In the wake of what's going on in the Gaza, I sinply found this pic and wanted it posted here.

Happy Birthday Baby! And just think of the hockey acquisitions on our nation's BD...should be fun.

Some very recent photos of the very manic yet personable Hiram:

The Future??? A gutsy move made by Puffy today. Sign's Luongo on as a franchise for reasonable money in a trade that's iffy. Only time's gonna tell, but I predict overall I'm gonna like it! Now about that JoVoCop............

Well, Vancouver was swell to me as always. Saw the NHl entry draft, golfed in a marvelous tourney, ate some great grub and spent some quality time with Doc and mr. Brown. Truly couldn't have asked for anything more, even watched the bidding go to $200 and then got to shave Geo's lid! Priceless.






Alas, a wonderful trip to Vancouver, not sure how George feels about it though!!!!

A dewey night in Wells Gray Park For Tommy's Stag:

Shouldn't this jersey say 'Cloutier'? Unreal push to the finals huh? I'm neutral, but as exciting as this final is going to be, I think Carolina has more Canadians on board, so maybe they ougthta win??? Could care less, just wondering when Puffy's gonna hire a damned coach???? On another note, it's a good thing that Toronto is signing such sensible contracts! Will it be JoVo to go with his sure to be enormous contract, or Bert, Cooke or Morrison? Linden's overpaid and the Sedins need resigning. But all I'm hearing tonight and rightfully so is of Carolina coming from WAY behind to defeat the Oilers and maybe take out the magic story which is/was Roloson to boot. I should care more, but I find myself wondering if the Canucks of next season will be wildly different, or a forgery of last season's club under new helm?

Remember The critter from Caddyshack? The nemesis of Bill Murray's character? Well I've got a little story for you. Golfed at Rivershore the other day, where I didn't play particularly well, but had fun as I was with some great friends and truly striking it pure. However, we came to the eighteenth hole, a 520 yard par five. The wind was behind us, and I wanted to cut the corner left and really smack the shit out of it. Let's just say I didn't get all of it, popped it about two hundred yards on that left line. Walking up, I thought the ball would be out of bounds or lost for certain. But alas, good karma I suppose (NOT!), I found it wedged below a sagebrush. having no shot whatsoever, I take my medicine and decide to play out sidways. I have no forward shot you see, the only shot is to advance the ball out to the right a few yards and get on with it. I took my stance in this god forsaken weed and actually got a good swing on it, and hit the ball just as I'd hoped, out to the right a few yards. But, what do you know, gopher hole right there! My partners were wondering what the hell I was up to as I dove after my ball directly after contact. That's right, a six dollar golf ball scores a hole in one down a varmin hole. Unreal eh? So after the laughter subsided, I dropped another (carefully as I was near the chasm that is gopher land), and crushed a three wood to sixty yard out. Front pin got hunted hard by my lob wedge, and a one putt for a bogey. Thus concludes the story of the best bogey of my life! Really made me kinda hate gophers though.
