Hockey

I’ve mentioned it before: my hockey league is going under. But just today the Austin American Statesman picked up the story thanks to some clever PR.

Exposure is good, especially since there is a core group of people trying to find alternatives. Like this summer - when the local ice rink takes down one of it’s ice sheets, we’ll play there. But then fall comes and we’re homeless again.

I’ve been forced to choose between ice hockey or none. Which is cool, I like to ice skate. It’ll take some time to get the legs back under me, but it’s faster and requires more skill – two perks in my book.

It’s also more costly. The nice think about roller hockey is the fees are about 35% less than ice. Roller is a great way to try hockey because anyone with skates can do it. Many of my teammates have expressed that they can’t afford to play ice.

Now if someone were to step up and build a new roller rink…

GOOOOOOOOO Round Rock Knights! That’s some great news, and I’m proud of Dr. Steve for leading the charge. One of the many folks stepping up. We offered to be the media arm.

Stalelife is gunning for this. It’s so hard to hit the mark with just one question. But we’re trying.

Columbia Blue is tied with Gold and we play the second place team tonight. Should be a good challenge.

I love hockey Tuesdays.

My hockey league will be no longer after this session. I only have six games left to win more hardware.

My only comfort is knowing that Tuesday holds other great events.

And now I want to build a new hockey rink.

Met Mike Cacciabondo in Dallas for the Stars v Blackhawks game. Matt Soble, of the Austin (soon-to-be Chicago) Sobles, was present and Charlie Begue joined us in his home town.

Chas took us to a fine tavern post Stars victory. They kicked the crap out of the Hawks, they of swiss-cheese-like defense.

Ug-o-ly.

We’re off to this 5K. Cacciabondo says he’s gonna beat me by five minutes.

That’s why I beat him 11-8 in hoops this morning.

This is for sale, right on the highway…

6th floor. Right corner. Lee Harvey. Creepy gun in ballcap showed me pictures of the bullet holes in JFK. Macbre.

So much talent, so little execution.
