Fantastic!

Really enjoyed Fool. Grabbed another one of Moore's books.

http://i.imgur.com/39ZFAeE.gif And the stretch run has started. Good to have the NHL back. Is anyone else tired of these outdoor games? The last one for the year is Sat night. Hawks/Pens. I don't care for this Stadium Series they ran this season. Starting to lose it's appeal for me.

I'll see if I can round up some pics from that trip. All my suff is in boxes currently.

On a side note Barely, if we ever become friends & do this trip together...don't bring the guitar.

When we finally set up camp on day one, we hit the water to go find some dinner. 30 min later I dropped my brand new pole into the water and then proceeded to fall out of the canoe trying to retrieve it. Lost the pole, but I was able to get back into the canoe without toppling it over along with all...

Mike Florio was on the blower this morning with the Chicago sports talk hosts (McNeil & Spiegel). The hosts were pretty confident that if Arizona passes this law that the NFL would pull the Super Bowl from them. Florio thought it was a little late in the game to do this. The owners meet in the n...

I just bought my permits for a trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area - a beautiful chunk of wilderness on the Canadian Border in Minnesota that's remained largely unmolested for the last 70 years. If any of you are familiar, I'm going into Snowbank, up to Thomas, and back down the 4, 3, 2, 1 cha...

First job interview since 1991 tomorrow morning. Stomach in knots with 21 hours to go.
Put a new battery in the vehicle yesterday and it wouldn't turn this morning. Having the starter replaced now.

Calgon, take me away!

My day started with a dead car battery. Had to get that taken care of this morning so I didn't see any of the game. Looks like I had the better day.

Both of these medal games should be really good. Go Canada. Hopefully this is the last Olympics for the NHL. I'd be pissed if I was an Islander fan... "Are the IIHF or IOC going to reimburse our season-ticket holders now? It's a joke," Snow said. "They want all the benefits from NHL p...

Great cover of AC/DC's "Up to My Neck In You". Rest of the album is pretty good too. Stumbled on it this morning w/Spotify.

I believe so

Been awhile since I've read any fiction. A good friend recommended reading some Christopher Moore. Finished A Dirty Job which I enjoyed, but I'm laughing my ass off with this book. Very funny.

Crazy finish. You have to play to win, not play to not lose.

That game tomorrow will be a lot of fun. USA/Canada just dropped the puck for the women.

We are on day three of temps in the 40's. (western 'burbs of Chicago) Had a thunderstorm roll in early am. Streets were closed due to flooding. Getting the kids to school was a bit of a chore. Pouring rain right now. Still can't see the grass/bushes anywhere. My best friend right now is the sump pump.

Loves me some hockey starting at 6:30am. Great game today. That being said, I just can't stand the shootout. Hockey doesn't need manufactured drama. I don't understand how you can play a game for 60min bustin' tail as a TEAM with 6 on 6, then bring it down to 5 on 5 for OT, and then we come down to ...

Safe travels everyone.

Not sure if Slipkid posted this in the ABB thread. My computer just couldn't handle that page one.

I knew the early '80s were not kind to the brothers, but holy crap.
Skip to the 44 sec mark. Ouch.

You can listen to "Revival" from the upcoming live album here:

Didn't catch this last night, but the ABB board said Derek Trucks was in the owner's skybox last night

I'm not sure if it's what you're getting at but it seems like he's still pretty highly regarded. Personally, I was never real big on what's come to be known as hair metal but as a Sabbath fan I was paying a lot of attention to what Ozzy was doing back then, especially with those first two solo reco...

Randy Rhoads falls into the great "what if" category. I can't imagine him lasting much longer in that environment with Ozzy being out of his friggin' mind at the time and Randy being a teetotaler. Speculation of course, but he had a name for himself at that point. Heavy metal was about to ...

There's a yeast joke in there somewhere, but I'm not going there.
