As people get older, one of the most common bits of advice they tend to give the younger generations is that you make your own happiness. You figure out what you need and what you want, and then you pursue it. This is especially important if you are fortunate enough to have the [...]

The days are a series of tasks to complete, or objectives to meet. Maybe this isn’t such a bad way to live. Except… I often feel as if I am hurtling through the day, the week, the month. Things happen to cause change, but I don’t realize, until long after our [...]

My left eye exploded today.  Or, at least, that’s what it felt like.  I turned out the lights in my office, popped another Excedrin Migraine (Oh, Excedrin Migraine, where have you been all my life?) and whimpered.
Then, it rained like a motherfucker outside and the pain went away.

What will happen tonight?  Will the Canucks wipe the ice with the Stars for the amusement of Vancouverians, or whatever people who live in Vancouver are called?  Or will the Stars emerge victorious only to go to the next round against the blood thirsty Red Wings?
Why, I do declare, less than four minutes left in [...]

I more or less blew off the whole diet thing this week, but I got lots of good old-fashioned pedaling around the lake exercise. I’m calling it even.  

I couldn’t put the kids to bed before 7pm tonight no matter how much I wanted to, so I am just now really watching tonight’s game and holy guacomole! the Stars are up by 2 on a (as yet) shut out game. This is really great. Chances are good that Turco will [...]

1) I hate mushrooms.
2) I hate cooked spinach, but I eat raw spinach frequently and I often chop it up really fine and “hide” it in marinara [...]

Oh Excedrin Migraine! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!
I woke up this morning barely able to peer out of my left eye, swollen as it was by what appears to be a Quasimodo-ish allergic reaction. And then, my head began to pound. I came into work with [...]

Perhaps I am employing a certain degree of pessimism, but I expect tonight to be the last night for the Stars to play until the pre-season starts in September. It’s game 5 of the quarterfinals. The series score is 3 Vancouver, 1 Stars. Vancouver only needs to win tonight’s game in their [...]

Lord Stanley’s Cup
8 minutes left to regulation of game 4 of the Stanley Cup quarterfinal play-offs and just as it is almost over for the Stars, so it is too (potentially) for Marty Turco and Dave Tippett. 
Oh no wait!  Darryl Sydor – or is it, Brendan Morrow? – just scored at 7:31 left to period [...]
