Tam’s Think Tank

The Chase, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

We went to a Portland Lumberjax game last Friday night at the Rose Garden. The LumberJax, for those who might not know, play lacrosse. Lacrosse is a game much like hockey, only there are no skates, no ice. It’s all running and running and hurling your lacrosse stick and sometimes whacking your opponents with your lacrosse stick and running and hurling the ball at a tiny net with a huge goalie guarding it and more running. Very fast. Lots of action. We went to this game not because we suddenly had the urge to learn about and watch lacrosse. No, we went because one of our good friends had the privilege of singing the National Anthem before the game. He was awesome. Getting to learn about and watch lacrosse ended up being a bonus. Who knew we’d like it? Certainly not us. But, we did.

The photos and commentary follow this as you scroll down in the blog are a sort of overview of the sites one might see at at Lumberjax game. You should go. It’s really entertaining.
