Junior Mania Produces Headache

Sometimes I try to do too much. Watch a game while listening to another. And when you try to watch two games while listening to two more games, well, the brain finally decides enough is enough.

Which is a safe way to explain how migraine headaches make a visit to the Lounge from time to time. I had two laptops, an iPad and the HD monitor working the games this weekend. With ear pieces to each laptop, I had two feeds of junior games while I was trying to watch two college games.

Just for fun, I threw in a few AHL games during a lull, just to fill my night. But that led to a headache that left me enjoying the darkness of a dead Monday in hockey across North America.

But while I was among the living during the weekend, I managed to listen to several of these games. It was time well spent, uhm, for the most part.
