Play Solid Hockey One Game At A Time

When I was walking back to the garage after putting out the garbage this morning, I looked up and saw my little girl’s sweet face looking down at me out of her bedroom window and it made my day!

Even if politics bore you, you have to read this because not only does it give insight into how out of control this administration is, but it’s great drama. It reads like an episode of The Sopranos, except the Sopranos have more respect for the rule of law than the Bush administration does.

More shadenfreude today as the Sabres face playoff elimination tonight. Here is a remarkably detailed and well-supported argument of why Randy Moss is a bum:

My nephew’s motivational speech to the Sabres is on YouTube and has over 1,000 hits in the past two days! I guess some blogs have linked to it and are generating a lot of traffic. I could at least do my part! I’ve added Jackie’s YouTube collection to my list of permanent links. If someone in the family was bound to be an internet rage, I’m glad that it’s him.

I saw a funny banner ad today for a dating website called Chemistry dot com. It shows this chick who looks like she’s ready to go to some trucker bar and she has “Rejected by eHarmony” stamped on her forehead and the caption is “Maybe it was the bangs?” Chemistry dot com is the “sister site” of Match dot com, so the difference has to be just pure marketing, but I think it’s pretty clever. I guess you have to differentiate yourself, and it seems like they are doing it by trying to make eHarmony seem snobby. The people on those eHarmony commercials look pretty plain to me, but it’s an interesting idea. I hope it works in Canada, because maybe Evangeline Lilly can finally find someone:
