heading to Jean Kane’s house for birthday dinner and Christmas Eve
Colleen and kid one at CSI exhibit in St. Paul, kid two at neighbors – time to finish Christmas prep!
curse you Facebook games – third night in a row I’ve seen 2AM
Watching the Wild while the kids play Twister and the wife reads Newsweek – I’ve raised a poor MN hockey family
Taking the family to Macy’s downtown Minneapolis for Santa & dinner
lunch at Mickey D’s, followed by some last minute shopping
(hopefully) meeting with the Integra Telecom guy in a few minutes
Updating computers at HSRA Minnesota
Lunch at Matt’s Bar with Colleen
Heading to Trader Joe’s and Zantigo in Woodbury
not a bad day when the first shower of the day is at 4pm
worst headache tonight that I’ve had in a while – and now my cough woke me up at midnight too
There are about 25 people in line at the 24-hour airport post office at MSP tonight
mini-blizzard outside while I work the hell out of the washer and dryer today
Scramble on Facebook makes me feel stupid – how can I possibly miss so many words each time I play?
fun time at the party – thanks TC!
HSRA Christmas Party at Cherokee – I’m 10 minutes late and still the first one here
working from home today before the big work Christmas party tonight – reminds me I need to go get a secret Santa gift
had a productive day at work, but the cough is coming back strong – the humidity at Wise feels good
tried to perform surgery on Bryan’s MBP to re-seat the airport card, but was unsuccessful
This game was at least fun to watch:
- Gabby was sluggish and noticeably holding back his effort, but still was a big factor.
- The reaction from the crowd when he hit the ice was mixed from where we sat – boos mixed in with cheers.
- I’ve always felt Boogaard is more of a liability than an asset, but tonight he was awesome. A great hit and a great punch.
- It’s really fun taking people to games that have never been to the X before.
- The Wild seemed to be in control most of the time, but still have trouble winning battles along the boards and showing any break-out speed. Is there a need for better conditioning?
- Another current weakness: holding the zone at the blue line.
- The game winning goal by Bertuzzi was amazing, despite causing us to lose the extra point.
- The Wild emailed warming house members a coupon for 25% off at the Hockey Lodge, so I bought a new soft helmet hat that will cover my ears when I need to shovel again later this week.
Just checked the calendar and I don’t have tickets to another game under March. So sad.
fun time this afternoon when all my servers dropped off the internets for about 30 minutes – bad power outlet on our gateway switch
heading to First Tech to drop off an iMac
feels good to be back in the office – now I just need to make sure I don’t over-stress about how much stuff there is to do
I now feel about 60% physically and 90% mentally, so I guess I’ll try going back to work tomorrow
