Thoughts

Watching the All Star Game tonight bought back memories of just how much down hill it has gone downhill. It just plain sucks, It seems like Gary Bettman is trying his best to ruin it. A live band during the player intro's that was horrible, a boy's chior that sounded like they were all gay to sing the US anthem and some broad I have never heard of to do the Canadian Anthem, And the whole marching band in the second intermission what are they trying to do with that it's not a halftime show. The game was ok, the usual no defence, no hitting, a ton of scoring. I felt bad for the goalies who seemed to get hung out to dry most of the game. It would be nice if someone would at least throw a hit. oh well back to real hockey in a few days.

That Green Bay-NY Giants game was one heck of a finish, I was hoping Green Bay would pull it out. Oh well looks like the Pats will get a rematch with the Giants, If it's anything like there matchup at the end of the season it will be a heck of a game, GO PATS!!!.
I've figured that next winter I want to get back into coaching hockey It's been 12 years since I've done it and I figure I've learned more about the game watching it since I was last behind a bench, I have alot of knowledge about the game that I'd love to pass on to youngsters, and the message I had coaching ball to the kids seemed to work well and with the right coaches working with you, you can really teach kids the fundamentals of the game, but as every year goes you have to be adaptable to change, I know what worked last year with the ball team and I want to make a few changes on how I handled some game situations, and the one advantage to this years ball team will be Most of last years kids will be back for another year so I know what thier strenghths and weaknesses are and I can work off of that, now getting that plan to work for hockey shouldn't be to hard right?

I guess the old man was right.

When My Dad still roamed this earth he spent the majority of it driving longhaul, sure he tried to retire but as he always said, It was in his blood. Fast forward to now, I was working as a longhaul driver up until about a year ago when I got a local gig, It was a one year contract with a service and after a year it would be up to the company to hire me on, well with the contract's end coming up and no word on my future my heart is slowly pulling me back on the road. I miss going to differeent places, I was thinking about all the different companies I've drove for over the years and all the places I've gone and how much I enjoyed going to them, Laredo was a place I loved going to and miss. My perfect job would be running coast to coast in Canada or doing Laredo runs. Soon my future pondering will hopefully be done and Yes Dad was right.
