On the wagon

Okay, I'm going to do my best to get back on the horse here. Spring is coming -- the promise of better weather, hope abounding, and all that crap. I'm not going to make any promises about the frequency of posting -- as I've unsuccessfully done before -- so that I have nothing to hold myself to. Working 60-70 hours a week, going to school, and trying -- desperately -- to maintain a social life all conspire to keep a brother down. I'll post when I can, but more often than not I'll probably throw out quick links to other blogs that I feel are worth the read. Oh, I almost forgot -- now that the Olympics are done, it's down and dirty time in the NHL. With about a quarter of the season left and a whole rash of teams in the playoff hunt, it should be a fun stretch drive. The trade deadline is one week from today, but don't look for a whole lot of action. There aren't a whole lot of teams with a ton of cap room to play with; plus, the cap is still new so I'm guessing that the dinosaurs, I mean GMs, will have trouble wrapping their abacuses -- what's the correct plural here, abaci? -- around bonus money, pro-rated contracts, etc. The Flyers play the Rangers, whom they trail in the standings by just two points, tonight at the Center.
