Stoughton, Wisconsin.
Oh, how I wished I could have attended this game. The drive to Stoughton from Madison over that dark, two-lane blacktop, is a bit harrowing.
Yes, I missed my second Lightning game this season, having been dispatched earlier in the day via Badger Bus to Milwaukee to earn my keep, and then eat Turkish meatballs and discuss the pros and cons of dyeing hair.
But a cloud rarely lofts alone, and while I was weighted down by reports of both the KSU Wildcats and the UO Ducks losing, I was buoyed by a text that the M Lightning had won, and had won against the formidable Berlie, the very same netminder that filled in last week's match at Janesville.
Berlie would not be spared. Reports came in that the goaltender was actually chased. Chased!!! In an exhibition game in the WCHL.
Additional reports came in with Amanita's natural hat-trick, Hlin's outburst in the locker room ("Me bored!"), the Lucas Cates Band at the Main Street Pour House, and the controversial mac-n-cheese, decried by the Bourbon Wall in a diatribe that lasted well over 45 minutes.
Game puck 5 games to Amanita. Maya Deren rounded out the scoring. See you in a couple of weeks.
Notes: I suffered my worst night at Scrabble Club earlier this week, going 0-5 with only 3 pedestrian bingos. During that run of bad play, I threw a fit, as much as a fit as decorum allows in Scrabble club: my opponents plays the nice FLENSER, and then actually invited me to challenge that word! I hissed, "FRESNEL scores more." In actuality, it didn't, but that wee outburst did give my opponent pause.
