First, the HR lady gave me bad directions. Second, she looks at my resume and says, “Oh my, we have an opening for a junior person and I can see from your resume that you are qualified for a senior position”. They did have a senior position that was opening up in a few weeks though, apparently one of their admins was…

I thought he missed the shoulder check and decided to throw out his elbow to “finish the check”. It sure looked like a deliberate elbow to the head to me. First, Kucherov’s helmet immediately flies off so it was obviously a very high hit. Second, you can see his arm sweeping through the air after he hits Kucherov so…

Here’s the scene; my first date after almost ten years of marriage. I’m nervously leaving the young lady’s apartment when she realizes she has locked herself out. She decides that we had better take care of this right now before it gets too late. Her super isn’t around but she knows an easy way to break into her…

Just added to the long list of “Things Canadians Can’t Do” at number 9,956; Insult someone.

Correction: No one likes the Canucks. The best we can hope for in a series involving Vancouver is that their fans get angry and set each other’s cars on fire.

Coors was invented for sloshing away a good burn. The two just go together.

My problem is that Mr. GoAheadAndTryIt doesn’t wait for anybody to answer. We just go.

ground beef + bermuda onions + Paul Newman's Spaghetti Sauce over fresh pasta with garlic bread on the side and lots of a good red wine. The only ingredient that is really important is the red wine.

I have trouble imagining spending more than about a thousand dollars on any one thing so I put everything in terms of monthly expenses. I might look at the costs over a five year period for something like buying a car vs leasing but in the end, it comes down to what I can afford to do in one month.

I went to a very long info session today about my company's new Eco friendly waste disposal system. At the end of the session, I realized that the upshot was that we were all going to be taking out our own trash and whoever actually picks up the trash only has to make one stop per floor instead of going to everyone's…

I like shootouts too. I don't have the patience for sudden death overtimes and ties just suck. 60 minutes of hockey is plenty for me. I like the present NHL system a lot. Four on four hockey is always fun and then there's always a winner.

No, if there's a 4 on 3 and there's a penalty, they (in the NHL) put a player on the ice. It happened last week in a Bruins game.

I've always been a little cheesed off with USA Hockey for not setting some sort of geographical boundaries for national youth hockey playoffs. I mean, who cares if Little Casear's beats the Junior Ducks? Maybe some parents and a couple of college recruiters. I think that people would watch at a national youth…

Nope, the whole puck has to get over the line. There has to be white showing for there to be a goal.

I'm surprised no one caught the actual play call.

Pretty much. I feel like we're even for the Giants beating us but that's it. I think God still owes us one more.

These "cut the cable" articles also leave out phone service. My phone service from Comcast has been a lot more reliable than Verizon ever was.

MCT is a backpacking staple!

I got one word for you, Linux.

Mac and Cheese. The cost varies because it's one of those items that goes on sale frequently. If I'm feeling large, I throw in a can or package of tuna fish. I call it MCT.
