What’s Up

The post season is here

It’s Stanley Cup playoff time, and since my beloved Stars are already on vacation I have to pick other teams to support (temporarily). So here’s who I’m rooting for: Not-Vancouver Not-Pittsburgh Not-Detroit, and Absolutely-Not-San Jose. I’d just as soon see the NY Rangers not progress very far, though Brad Richards has been much too gracious […]

Pass me that hanky

The last few days have been a little odd. For no reason I can see, I’ve been really emotional. Teary, weepy, start-sniffling-without-warning emotional. I’m not sure what the reason is. This emotional roller coaster has seemed downright hormonal but, frankly, it’s been a few years since I had to worry about that. There must be […]

Tweets

Last thing on Sunday night I thought I’d share some of my favorite tweets. I thought these were especially funny or at least entertaining. Plus one link at the very end to a remarkable and very cool video clip. @SportsSturm (Bob Sturm): And now with more insight on the Tebow trade let’s bring in our […]

Don’t you wish you were eating with us tonight?

After two weeks of only minimal cooking (and sometimes less than that), I’m finally feeling like I’m rejoining the living. and we’re having a leftover cleanup night. I’m about to: Try to reduce the chicken pasta red sauce that was way too thin Throw together some rice patties (my first ever) from the leftovers of […]

I don’t mean to be so boring

Sorry for the long periods of dreary dullness, but the fuzzy parts of my mind that are conscious are pretty much absorbed with thoughts of inhalers and pills and cough syrups and nasal sprays, and their corresponding schedules. Seriously, I don’t know why what should have been a plain old cold has wiped me out […]

I’b sick

I woke up in the wee hours Sunday morning with a scratchy throat and cough. I couldn’t go back to sleep, and since then haven’t really done much more than doze off before my coughing wakes me up. (This situation is about to improve, however. I got a prescription for the Magic Elixir of Life, […]

Great googly moogly!

My friend Joe keeps saying that I need to go to work for the Dallas Stars. I keep telling him that they already have a lot of knowledgeable people doing a lot of different things, and I’m really not sure there’s really a place in the organization for me. I mean, there’s nothing I know more […]

Go, Suomi!

Cracked.com, hands down one of the best sites on the Interwebs, has another brilliant entry today,. I’m going to learn how to pronounce and spell each and every one of them, and begin using them immediately, but I’m especially pleased to report that the the word ranked Number One is Finnish. I have some modest, […]

TV is my life

Well, it apparently kind of is my life, in that we watch a lot of it. That’s kind of how Rich and I spend time together in the evenings, sitting in the living room, him usually casually browsing on his laptop and me knitting, watching TV at the same time. Yes, I know, it’s mindless […]

I love that Wandell guy, too, or, a happy note in a dismal game

Just about the only highlight worth mentioning from last night’s lackluster performance by the Dallas Stars (love you guys, but, really…) was the couple of times Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick (yes, really, Quick, and Daryl Raugh proclaims it the best goalie name in the NHL) got startled by Dallas Stars #23, Tom Wandell.
