Ethan's first Lightning game

Ethan was my Valentines date to the Lightning game tonight and he didn't disappoint. He cheered often and loudly (if somewhat unpredictably) for the Lightning and for goalie Ben Bishop in particular. He also, due to serendipity and cuteness, got on the Jumbotron, a lifelong and still unfulfilled wish of mine. It was free visor night and when he started to cry that we had somehow missed out on the flashing red hearts not one but two people sitting near us offered theirs to him. A bout of crying later on got him a free Eastern Conference Champions commemorative puck from one of the concessioners. And we got to take a picture with the Moon Man. It was a very strong start to what I am sure will be a lifelong love of hockey.
