Follow that puck.
Sorry to leave you hanging like that. Work has been really busy and I've also been helping Beetle move into her new apartment, so I haven't had much free time.
Also, no, I did't cause an old guy to have a heart attack. It was just a question that I was pondering, because I did yell at an old guy.
I'd better clear that story up really quickly, before Chinky starts talking about how us japs are all out to get everyone.

I was at a memorial service at the Buddhist temple, and afterwards, they serve a small potluck meal.
During the meal, one of the older members of the church approached my mother, and started yelling at her.
That's fine. My mom can handle herself.
However, then he started to poke at her, and I interrupted with a "Hey!"
He either didn't hear me, or just failed to acknowledge me, and went to poke at her again, while yelling at her.
I then spoke up in a louder voice, which, in the small room ended up sounding much much louder than I had anticipated.
It kind of shocked him, and suddenly he announced that he had to leave, and that his wife needs to take him home.
I felt bad, as I know that you're not supposed to speak out against your elders, especially in a church, especially at a memorial service, especially when 70% of the other members are also elderly, but, at the time, all I could think of was "Don't poke my mom."
Ahhh well, it's not like I go to church religiously anyways.....

Anyways, since I've been really busy, I've been staying at work late, and Beetle is sitting here waiting to go, so, I will have to leave you with a series of pictures.
Follow the puck, and watch where it hits the goalie.
The computer then announced that the goalie was injured and had to leave the game.
That's right, only for me, could a goalie get hit in the nuts and have to leave the game,,,, in a video game.
