Family Playoff Pool
Just for fun I set up a playoff hockey pool under 6 teams: Doug, Dale, Jamie, Troy, Jenn, and Lisa. It was just something I did for my own amusement, but I thought I should let you all in on the drama. Right now Mom has moved into 1st place displacing me (who dropped down to 4th) and Jamie is holding steady at 2nd. Jennifer had climbed from last place to third and Dad and Lisa are struggling.
I tried to pick teams that were fair and I made a couple of mistakes. Not that anyone would mind by now, but I hadn't given anyone Sidney Crosby. There are some other key players who didn't make the cut. Also, I gave dad and I the same player... didn't even know you could do that.
Any calls on who you think will win the cup? My guesses are 1) Rangers, 2) Sharks, 3) Sabres.

Advertising, what a pain in the...
I wanted to send this story off to you readers. Matt asked me after a commercial on TV, "what is Viagara"? Unsure as to the correct way to address this question, my response was "It makes your thing work". He just nodded approvingly of my answer and then nothing was said after.
We went to Ryan's lacrosse evaluations last week. We were standing in the lobby watching through the glass at the boys playing a game. When all of a sudden one boy got the lacrosse ball (very hard rubber ball) right in the place where it would hurt the most.
Matt says out loud, "Man that kid is going to need Viagara"!

Your chance at Last Minute
I had wanted to send a picture of the boys after the evening that they won Tuck Idol (the name of their school is John Tuck), however, I didn't have the digital camera, I had the cam corder.
Anyway, here is the Band. Brandon (guitar), Sheldon(drums), Ryan(bass) and Chris(guitar).
