Just like old times here...

I have watched 4 seconds of the NBA this year and I watched the reply like 25 times yesterday.

I finally got my cards from my parent's house this weekend. I will get a picture of the Lemieux rookie OPC card I have soon. I am interested to go through them to see what else is in there. Not that I think there is a ton of money, just haven't looked at them in 20+ years.

Big discussion on Spittin' Chiclets about this. Matthews at 18:48 vs Hyman at 18:15 in a game 7 is a joke to me.

Weeeeeeeeell, that was an interesting game....

I have been craaaaaaaaaving In N Out for months. It's been almost 2 years since I have had it and I feel like a friend on facebook every week is having it.

New phone. Who dis?

Wow, that is shocking.

We are now 7-2-1 with a goal differential of +6. We had our best game of the year, followed by 2 terrible games. I am playing and feeling better each game but definitely need to do more than skate once a week to get in shape. We have 3 lines every game and I need every bit of the rest.

No idea. I tried to find it online with no luck.

I have a 32 year old and a 72 year old on my team. Yes, 72. I would guess he is the oldest guy in the league by at least 10 years, maybe more. I would say the average age is 40 years old and 15 years of playing. Just guessing, all of the teams have 4-5 guys that have been playing for 20+ years and all of the team have 2-3 guys that have been playing for <5 years. The rest of them somewhere in between.

My team is 4-0-1 with a goal differential of +5. 4 outta 5 games have gone to OT. Nice and balanced league, which is how it is designed being a draft league. Actually works out!

My 4th game back, I tweeked the groin a bit. I blame you.

Friday's game was fun. I played with Tyler Kennedy most of the game. He's a good guy, joking and chirping the whole game. In warm ups, he asked how I liked my stick because I got one from a local company that buys them from China and puts their wraps on them. I said "Want to try it? We probably use the same size stick." He is listed as 5'11" but he's probably 5'9...5'10 tops. Same exact size. Rupp was on the other team and we matched up against his line most of the game. He's listed as 6'5" and he's every bit of it. I would have guessed 6'6" without looking it up. Both mostly

I played my first real game on Tuesday night....at 10:40pm of course. I was good for a burst per shift, but mostly glided around thinking about how out of shape I am. I scored a goal, drew 5 penalties, and we tied 4-4. I am playing in a construction industry networking game this afternoon. Mike Rupp and Tyler Kennedy are the guest players. I think there are 4 lines so that'll be perfect for me (see above).

I took my daughter (turned 3 on 1/10) skating for the first time yesterday. I didn't expect much but she was amazing. She stood on her own with very little movement, but, above that, didn't want to leave the ice. Every time her old dad had to take a break, she would repeat "I wanna go back out!" to me. She already asked me when she can play hockey.

Awesome story. Along those lines: In 2008 some college buddies of mine came into town for a weekend which included back-to-back nights of Dave Matthews Band shows. After the 2nd night, I was on the phone with some friends trying to guide them to where we were parked for some post show tailgating when my college friends ended up 20-30 yards from our car talking to a group of 4 girls around our age. Once my other friends found me, we walked over to join the group. Hung out for probably 30-40 minutes, had some beers, and went on our way. The very next weekend, I'm in line going into

You should get me now when I'm still fat! I'm around 225 now (I'm 6'1 btw), I need to get back down to 210 and maybe even 200 if I try real hard. Or stop eating like shit. Or both.

Monday was the rating session. I'm still sore so my 3 days is about right. I got drafted 1st overall though apparently. I would rather have been about 1/3 of the way into the draft so there's better competition but it seems to be a decent league.

We wouldn't be so lucky.

I remember you saying you hit up the outlets so I knew that would be a good reference point for you. I'm about 10 miles north of the outlets. The 1-2 times a year I play poker, I head to the Meadows casino right by the outlets.

I think the last time we talked about you in town, I was living by the Airport Marriott (where I believe you stayed a few times). I am now right along Interstate 79 toward the Tanger outlets (right between the Bridgeville and Southpointe exits). I haven't seen him around in a while, but check him out this week in the classic Cooper bucket at this fantasy camp: https://www.facebook...&type=3

Crazy. I will try to remember next time I am at my parent's.

It's OPC. I got it in a pack I bought for $1 in the summer of 1985. I put it right into a case and it hasn't been out since. I also haven't looked at it in probably 15 years, but I know exactly where it is at my parent's house.

Not my picture, but I have one of these (which I have probably posted about in here years ago). I have been saying for 20 years that I need to get it rated. Should I if I don't plans to sell it anytime soon...or ever? People have them listed for over $1k on ebay, but what do they really go for? The rating matters big time, right?
