Few sporting events are more exciting than NHL playoff hockey.
Mother and I went to the playoff game, which ironically featured Dallas playing versus Las Vegas. We decided to go all out with opposite team jerseys.
Than fans around us were great.
Terrific seats, and a great game won by Dallas, which eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights to advance to Round 2 of the playoffs.

S&D Oyster Company (Restaurant Review)
This is my mother’s favorite restaurant. We go to S&D Oyster Co. each time I visit. It’s a carbon copy of the best New Orleans cuisine, and certainly the best I’ve tasted anywhere outside of Louisiana. If you visit, be sure and ask for the outdoor patio garden seating in the rear. Crowded in evenings which is why lunch is recommended.
A little bit of trivia: Actor Owen Wilson used to wait tables here.
Today’s brunch:
1. Six Oysters in the half shell with Tabasco and horseradish, each on a Saltine Cracker.
2. Cup of Creole Gumbo.
3. French bread, real butter.
4. Finely-chopped Cole Slaw with Cayenne pepper.
5. Hand-cut French Fries.
6. Rainbow Trout perfectly fried in delicious corn meal. 2 hush puppies. (homemade tartar on the side)
7. Two Rum Runners.
I’m not sure what Mother ordered. My face has been buried in food for the last 45 minutes.
10/10
Though I have no regard for religion or the Catholic Church today, I don’t run away from my part connections and memories. On this trip, I returned to the first school I attended in Dallas.
