Caribou this weekend is a proud supporter of the Special Olympics. We are helping out by providing the glorious substance we call, "coffee."  For today and tomorrow, myself and other wonderful individuals in the world of Caribou will be serving coffee at Breck school, who is hosting the Poly Hockey State Tournament.

I always read and see visuals about what the company I work for does, and the involvement we have in the community.  To actually be part of it is pretty awesome.

Mmk.  Poly Hockey.  To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure what it was until I took some time to witness the event.  Then it clicked.  It was what we called, "floor hockey," when I was in school.  It was my favorite thing in the world.  Every Phy. Ed period during elementary and early middle school I would hope that we would play.  I actually had a swelling feeling inside and a slight urge to play again.  I like this sport.

Goalie was always my most feared position.  I was little though.  I think it was possibility of getting hit in the face.  I've been scarred ever since I got hit in the face with a golfball.  My fault entirely though.  I stood in front of my friend in 3rd grade and said, "I bet you can't hit that golfball."  No treats or money in exchange.  Just gloating rights.  Well, you can guess what happened.  He managed to hit it, and that would mark my third black eye in two week period of time (I have stairs and a baseball to blame for the other two)

These guys played hard today.  They even had me cheering on the side lines.  No team specifically.  Everyone deserves some cheering, right?  Fun for everyone.

After watching some Poly Hockey, I got myself back to the stand to serve some coffee.  I met this friendly fellow:

I didn't get his name unfortunately, but, he did manage to strike my interest highly when he showed me the Contax Zeiss lens he had with an adaptable mount for Canon EOS.  I even got a chance to play with it.  Though, I don't feel I took the time I should have when he let me mount it on my body and take a few shots.  The one that did turn out though, wow.  So crisp.  In comparison to the EF 50 1.4, the sharpness is just...wow.  Like a true film sensation with a digital sensor.  

I want that lens for myself.

In the last hour I had a little bit of fun with displaying our coffee.  I made the triforce from Zelda,  I made a large 'C' out of cups, and I took a candid shot of Steph.  Only two though.  Only one made the cut, because I'm picky ;]

Hi, Steph! :D

Awesome good times.
