I hope officiating isn't an issue, but it's already become a peripheral story.

Canuck, WOW! One of those fantasies one dreams about. Especially coming as a last minute surprise. Too bad about travel logistics. Here at the opposite coast I live ten minutes away from the border and often travel with U.S. airlines from Bellingham WA. All told, maybe an hour from home to their airport if border traffic isn't too bad.

It's funny, but I thought after an eighteen year wait that I'd enjoy all the buildup and hype. But it makes me nervous. I just want the game to be played and then enjoy the post-game reflections and replays. Still eight days to go ....
