Rolling With Changes

Annabelle and I were playing downstairs this morning. I was multitasking, you know making lunch, putting the dishes away and playing with AEB. Anyway, I was making some noodles on the stove when Annabelle stood up in the middle of the living room and toddled all the way over to me and gave me a big hug around my leg. I couldn't believe it.

She is also learning to use a spoon and a fork. It is a messy business.

My ex-best friend forever, Marian Hossa, had the game winning/series clenching OT goal today for the Penguins (versus the New York Rangers). I miss him! He's been a monster this playoff season. All true Thrasher fans die just a little bit every time he scores a goal for another team.

A Moment of Silence

For Bob Hartley, who took the fall today for the Thrashers' 0-6 start. He didn't deserve it.

What is a Friend?

Do you believe you have to have met someone in person to call them a friend? Please post your comments below. Yes, yes, I know you, my dear readers, and I know you don't like to comment, but I really want to know. So gosh darn it! Click that "comment" button below and tell me what you think. You can do it anonymously if you wish. Don't make me come badger you in person.

Annabelle has gotten so cute. I recommend checking out my photos of her if you haven't done so lately.

Finally, the Thrashers dropped another game on Saturday night. They had victory within sight, but fumbled at the goal line, so to speak. That's five straight losses. Ugh.

Argh!

Oh Thrashers! This is getting ridiculous. Not just losing four of four games this season, but getting shut out 6-0 by a team that had not yet won a game. Congratulations! You now have the worst record in the league.

In other news, Nana and I took Annabelle to The Forum today and strolled her around. She's just too cute -- everyone said so.

Thrashed

Oh Thrashers!

You've dropped three straight games ... and you've only played three games this season!

Marian is hurt, that makes it tough for Slava to carry the entire team on his back, so why not give him a break? If your name is Jim Slater or Ilya Kovalcuk, you're not on the list of shame today. If you are any Thrashers defensemen or Kari Lehtonen (goal No. 1) -- you most certainly are. If I was the coach, I'd make you skate laps.

That is all.

Good things

Good things in my life:

Neen, Annabelle and all of our wonderful family and friends; I love you all!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the Atlanta Thrashers are pretty wonderful too!
