SB, Do you mean to tell me not one of those illegal Guatamalan YAPsters in your basement is a gourmet chef? :confused:

And YES, dinner at Chez Shot is quite a treat given how superbly my wife cooks. I'm extremely lucky to be so well fed. :)

Sadly no, which is part of why I had to let them all go.

Good morning, Lodge. Another cold, wet, and windy day in 231-land. Making spinach and tomato pasta topped with crumbled feta for dinner tonight.

Good Morning Lodge.

Its Friday, thats good. I feel like going home and sleeping already, that isn't so good, it could make for a long day.

Morning Lodge.

Speaking of sick, I was doing call-outs for the youth hockey association last night and one of the lowest ranked names on the list is one of the top players in the age group. Son of an exNHL player and on the top line of the top team last year. He missed all the grading sessions with H1N1. It'll be interesting to see where he gets placed if he can't skate in tryouts. I'm sure he'll get drafted by the second or third team picking no matter what.

Well, you can't really hold getting the flu against the kid. Its not like he blew off the tryouts.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 84: Steal This.

Morning, kids! There is light at the end of the tunnel. I met with an admissions counselor at Mass. College of Pharmacy this morning and talked about my game plan to get back into school full-time. She gave me the *thumbs up* and we talked about the best pathway to take to get what I need accomplished. :) Definitely a step in the right direction.

Then I got to work and opened up my gmail account and found out that ESPNU has been added to my cable package! :D

Today might be a good day.

Absolutely. And no one wants to see him on too low level of a team. If he were to fall to a B2 team, he would score 6 goals a game. He's a first year peewee now and this is a ridiculously strong group of kids so he may not make the A team in any case. We actually should have two A teams this season as the group is that strong. If he and some of the other A squirts from last year are on B1 teams it's going to be a bloodbath at district tourney again with an all Edina playoff (unless the district puts Edina teams in pools together).

Two years ago the state final in B was Edina white versus Edina green. We're going to have 1 A, 2 B1, 4 B2, 5 C teams. :eek: We'll likely have many teams with 80%+ winning records due to the strength of this group.

My kid'll be a C player again.:o I just hope he gets a good coach.

Unless you're planning on taking over Panama and the Panama Canal to have your self crowned Queen, that's not a good excuse to miss the Final Four and the shenanigans that will be going on this year in Detroit. ;)

How do you know I am not being crowned as Queen. Stranger things have happened in my life.

Hey now! It's only my job to know that stuff. Psh... that's the last time I'll be nice to YOU about knowing entirely too much transit stuff. :rolleyes:

Well the good thing about the transit department knowledge department is that you are just as dorky as I. So safe on that front too. :-P

That looks like one of those things where, when you're back on say page 18 (that'd be me) you think, It'd take some work, but I could move way up!; and then when you're on page 1, you're probably like, What am I doing with my life?!? :p :)

Yup that was me about in maybe 2002. But it took a looooooooooooong time to come off that first page.

As Greyeagle will point out, we could lose a bunch of these kids to BSM, STA, AHA or even Shattuck. So you may want to wait and see where they enroll for high school first (of course they could pull an Anders Lee and come back after winning an A title with STA :) ).
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 84: Steal This.

I was looking through the INCH thing on incoming freshman this year and found a name I recognized. My 3rd cousin (I think....mom's cousin's son) was one of the freshman goalies listed. Kindda neat.

No, but I heard Bree Evans had a head on collision at homeplate. :( Unfortunately, those are the only details I heard.

Yeah I heard it was pretty bad. I was going to ask if you had any information. I think some people said as they were taking her to off the field she was moving her feet so hopefully every thing works out.

a quick search found this on mgoblog:

Sounds like she slid head first into home and hit the catcher's shin guards

Second hand reports say she was moving her legs today and possibly even walked.

FWIW, your mom's cousin's son is your second cousin. Your third cousin is a grandchild of a grandparent's cousin.

If not that would probably go down as the strangest and worse injury I have ever heard of in softball. I don't understand how you slide with enough momentum into the catchers foot to knock yourself out and especially to create the type of trauma that would paralyze you or cause serious damage.
