Legendary freshness…

What other people think of you is really none of your business…

— Nigella Lawson quoting someone else on QTV Bold

At approximately 15 minutes before puck drop,

between The Vancouver Canucks and The Capitals,

in Washington D.C.,

I had a pre-game pep talk with Coyote…

I found her middle of the pitch n’ putt,

at Queen Elizabeth Park,

teeing off,

in a patch of late afternoon sun…

And as she sat back on her haunches,

scratching her belly,

she had only two words on her mind…

And what I heard,

from a flock,

flying high over my head,

was something about a wild,

Goose chase…
