And thinking about maybe hitting roller derby this weekend if I have a car!
Oooh.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG. I just heard my boss asking what time our staff meeting is tomorrow. They have been at the same time since I started, which is before my boss started.
Seriously.

Did y'all hear the owner of the Blackhawks is threatening to sell the team if the NHLPA hires someone like Goodenow? All over blog land I've seen comments like "Yes! Please!"
Well, much as I sympathize with people ready for Bill Wirtz to go away, I do think another Goodenow would be disastrous for the NHLPA. I think he was the #1 person to blame for the way the player strike went down, and it set pro hockey back a decade or more in terms of market penetration and TV contracts.

Punishingly Intricate
And you can say you were there at the beginning. It just goes to show you that being tipsy for your first interview is not always a bad thing.
Me too! Me too!!! Yay, Megan! I knew you'd wow them. Of course I'm sad you're leaving this coast but I'm out there at least once a year so I may end up seeing you more after you move then I did before.

Ooh ooh!!!!
I highly recommend getting tix before the bout because they tend to sell out and, also, getting there super early (mostly because we start playing at 6 exactly and will be muscled off, and boy can those girls muscle!, as soon as our 1/2 hour's up...um...if you want to see the band...).
As for moving cross-country, it's been over 10 years now but when I moved from SF to NC I drove with whatever fit in my Corolla and shipped everything else (which was mostly books) UPS. It worked pretty well. Fairly cost efficient and nothing was lost or mangled in any way.

Hee!
Although, yeah, I agree with Matt.

UPS also used to charge a $5 flat fee to come out to the house and pick up all the boxes there -- I dunno if they do that any more, but it meant no schlepping.

I don't know enough about Goodenow and what led up to the Year Without Hockey, I was just a baby fan, having only started watching in January 2004. But the reaction reminded me of wank on lj where someone threatens to Leave Fandom Forever as a sympathy bid, but everyone rejoices.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I fear hockey is now that boy you kinda keep around in case you need a date at the last minute.Ah, Nascar. My methadone for the times when the pretty open wheel cars aren't racing and I need a vroom fix.
