So, today I'll remember that it was raining.

I'll remember I went to a friend's father's funeral.

I'll remember that my friend's father is now buried in the same cemetery as Ava Gardner.

I'll remember that another friend's father was in the hospital with a concussion with no real progress, so we were asked to keep praying. I have known this friend and her family my whole life. This friend was also laid off her job within the last month.

I'll remember that it was the day after my dad had knee replacement surgery.

I was at the funeral and traveling back to Durham during the Arsenal vs Bayern Munich Champions League match, so I completely missed seeing any of the match.

I think I'm completely justified in completely breaking down into tears when I saw that Arsenal has lost 1 - 3. 

I hit my breaking point.

The tears were for my team, my team's manager, who people want ousted and want to see Arsenal lose just to feel justified in wanting Arsene Wenger ousted, my friends, and Phil, who was just out walking around South Tampa as he always does and ended up in a hospital bed with a concussion.

So, I guess the Tampa Bay Lightning wanted me to feel good about one thing.

They managed a 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs for their second win in a row.  That came after losing 6 straight games after starting their season 6-1.

I know all of my teams can't win all of the time.

But, Arsenal needed this win today. We, they and me, needed that something good.

So, the Lightning won. I'm just still sad that it's only me that got that something good.
