Thanks Betsey! Yes having Marianne's support both as a friend and an oncology Nurse is a blessing.
As for Barbara, it is a disappointment to say the least but what are you going to do. Reminds me of the song "Love Stinks" by the J. Geils band - "You love her but she loves him And he loves somebody else you just can't win." Anyway, so my Match experience goes on for longer than I hoped. I have faith and confidence that it will all work out in the end.
As for the hockey stuff - the CAPs are holding their own in their division since everyone but Pittsburgh [censored]! Of course it's still early and who knows what will happen. Enjoy the ride the Avalanche are having and as long as they aren't playing our CAPs I wish you well!
Let me know about the game. I'm fine with just going to a sports bar and catching it there with you and Merrick. It might be easier. You can message me in the "alt (my RL alt)" if you want and we can work out the details, either for tickets or a place to meet up.
