Sunday Skate Sharpening

 

What The Hail?

That’s what we all said last week during a weirdo weather front that dumped sheets of rain and hail over most of Ohio (although I’m starting to think it stayed directly over my house) and melted the iceberg-like mounds of snow, but washed away some bridges.  Enough.  Spring, just happen already….Winter, you’re done.  See ya.  Sending you down to AA, pal.  At least the roads are clear and it’s easier to get out of my driveway.

What the…HELL?!

Is what we all said watching the Blue Jackets come up short again and again last week.  Loads of opportunities: breakaways, penalty shots…power-plays…you name it.  And it ‘s the playoff push.  No, it’s not the end of the road, but it’s kinda damn close.  Hate to say it, but Jacket fans get the saying, “Deja Vu all over again” all too well. 

And Just For The Record…

I loved seeing Dorsett beat up that little punk from Edmonton. 

Working Out Like A Player 

It’s been a little over a month.  I feel better, move better and look better.  There were gradual changes all along but this past week I’ve really started to notice the difference in energy, stamina and strength.  My balance is better.  The scale has moved…depending on which one you want to believe ( mine or Dynamic Performance’s) and I’m dropping sizes.  I’ll have exact numbers and measurements on the anniversary of my start date coming up…along with photos on my Fire That Cannon Facebook page and this site.  I’m ready to add the next step in the nutritional part of this project.  I attended a seminar at Dynamic Performance and look forward to beginning the meal replacements and supplements.  I’ll have more details in the upcoming week as I start the program and if the distributor will ever return my calls.  In love with the stuff, but having trouble with the contacts…I plan on splashing the name all over if I could at least get a smoke-signal…a carrier pigeon…an echo. 

Java Update

My coffee maiden at Java Jan’s will meet me in person in a few weeks to go over details of me losing my “virginity” at her coffee house.  I will use my special cup, only one like it in the whole world and certainly Blue Jacket land…I will share photos of my one of a kind coffee cup next week on Tuesday Timbits.

The EHL

I introduced my EHL page last week, you’ll find it on my dashboard.  I will from time to time, give you updates on everything having to do with the EHL.  One of my pals told me, “All that hockey…your day will be loaded with testosterone.”  I told her, well it is mini-mite hockey, so it’s like testosteroni.  We have 3 mini-mite events today…getting my hockey fix a la little dudes.

My Facebook pages are up and running, or should I say, skating!  Still new, but lots of good stuff.  You can follow me on Twitter as well…I “tweet” during CBJ games…and randomly as the mood strikes.
