The NHL's back
Jul 14, 2005
Ed emailed me that the NHL owners and players have finally made peace and there will be hockey next year. The question is, will the fans come? This MSNBC article has some interesting quotes. The first two sum up my feelings, especially since I immediately responded to Ed saying that we need to make a road trip to Vancouver to catch a game (there is no Seattle NHL team much to my dismay).…more

I haven’t been able to blog since last week, and it’s simply because I’ve been busy all the time. This weekend, for example, I went back home to DC for a friend’s wedding, and didn’t go to sleep before 5am any day there, and every second I was awake I was busy.…more
