No. It does not look good for the Blue Jackets tonight. This is a bad loss. Even on the road, where they have not won in years - the defense fell apart. Modin is made of cheap glass. It's going to be a very intense race to the playoffs ( Read more... )

We ventured up to Polaris through a surprise snowstorm and deteriorating roads to visit The Pub. Another in the latest series of faux UK theme bars ( Read more... )

Nope, I did not give the Blue Jackets a chance last night. With seven starters injured (including Rick Nash) and a makeshift lineup, it would have been a massive task to go toe to toe even against the Capitals on the road. The Caps were 18-1-1 at home going into last night's game ( Read more... )

off to watch my first old firm game with a group of people. this should be interesting. may learn a few new chants today.

it's only me going, emma's still sleeping.

Actually headed to work today. If I get there early enough I can leave early. It's a matter of getting N. up and ready ( Read more... )

And his name is Angus Young!

Oddly enough, Em's got us listening to Back in Black. I've been deconstructing the lyrics, much to her annoyance. (Just how does he put his love into her? What does he mean?) I'm ruining the rock and roll thing for her.

the three hounds upstairs were awake. it's a very interesting noise the ceiling makes. they move in synch, it's really cool to watch them. i was up about ten minutes before them ( Read more... )

Saturday morning we were headed out and I heard this hissing sound in the backyard. Had no idea where it was coming from. Looked up, and there's a hot air balloon barely over the trees. There was some sort of balloon festival at Beulah Park.

So much to get done this week, and it's barely started.

Emma and her bag arrived home safely and on time.

Tonight I had my first drink of Absinthe. It was at Eleven on the short north cap. I could have had it straight, in a mix of gin and vodka, or with some sparkling wine. I opted for that. The drink was called the Green Fairy. It came in a champagne flute ( Read more... )

Emma and I went to IKEA this morning. Quite the place. Very overwhelming. While I do not mind home furnishing stores, this can be too much. Just followed the line on the map. I mostly looked while she picked out a bunch of stuff ( Read more... )
