October 8 & 9

Figured out through the comment grapevine that yesterday was Victoria's birthday.
Hope your day was a happy one. Come over anytime.

Happy 26th Anniversary to Ruth & David! Too bad we can't all celebrate at a Chicago baseball stadium. Maybe next year.

Let the Redwing Games begin.

Throw Out An Octopi

In the great scheme of things a hockey game shouldn't be a big deal--but it IS fun to win! Just as we finished a rousing Friday night Happy Hour with Kate and Meg, it's puck-off time, 3 on a couch, and a huge dose of armchair coaching.
4 minutes into the game Filpulla scores our first goal.
The rest of the 56 or so minutes it's 1-0 Detroit and we try not to become smug.
44 seconds left in the game, Nashville scores.
If we had any of our 30 fingernails left, we would have finished them off during overtime.
No fear, we need only 1:48 minutes to empty the clip on the Predetors.
So here's the plan:
We're off to the farm tomorrow, to get Melissa a little GnG time. Even though we won't be back in time for Sunday's game, we'll be statisfied if that's the final cap in Nashville's a**.Chris Osgood is and Johan Franzen's the man. Would love to see if Abdelkader can throw strikes.

Jumping Thru Hoops

Let's hope basketball, not weather, will be the only reason to use the term madness, this month.

I'm going with Memphis.

My brother Ron, should probably rethink our relationship, if we don't get to Detroit this summer.
Tigers opening day = March 31.

Red Wings clinch, with a hat trick--in the 3rd. Who does that? Hendrick Zetterberg.

Wanted to say an official farewell to Dale Jarrett who drove his last race in the UPS car on Sunday

Has anyone heard from Wrigley?

By the time I tune into the first game today that winter storm warning icon better be gone.
