Happy Birthday to an Awesome Dude

Guest post by Mike

Tomorrow, April 10th is one of those special days that should be celebrated by all humanity, for a Great Man was born on this date.

A man well known for his friendly attitude, his dry, sarcastic wit, and his sense of humor, but also for his great capacity for caring, sensitivity, and patience.

Personally I feel like I've known him my entire life, and honestly even though he's a little older than me I am constantly impressed at how hard he pushes himself and his many accomplishments.

If you are reading this blog, you know this man and count him amongst your closest friends. So join me everyone in wishing him a wonderful, glorious, well-deserved special day!



Happy birthday Steven Seagal.

Happy birthday.

(oh and apparently it's also some other guy's birthday, so happy birthday to him too.)

:: Game 7 ::

In the moments after Trevor Linden scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period, and then again after the final horn sounded and CBC cut to a shot of Roberto Luongo, alone in his crease, stick held high among 19,000 screaming towel-wavers, I for some reason thought of a scene from the forgettable Keanu Reeves' movie The Replacements, when coach Gene Hackman is asked by a sideline reporter what it's going to take to win the game:

"It's gonna take heart....Miles and miles of heart."

And now, I must sleep. Goodnight Moon. Goodnight Stars.

(and yes, a long overdue post is coming, which will cover the activities of the last few weeks. I promise. But not tonight.)
