Midnight Hockey

Wednesday night last week in the middle of the night I heard the screech scratching on the hardwood floors. It continued until 3 am.

On most nights its just the cats rolling around and having a wrestling match or two. This night it was a strange scraping around. Sometimes Georgie, the white mannx batts around straws. I thought to myself.. yep he has a straw.. back to sleep.

In the morning I was getting ready to go to school and my Wayne Gretzky cat had used my glasses as a hokey puck and glasses were no where to be found..

I looked everywhere. Finally in the heat of having to leave for school, I gabbed an old pair in my desk drawer.. I don't know how many years ago's prescription...and off I went. They are aviator style glasses. At my prescription level they are pretty heavy. I can still see very will with them. In fact I think that they are a bit strong.

My students in the morning classes noticed right away. The afternoon classes.. no response. Some of my morning students felt they were an improvement.. booo.

The glasses are still among the missing.. despite my scouting efforts.. I hope they are not out in the garage.. : (
