It’s been a long time since my first post! It’s hard for me to usually keep a blog updated, bu I am constantly thinking of things I want to say, but never having anyone to say it to, or forgetting about it when I have a chance to. Due to that, I am going to try to start just writing a post about these things.

Tomorrow, I am going to my first hockey game in a long time! My dad is in town for work so I am going to meet up with him tomorrow night to see the Rangers-Sabres game at Madison Square Garden. I haven’t been to a hockey game in about 4 years and haven’t really paid any attention to the NHL in longer than that, but it will be awesome to finally see a game at MSG!

Tonight, however, once Sam gets back from the gym, we’re carving pumpkins! I’m not too sure what I will carve mine with but it should be fun! This year, we have to be careful not to let Mel eat any of the pumpkin, or get too close once we put candles in them! I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since we got her!

For those who don’t know, Sam is my wonderful girlfriend and Mel (short for Melody) is our cat. I have wanted to get a cat for a long time, but Sam would always say she hated cats and could never get one. Then, in a moment of weakness, I was told “Let’s just fill out the cat foster application.” The next day, I got a call, and a couple days later, Mel was coming home with us!

Sam still wasn’t sold on the cat idea, especially when all she did was hide under the couch when we first brought her home. But that first night, Sam got up to go to the bathroom and Mel went and sat on her lap, purring and loving all the pets that Sam gave her and from then on, she’s been our baby. It’s even to the point where Sam constantly reminds me that she gets Mel in the divorce!

Anyways, back to hockey and my dad. After the game, I get to stay in a hotel about a 10 minute walk from my office. A sign of the things to come when we move back to Manhattan next spring! Then, Friday night, my dad and I are finally going to get out to Brooklyn Brewery to taste some beers, then we’ll hit up Lomzynianka for Polish grub afterwards. All in all, this is looking to be a fun weekend!
