Productive Sunday
Today was a productive one. Stripped the floor of the sun room, started re-tiling it. Bought furniture for it. Replaced the screen on the sliding door with nice pet-resistant screening. Did a bunch of laundry. Cleaned both liter boxes. Phew. Hopefully the sun room will get finished tomorrow before we go to a friends for a little BBQ. Good ( Read more... ) -
Lord Stanley’s Cup
Tonight the quest for the Cup reaches it's final stage. Representing the East is the Philadelphia Flyers, a team few people ever considered to be a contender. After coming back from a dramatic down 3 games to none to beat the Bruins in 7 games the Flyers have shown they have a team chemistry that makes them tough to handle.

The Conference Finals - Predictable and not so
The NHL Conference finals begin a little later today with the Western Conference kicking things off at 3pm EST. While I really thought this was Vancouver's year to shine, I'm not entirely shocked that the Blackhawks were able to handle them, even after getting devastated in the opening game of the series. It's that predictable One seed versus the ( Read more... ) -
Good to be home
The beach was a lot of fun, and it was great seeing family (it was also great getting plenty of time of other people holding Gabriel so we got some time to ourselves... can you say HOT TUB!).

NHL Playoffs, The Second Round
Well there were only minor hiccups in the West for me that didn't stop me from getting 4 for 4 on my picks. The East, however, is a different story. Who would have thought that going in to round 2 the highest seed remaining would be the number 4 seed? Who would have believed that all three division leaders were eliminated in the first round?

2010 NHL Playoffs - The First Round
It's that time of year again (actually, games are going on as I type this because I've been thrown a little off my game with arrival of Gabriel and all), time to take a look at the NHL playoffs and see how things are going to shape up. The regular season was a wild ride, especially the final weeks as several teams were battling for a few remaining ( Read more... ) -
Qualifying Life Event
I can't believe that its been as long as it has since I last updated here. I had been on quite a roll, but in my defense life got a little bit topsy turvy. Gabriel was born on March 4th and since then life has pretty much been in chaos. It's been the good kind of chaos though.

Flickr
I used to think, "Why the hell would I ever want a Flickr pro account? I barely ever take many pictures. Regular Flickr is fine." Amazing how having a kid changes all that. I've taken several hundred photos in the last couple of weeks (well, probably only 30 or 40 worthwhile ones... with my point and shoot I take dozens of pictures of the same ( Read more... )
