The Little AC

Jonathan's hockey season is almost over. We almost perished in the ice-cold arena on Saturday in order to see his last playoff game. Missing some key players, it was a rout for the other team, but it was a good season for the boys. There was good spirit from the coaches, parents and players, and fun was had.

They will be travelling to an out-of-town tournament next weekend, but since we may not be there, I did want to get a photo of JJ with the A on his sweater. He was honoured with the Alternate Captain letter late in the season, and I needed a photo.



You see, I am often know as AC here and elsewhere on the internet, which has become the short form for Anvilcloud although most also call me John, at least some of the time.

Now JJ is also an AC, as in Alternate captain. For some reason this synchronicity delights me. I am easily pleased, it seems.

    Debbie: a rout is a win, but a big win, a one-sided win. It comes from the military where a rout was a big defeat with a disorganized retreat.

    Lots of reasons to be proud of your two grandchildren. It is so easy to identify with our progeny, eh?

    AC-Junior. How brilliant! And what a difference to his first photos of him on the ice.
