Fuck I love Edmonton and getting to be here full time with my family. The snow is amazing, cuddling into a puppy/cub pile in front of the fireplace with EVERY family member is just the best thing to have.

Rumors of my signing in Russia are being greatly exaggerated. I never thought some blurb, about me of all people, would get such serious attention. What I actually said was "There is no way I will play in Russia. I would rather retire." Something got lost in translation and it's been run with. I realize that the entire world doesn't know this great ( Read more... )

Yeah, Shawn and I had plans to go to our cabin in Colorado for the All-Star break, to keep ourselves naked and snowed in the entire time. And while Mother Nature cooperated, Mother Cindy had other plans. On Tuesday, baby William was born and I was blessed enough to get to be there. It really couldn't have worked out any better with the break ( Read more... )

Man, how fucking sweet is that, Pup and Bear both having great nights. Shawn got the game winner and so I called him up to congratulate him. Apparently I surprised him.

Went to Montreal and Michigan for a few days on my own. Then Rus & I went to Tampa for a few days, for the anniversary of our win. I had hoped more of the guys would have been ( Read more... )

My time in Pennsylvania is about up. There's only one place that I've been asked to so I'll be heading to Michigan tomorrow. Don't know how long I'll stay there but it's either Colorado or California after. Mountains or Beaches. Hopefully I'll get to see Marc-Andre every now and then, I know I'm gonna miss constantly being with him ( Read more... )

So I've pretty much ferreted away with Marc-Andre the past few weeks, going on months I'm sure. Keeping him company is the only thing I want to be doing right now so I'm happy with that. He'll probably get tired of me eventually and kick me out. *chuckles* But really, who knows when I'll have this much free time again. I can't be blamed if I want ( Read more... )

Could someone please explain the snow that got dumped up here? cuddles up with Mo* and Marc-Andre under a fleece blanket
