Happy Holidays!

It’s hard to believe (and cliched to say) that 2006 has zipped by so fast. To already be writing Christmas letters, addressing holiday cards and doing all the shopping just seems odd. At least it has finally gotten cold, although perhaps a little too cold for it just being December. Yesterday morning it was 18 [...]

Pool Day!

We are watching a lot of pool sports while we’re here for some reason. Today it was off to Water Polo and some of the finals there. I’ve no idea the rules of the game, other than you need to score goals, but it was still fun. We watched a couple of matches, one that [...]

My What Big Muscles You Have

Wizards vs. Toronto

It was just like Vancouver all over again… Toronto was a tough team and we went down to them 5-0. First period was the first with two goals in the first couple minutes, after that we found our defensive strategy against them and allowed only 1 more goal in the first period, none in the [...]

Score!

I wrote on Monday that I really wanted to hear my name over the rink PA system and today I got it twice! In the first period I scored the Wizards’ first goal of the Outgames and got to hear “Wizards goal scored by number 97 Jeff Adams assisted by number 8 Kevin Battistelli and [...]
