Do you now feel 6.8 microseconds older?

I missed part of the game because of choir practice, but I was able to catch the end of the third period and overtime using my iPhone and computer before our evening service. I have saved a copy of it, however, for later perusal.

The silver lining for us Carolina fans is that all of our players in the Olympics got medals (US, Canada, Finland).

In reply to matt.

Hi Matt, good catch. Shows I didn’t read the article closely enough. Or else it shows you that I am really getting older faster than I thought. Pretty soon I’ll be getting older at the speed of light… just think how much I’ll miss then.

Dave, I can appreciate the devastation. I was thinking writing an article about it. In Canada, the reports are that 80 % of the population tuned in to some part of the game while it was live. That shows how NUTS we are about hockey. The game was on during our afternoon service and I had to head up-island to preach for my brother’s evening service (he was on his way home from Israel) so I missed the last period and overtime. I am one of the 20% who didn’t see any of it live. I’m always in the minority, it seems.

Maranatha!

“(I am not exactly sure what a microsecond is.)”

Not sure if that was a joke. The article says a microsecond is one millionth of a second.

A microsecond is that moment of time when a U.S. hockey fan goes from elation to devastation upon the scoring of the winning goal by the opposition.
