Holy Cow

Ok, so been about a month. Lots of things to get caught up on. One of the major reasons i haven't posted in so long is currently rolling around on the couch, fussing and making noises like hes gonna wake up.

So, i am currently on "transition leave" which means i am on vacation from work, and on the last day of February, i am out of work. Well, retired from playing army. So i have been looking for work, and wow, things are rough out on the economy. Something i never had to consider really before. So ya know, if ya have any ideas/recommendations/opportunities... :)

been playing for my two teams the last couple weeks. Such complete opposites. With one team (ANCRD) we are undefeated, my GAA is right around 1.25, and we are having a blast. I go into the game with a light mind, full confidence in my team, and knowledge that we should/will win the game.
The other team (Static-X) we lost all 10 games last session, my GAA was like 7, and i look at it as an opportunity as a learning experience.

I have been thinking about the difference in the teams, and i think i may have found out some of it. ANCRD is made up of guys who think about hockey, watch games, try and learn etc. Static-X is a bunch of guys who get together and drink beer, play some hockey and drink more beer. At one point in the last game i noticed 4 of my players were all inside the center face off circle, chasing the puck and covering no one. So yeah, when their d-man slapped it into our zone, it was a 3 on 1, and they scored. Again. Sigh. But, at least i get a helluva workout, have fun, get to think over what i need to work on, improve and such. So there's that. I just have to remember to not take it personal and get too worked up when we get beat 9-1. Yes, that's an average, but what can i expect when we only take 8 shots on goal the whole game?

We may get a win this friday, since i talked to my buddy tony who plays in net for the team we are playing. Evidently his team and their opponent decided to have a bench clearing brawl last week, so his team will be short quite a few players for the next couple weeks. 50 year old men in a beer league brawl. Dammit, why couldn't i have been there to see that? LOL

ok, so ya'll can see (if you haven't seen them on facebook), here are the twins (they are working on their smiles....LOL)

Oh, and its -15 today. Ready for summer and Harley riding....
