1. I've basically spent most of the last 72 hours alternately taking cold medicine and sleeping. The only thing I've been awake for is the Aeros game last night against the OKC Barons. (Holy crap, Matt Hackett, keep making saves like that, 36/37.)

2. Someday soon I might finish reading Sean Pronger's Journeyman and have something intelligent to

1. I listened to part of that game was very impressed.

hope you're feeling better soon.

NyQuil is my friend. Basically I just slept and got up and took medicine and watched hockey til I fell back asleep from late Thursday night until yesterday afternoon. Now I'm just grossly congested. I feel like I've been sick A LOT this winter. :(

Some of Hackett's saves were AMAZING. And the goal against was such a defensive fuck-up. Marincin was coming out of the penalty box and managed to catch a sloppy pass, brought it into the zone for Arcobello to saucer in behind Hackett, no Aeros jerseys anywhere between them and him.

LOLing forever at the teenager-or-younger girls seated behind us, though. "He took off his mask, OMG he's so CUTE!" "MATT, WE LOVE YOU!" "No way should a guy who looks like that be single." "Wait, their goalie is gone. Is that legal?"

Feel better!

Are you more prone to colds/congestion since you had bronchitis and/or pneumonia a few years ago?

Also, it's foolish, because I know that being sick is not necessarily linked to weather, but I associate winter colds with winter weather, which HTx doesn't really have.

I went to the gym and ran, and that actually cleared my sinuses. It was gross, but I feel better.

I don't know if I'm more prone to them, or I just pay attention to them now. In retrospect, I had a fever before we left for Bonnaroo, and probably the camping in the rain (it was relatively cool that year) and being around people smoking didn't help when I was already sick. The other thing is this: I think that the air quality w/r/t to the refineries and smog here have a definite long-term affect on lung health, including keeping the immune system of the lungs active and forcing more allergies/cold-like symptoms.

I would imagine, without reading the article or the quote, that Rockford's coach meant the players care about one another, which is why there was a MELEE!

:D

Is it wrong that I wish I'd been at that game? Ha ha! You don't usually see that kind of epic fight at the AHL level.

I got to see the Great Zamboni Debacle, instead. Ay, me.

Man, the video is hilarious. So many players hugging each other to keep them from fighting, and then three pairs of players actually fighting, so that the linesmen and refs can't get to everyone at once.
