The Other Day

A second reminder… we will be closed on Thansgiving as well as the day after Thanksgiving. But fear not, that’s not all you have to read today! The other day, and by the other day I mean on a crisp fall evening back in 1991, Joey Kocur of the New York Rangers appeared to shoot a hockey puck literally through the net. The NHL had recently adopted instant replay and what I’ve just described is exactly what the replay suggested. However, there appeared to be no holes in the twine. How can a hockey puck travel through a net without breaking it? The goal stood, but it remains a mystery I at times still ponder. The other other day, and by that I mean this past Sunday, I made the best garlic bread of my life. I made meatballs too. ...

To Our Health!

Well, friends, the New York Rangers are out of the playoffs, so as far as I’m concerned it is now officially baseball season. At least it’s May. For the past few years in my mind baseball started somewhere between October and January. I chopped off my handlebar mustache this morning. It just wasn’t working like it did a few weeks ago. The left side, it looped out instead of up. Someday it will be back. I would write more, but a health inspector just walked in… yikes!

Destiny

On Monday morning I stared Destiny in the face and a single tear drop fell from Her eye. I’m serious. Destiny is my cat, and I capitalized “her” to be tricky. It was pretty strange, if not poetic, and definitely highly appropriate given a sequence of events that has occurred this week. The latter of those events revolves around the fact that somehow the New Jersey Devils are the Atlantic Division Champions, and the New York Rangers, who never trailed the Devils until last night, now sit sixth in the Eastern Conference. The good news is the playoffs start Saturday and the good guys face-off against the bad guys in the first round. I’ll be doing everything I can to keep Destiny smiling! It’s time for a hot dog. Now THAT’S a...

Pittsburgh First

Last night I was at a hockey game- quite possibly the last one I’ll attend in Pittsburgh this year. In light of that, I’d like to take this opportunity to plug Pittsburgh First, the organization behind the plan that proposes a new privately financed arena in the same neighborhood that Mellon Arena is currently located. Check out their website. Consider signing the petition. The way I see it is this. If slots are coming, here’s to having something much more useful bestowed upon the public in conjunction and for free. Like a state-of-the-art multipurpose arena! Perhaps I’ll have the chance to attend hockey games in Pittsburgh for years to come.Perhaps you’ll have the chance to see that band that never comes here because...
