Nucleic Acid Hybridization


Last night my father and I crossed the boarder into Canada to watch a Junior A hockey game between Ottawa and Cornwall. Ottawa's starting goalie that night was Greg Richardson, my good friend from Higley Flow. Although Ottawa lost the game, it was fun to see him play.

The first picture is of Greg skating out onto the ice after the second intermission. If you have not had the occasion to meet Greg, make it a priority to seek him out and introduce yourself. He is a great guy and fun to know. He is a talented goalie and golfer and enjoys the company of people. A special note to the female reader...this kind of guy does not come around all of the time, and he will not be single forever...

The second picture shows the dinner we enjoyed while watching Greg. This is the typical meal available to the hockey fan in any rink around the country (minus the professional venue). Other than the slight variation of maybe some fries with gravy, fried dough, or popcorn...this is what you stand in line for during intermissions...an under cooked hotdog and luke warm hot chocolate. Unappealing you may think...well think again! The "real" hockey fan loves this ice rink cuisine. The common, minimal menu and the friendly service is what the hockey community has grown to embrace...so any game without these ingredients is just...well...not a hockey game that I want to be apart of...

I'll take care of Mozart & company knowing that you have Longfellow and all of his cronies covered. Deal?(Pretty impressive spelling, by the way. Think you would want to do a pop quiz?)

I saw the Fay brothers play a box lacrosse game in that rink.
