The world is full of strange people...

Try this person. I KNOW my wife has enough trouble with me, why would she want multiples?

Then, if that doesn't make you feel better, there's always this guy.

These people are procreating. Seriously, the gene pool needs some chlorination folks...

Tub Time...

While the youngest was taking a bath:

Mom: Shout up and see how that child is doing
Me: Kid? How are you doing?
Youngest: Fine.
Me: You haven't drowned yet?
Youngest: Nope.
Mom: Ask if the kid washed hair yet...
Me: Have you washed your hair?
Youngest: Yep.
Me: How 'bout your butt?
Youngest: Nope.
Me: Well, start thinking about it. You need to get out of the tub soon...
Youngest: Okay.

(count 1, count 2)

Youngest: I've thought about it...Nope, don't really want to wash my butt...Can it wait a little while longer?

@#$%...

Say what you will, but the Captain has been incredible. He has led for years by example. Whether he retires after this or not, he has brought many incredible moments. The Wings played 40 minutes of some of the most incredible hockey and truly didn't play the last 20 minutes. Legace, while not stellar, played about as well as you can expect of a goalie. He made the saves he needed to make. This game, more so than any of the others, the rest of the team failed to make the plays in the last 20. Horrible mistakes leaving players wide open and leaving Legace to make impossible saves. Edmonton didn't deserve to win - they came in and took every game they won. They made the plays when they had to - across the board. The Wings finally played dump and chase very well, but not for the entire game.

So, Captain, if you choose to go, you showed in this game exactly why you'll be missed. Other players need to step up and get the job done, and once again, they didn't. For the rest of the boys, in case you didn't know, the season is made in the playoffs, winning the Stanley Cup - not the President's trophy.

The long wait until next season begins...

What a day...

What is a sport fan to do when both of his favorite teams are playing at the same time? Why, utilize the little known feature of his TV - Picture in Picture. In so doing, I was able to watch both the Wings and the Pistons while both teams dominated play.

Let the good times roll...

Better than TV

There is a reason I put up with it...but sometimes, I have trouble remembering it...

The other night, after working hard, I settled onto the couch to listen to my MP3 player. I have an iPod with a stand, and in this particular case, I put the stand on my chest and laid down to rest. The rest of the family (at least those not already in bed) were playing cards and having a good time. I guess sleep overcame me...to the joy of the rest of my family. They all stopped what they were doing to point and laugh.

Seems that once I fell to sleep, the iPod and its stand started moving to my breathing making it almost seem to dance. I awoke to being laughed and pointed at. I was more amusing than cards, tv, or any other distraction. Glad I'm needed, even if it is for amusement only... ;)
