Just got my call this morning, and apparently I’m doing a show this weekend. Four performances in three days, doing what I normally do for hockey games for a monster truck thing. Should be interesting. Now to fill in the next couple of days with something other than sitting in front of the TV!

The sun was out all day, and it’s comparatively warm…but I want more! This is the time of year with which I have a love/hate relationship. Love, because it is getting warmer and the days are getting longer. Hate, because it’s not going fast enough! I think we’re down to about four inches of snow in the yard, but I want it all gone now. Patience may well be a virtue, but it is not one I happen to possess.

First, let me say congratulations to Team Canada’s women’s hockey players! I didn’t get to see all of it, but what I saw looked like it was a pretty darn fine game, and y’all deserved the win. Now on to men’s hockey. While I know that Finland and Slovakia have exceptional teams (obviously, or they wouldn’t be there), my dream is to see another USA vs. Canada gold medal game. We’ll know after tonight, so good luck to all those participating!

In case that doesn’t make sense (I realize I’ve been talking about hockey since the season started), I should point out that the AHL team I work for has been sucking BAD the last month or so. Last night there was actually a real game on the ice! Tons of goals, tons of fights, and we actually WON! Here’s hoping we can do it again tonight.

The best part about working hockey games, aside from the fact that I get to see them, is that while I’m doing routine maintenance on my system I cannot do anything else. So, I figured I might as well spin to the left and do a post while I wait. It’s a good thing we defrag monthly, or this thing would be an absolute nightmare.
