My parents are staying here tonight so they can take me tomorrow. They've been here an hour and are driving me nuts. Sitting here trying to watch TV with them and my mother is talking to me during the show. She does that all the time.

Family drama time.

Two of my brothers (I'm the youngest of five brothers) were arguing over my mom's Hummel collection. My oldest brother had given her the majority of them over the years, and thought that made him entitled to them. My youngest brother (4 of 5) wanted to hold hard and fast to the idea of selling them all and splitting the money between all of us. The rest of us didn't really care what happens with them, only that we didn't want to see a fist fight break out - unless we had our movie popcorn ready. I called #4 today after talking with #2 (#2 and I are the co-executors of the estate) to see if we could get him to back off before bad blood really starts to flow and something extremely stupid happens. I tell #4 that #2 and I did the research, that the Hummels aren't worth all that much money, that going through the process of selling them just wasn't worth the effort. Well, he tells me that he's not really after the money. Instead it turns out that #4 took that stance because he thought that my oldest brother had taken all of the baby pictures my mom had and wasn't disbursing them to us. I told him that he was mistaken, that #1 never had pictures because he would have had to come through me to get them in the first place, and that just hadn't happened (my mom moved in with me for about six years before going to the nursing home). My mom was excellent at packing/hiding things, and I still haven't found everything that I know should be in my house somewhere. He finally relents, and the Hummel hostages have been freed to go to #1. Finally.

Lo and behold, while on the phone with #1 after the #4 conversation, I found the old photo album tucked that had the baby photos. Crisis absolutely averted now. Holy Mother of Flying Spaghetti Monster, this whole situation just sucked. And the whole argument is partially my fault, somehow, because it's coming up on the one-year anniversary of her death and I wanted to close out some of these things. Oomph dat.

Not me! I learned my lesson b/c of that!

Well, ok, not really, but that still amazed me that I got suspended for posting a picture (stealing bandwidth) when USCHO was hosting the picture I posted.

Morning Lodge.

HBD to Mavsy and mookie!

Tryout scrimmages for Jr tonight. It'll be interesting.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Morning, Lodge. Going beer hunting later today, and my FFL league might get together tonight for a little reunion (we rarely see each other as a group outside the annual draft and title game due to families/locations of residences).
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Good morning Lodge. Happy birthday to mookie and Mav! Hope you enjoy your days.

Here at the hospital. As per usual, we got nothing weather-wise. Just a lot of rain. And by the time we left for the hospital, the sun was out. And I'm not sure if the weather report scared people to stay home or not, but there was hardly any traffic. So, I'm here way early. Glad to see they have free wireless here. What an unpleasant experience this is. I'm starving, too. Not sure how many of you Lodge peeps have gone thru this. It's just kinda gross.

Good luck.


My boy is in limbo. He's in the "bubble" according to the head coach.

The kids were made aware of the bubble and of the kids in it, my boy is the top. I don't say this with dad goggles on either. There have been teams that my son has not made and when I looked at the roster, I had no argument - all the rest were better. Not this time. I watched all of these kids last year and mine consistently outplayed them - some by a WIDE margin.

Coach is telling (selling) my kid that he may need him on JV as a sorta captain as that team will need help. Funny they didn't bother to give us (JV) help last season when we were overmatched. He's also saying that he's trying to figure out what to do with the kids that are older than my son, but inferior in ability.

What? This is varsity high school hockey. You suit up the best players.

Either way, my boy will suit up for most varsity games, but it's important for him (and us) to have his hard work and play acknowledged. In addition, the JV coaching is crap (seriously just stand behind the bench and do ZERO teaching) and practicing day in and day out with varsity players as opposed to JV players (some of which are benders) will do wonders on his development.

Anyway, should know more in the next few days.
