I was in disagreement a lot with the judges tonight. And I was disappointed by my personal fave in this competition. But yet there was some great stuff going on tonight too. Here’s tonight’s rundown, in order of performance:

The Wizards wrapped up their fall season last night with a huge loss to Hegemony (0-8). The higher the score got, the more the team seemed to fall apart. We had bursts where it seemed like we’d at least get on the board, but it just never happened. At least we got to playoffs though, [...]

Among the show’s creators were Monty Python’s Eric Idle and along with Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, they created a [...]

A very simple hockey weekend with the holiday. I went to a very over crowded Ronnie’s this morning (near 40 people on the ice for the drills). It was a good time though. Laurie and I stayed paired for the drills and that’s always a good time.

It’s always great to find a new place to eat and we made a great discovery today. I got turned on to Dell’Anima by hockey friend Jamie, who I saw last week for the first time in months. While we were catching up, he mentioned that he was a partner in a restaurant that opened [...]
