Updates

• I did make it back from Denver. I managed to get the very last seat on the very last flight to Nashville on Sunday night, and got home around 3:30 in the morning. There were several people that did not get seats and, based on the announcements that were made, they were probably going to have to stay through Tuesday morning. I was prepared to stay if I had to, and was actually a little disappointed when they called my name; a couple more days in Denver would have been nice. The kicker, and ultimately why it was a good thing that I caught the flight, is that my luggage had left on the earlier flight that day.
• The dry air in Denver, combined with a two-hour plane ride back into Pollen Hell, has left my sinuses reeling. Should you have to go out there, see if you can get a humidifier for your room, and just stay out there until after pollen season passes. Use my misery as a cautionary example.
  
• Madison Square Garden betrayed me. For almost the entire game, no graphics appeared on the Jumbotron exhorting the crowd to "Make Some Noise". I was ecstatic. I hate those displays. Then, with ten minutes left to go in the game, what should appear up there? "Make Some Noise". It was heartbreaking, but at least the crowd ignored it.
• MSG is the seventh NHL venue I've visited, and it ranks up there as one of my favorites. I've been to: Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Anaheim, D.C., Detroit, and New York. So I'm slightly over 20% of the way toward my goal of seeing all 30 teams in their home arenas.
• There were no NHL games going on while I was in Denver, otherwise that list would be slightly longer.
• Currently, there are no trips on my schedule; I hope this changes very soon.
