until
then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Janet Ulliott for the pic.
