Last evening, for a change of venue, Slippy, Beff, Coogs, and I went to the Boulevard Grill to watch the game upstairs. Not a big TV, but that'll do pig. I grubbed a yummy caesar salad, which I've been craving since the good ones I experienced on the last cruise.

I'm so happy to have won the way they did - staying out in front the whole game, and putting in an empty netter to clinch things (much as did the c-smoker from Detroit a few years ago against the Canes). Rest assured the jersey is hanging outside my cube today for all to see.

I'm also rather exuberant today because I got an A on my first paper for this semester! WOOT! Now to get in gear and crank out this week's assignment (week 4) and really buckle in on the mid-term assignment due in week 6. A good distraction for a short period from the fact that I am now, officially, without hockey.
