At the ripe old age of 31, I became a rabid hockey fan.
The Willful Caboose is partially a response to the outcry against the sports content on my other blog, Oh For Fun!. I didn’t want to drive loyal readers away from Oh For Fun! with my compulsive hockey yammering, so I needed some new internet digs. And here we are.
After six years of living in WNY, the Sabres finally got under my skin, and as a result, the city of Buffalo suddenly felt like home. Despite growing up in Minneapolis, I’d never seen a single hockey game until I moved to Buffalo. It turns out, I love hockey. I really, really, really love hockey. As of this writing, I know very little about hockey, but I am determined to learn. The Willful Caboose will chronicle the infancy of my Buffalo sports obsession.
I’m the dim-witted caboose, bumbling along at the back of sports fandom. I don’t know what I am talking about, but I don’t mind. My strong opinions are based on pure whimsy and instinct. I am the Willful Caboose.
Wish me luck. I’ll probably need it.
