Hockey the way it oughta be
Wait, wait, wait. The Blues blew a series lead, blew a lead in Game 6, were playing against Chicago . . . and still managed to win the series? Who do they think they are, a non-cursed team? -
Dentists and modems and cabbages and kings
We went to the dentist last week. KJ had fewer cavities than she expected, which pleased her ( Read more... ) -
Pretty sure that wasn't legal
Went to my first NHL game ever last night! KJ and I both had a lot of fun. The Blues beat the Red Wings, no thanks to the ref missing a hand-on-puck in the Detroit crease.
D-day minus two, and I'm most of the way to being ready! (I hope!) -
Often Reaching Out (a.k.a. "And then she turned into a hydra")
Got the cover art + title picked out for the litmag yesterday. Very pleased that we settled on the cover I wanted. Pleased with the title.

"Duuuude, you drive like my old man!"
- A recent study has found that, among other things, a cell phone conversation degrades the performance of a 20-year-old driver to that of a 70-year-old. Ha!

On hockey (and baseball)
I tend to side with the owners in the hockey lockout. Player salaries are getting past ridiculous in all the major sports really. (But so are ticket prices, so if the owners do get their way we'd better see those tickets getting cheaper within a few years ;~). However I don't much like the idea of a salary cap in hockey.
