It seems like this is the time of the year for birthdays in our family. Today Fitz is seven years old – and he’s every bit the boy when it comes to what he enjoys. It has always been about cars – fast ones, orange ones, big ones, small ones – he loves his cars. But this year add cards and specifically hockey cards to the mix. He has a binder and he’s organized them into each of the teams of the NHL. Of course he loves the Oilers! And especially McDavid.

I was thinking when I was seven the great players were Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull. Whenever the ball and hockey sticks came out we were one of those players.

Well happy seventh birthday to Fitz.
