I don’t know if it’s an ADD thing but I’m with you. I just don’t see the point. My husband is a die hard Leafs fan and every now and then I try to watch a game with him. I almost always fall asleep.

When we first met I kind of got into for a bit, sitting and drinking a beer and cheering and all that. But after a couple of games I started knitting while I was watching. Then I started sitting at the computer playing games and only glancing at the screen occasionally. Then I just lost interest completely. It was kind like been there, done that, now what?

I went to see the Blue Jays once and was bored out of my mind and glad when it was over. I’ve been to a couple of minor league hockey games and spent more time watching people, the lights on the scoreboard and whatever else I could find to watch and trying to think of something to do. Go to the washroom, go get some popcorn, go get a coffee…

I feel embarrassed for the people with the makeup and the goofy costumes who are obviously so drunk they don’t know that they look like idiots. But I think the whole point is that they would rather be playing but they can’t so the next best thing is to watch the games and wish it was them.
