Hockey for Southerners
I'm happy to report that after a weekend chock full o' coding, Stink almost has a lab that runs. Although if I hear another piano rendition of "The Plough", I think there might be a little bit of throw up.
After finishing up for the day on Saturday, we headed over to Laura and Mark's to meet Brianna after her Christening. That is one cute, cute kid. Very happy. Laura's brother was also up from Atlanta to enjoy all the snow and hockey that Canada has to offer. Which led to a conversation about Southern hockey. Which led Tim to list a couple of pro hockey teams located in Georgia. Which led to the conclusion that, while Southerners may not know much about hockey, they 'shore do know how to name their teams.
My Favorites:
The Florida Everblades
The Louisiana Ice Gators
(hee hee, took me a minute to get that pun)
And the coup de gras:
The Macon Whoopee (hailing from Macon, Georgia)
Note the Whoopee's team logo (it took us a few minutes to figure out what was going on with the birds and the bees).
These are all pro teams to boot.
And now I'm pumped to go watch the Leafs play the Kings tomorrow evening at the ACC with Michelle. My first NHL game. Unbelievable. How is it that the Brit has seen more Leafs games live than I?

Because I'm just uber-cool.
You should count yourself lucky to know me.
Yes, you may bow down and kiss my feet now.......
I can't believe you got to be at my neice's baptism and I didn't! That sucks. But she is one gorgeous kid. Runs in the family, as you well know if you've ever seen Alan, or The Boy.
