Laura's babble

For those of you who were at Breakfast Club last week, you were witness to a bit of history in the making. Keep your eyes peeled this weekend, which is the weekend of “Hockey Day” in case you didn’t know. Fox Sports Detroit will be featuring certain “human interest” stories, and one of them is about your benevolent blogger. Yes, you read that right, hockey fans, we were filmed and then interviewed a few days later about the history-making event coming this summer. Namely, Laura and Michael are getting married, right here on the ice at good ol’ Suburban Ice Farmington Hills. Our gift registry will be at Perani’s, but of course.

When you consider the distraction that is bound to happen when your every move is being filmed and you’ve been mic’ed so that your every utterance is being recorded, it’s amazing how well I was able to do the drills. Joe said, actually, that the pressure of the cameras made me perform a little less awful than usual. One thing that we’re all doing less awfully at is keeping our heads up. Seeing the ice. Not just that little patch next to your feet, but that whole great frozen expanse full of team mates and opponents. So until next time, keep your head up and your eyes on the goal.
