This will probably be the last year I'll be able to say that, since the NCAA stuck their snotty, snooty PC noses into our business. LOL- Well no doubt they'll get far along in the future as well. So, we'll do some bragging, too. Also - what's with the NCAA Hockey logo - they have nubs for feet - lobbed off with no skates - I'm thinking of writing a letter! While the CAPS are doing some historic DH's alma mater - Big Red - Cornell - took out Michigan last night in a great game. Unbelievable & weird officiating - there were more than 2 times as many penalty minutes against Cornell as Michigan, including a 5 on 3, during a 5 min major. So, we actually were supposed to be watching the CAPS vs Winnipeg game, but were switching a lot. Eventually just went to the Cornell game - especially after the final choking of the CAPS in the OT. Seemed the college game was about the same speed by then - they're not really IRL - but seemed so. We're happy to see that - so DH will be parading around the house wearing his little tuque - when he was the back-up goalie at Big Red - they didn't have to wear their helmets on the bench, so that is what he wore. Consequently, he cherishes that 30 year old knit cap. It is very carefully washed - and he wears it when there are tourneys here that he's officiating at in some capacity - like when we worked off-ice official stuff at the frozen four last year, or at Midget Nationals and at the Women's Juniors this year. Go BIG RED!!!!!!!!!! Ellice |

Helloooooooo! Anyone there?
Yes, I'm still here. Just trying to do too much in too little time.
After 31.5 years, my microwave finally needs to be replaced. I'm going to write GE a love letter on how well their stuff is built, and see if they would like it back to put in their museum. It actually still runs, but some years ago, someone who shall remain nameless spilled quite a bit of water and didn't wipe it up. By the time I discovered it, the paint had already bubbled and rust was starting to form. When I turned it on the other night, the rust spot was glowing orange like it was about to catch fire, so as a safety matter, I ordered a new one.

This is a discussion that has been going on for many, many years on campus but was really brought to a head by the NCAA. I know nothing about the situation with the Sioux nations. In Florida, the Seminoles and FSU have a pretty respectful situation, in that the athletes have worn jackets made for them by the Seminole tribe for many years - thus providing $$$ way before anyone thought to do the right thing. I'm glad that doing the right thing became so. But, also the Seminole regalia is attached to honor society stuff, etc - so and historically monies in some small part at least for the clothing, went to the tribes so I suspect that helped. Who knows how the truly offensive Redskins in the NFL has managed to stay as a name - that really is much the worst - imagine a team name for the pejorative color a group's skin. Really.

No doubt that's it. Ellice |
