It does feel good, at least for a half. But the thing was, at halftime, I really wasn't worried about me scoring.

We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain.

But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.

We've really focused on trying to make this event something that the whole family can come out and enjoy. While the husband is off looking at hunting and fishing exhibits and the wives are off looking at home improvement displays, the kids can be checking out the fine entertainment we have booked for them this year. And with ticket prices costing just $3 for adults and $1 per child a day, it's very inexpensive.

That sounds like a pretty cheap day of fun to me.
