Wednesday, February 10, 2016. 645pm @ Dover Ice Arena, Dover, NH - Goffstown @ Dover. This afternoon, it hit me. Not the thought that the Goffstown Hockey Team was finally hitting the ice for a game after a 10-day layoff, but the fact that I would be in Dover again. See, in my feeble mind I attach events, emotions, and memories to surroundings, to songs, to the places where I felt the strongest Continue Reading...
