starting off the weekend on a thursday

I know it’s Saturday, but I felt like writing about the time honored tradition of starting the weekend on a Thursday night.  It was considered ‘normal’ to do so in college, but I’m not so sure that’s the case years later (I’m not telling you how long ago I graduated).  This past Thursday I decided [...]

now i remember why i stopped playing hockey

In Saturday night’s game I was hit from behind.  Of course the ref missed the incident entirely.  At least I think that’s what I hoped happened, but I am inclined to think it was seen and ignored.  The end result was my head hitting the ice pretty hard.  My head is fine, but my neck [...]

how you get to be #1 in our league

To get the top spot in our league (hockey) you need to A) be the favorites of whomever is officiating the game and B) feature a couple of ‘ringers.’
I cannot stand ringers; players who are clearly way above everyone else and playing at a level they should never be playing.  I can sort of respect [...]

bar review: the summit steakhouse

This place definitely ranks up there as far as being one of the stranger places I have been to.  The Summit Steakhouse is exactly that – a steakhouse.  However, there is a bar attached to it.

another crappy breakfast

Every other Friday one of the departments is responsible for making breakfast.  It’s kind of a [...]

as expected

There was a response.  Inquiring minds wanted to know what she wrote, but I deleted the email immediately.  Permanently.  There’s no point in reading what she wrote.
…just when I thought things were over, she then sends me a forwarded email from her work.  Great.  I’m still on her ‘list.’  I was tempted to write, “Knock [...]

it’s done

Eventually I just decided to give in and send an email.  Here is what I sent:
Hi,
Sorry to leave you hangin.. things have gotten extremely busy at work with one crisis after another and me covering someone’s desk for two weeks.
I told you that I wanted time to think about things and I have done that.  [...]

it’s not over?

I actually commented the other day that I felt my situation was over.  The last time I really ‘talked’ to N was last Sunday when she sent me a few instant messages (I think she literally sent me four).  I responded to each one, but kept the responses short.  None of the messages had anything [...]
