Good morning, Lodge! So far, finished a load of dishes, a load of laundry, made breakfast and coffee, went for a 40-minute tempo run, and fed the cats. Anything else need to be done?

Les,
I had thought that you started birthday threads for Lodge members. The fact that you did not realize that Boosh is a Lodge member indicates that you have some other criterion for starting birthday threads. Is it just posters whom you know?

I need a ride to the doctor. Not looking forward to going (I hate doctors) but since I can't shake whatever it is I have, it's time for some professional help.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 98: Favorite Alter Ego
Thanks... 3rd day of a fever of 100-102 with no other symptoms so I'm guessing it's not the flu. Plus, I've been sleeping 18-20 hrs a day. I have COPD (emphysema specifically) but I don't think that's the problem here as my breathing hasn't been affected. This whole thing has me a bit on edge...Bummer
Hope you get better soon

Luckily you would never miss someone as important as Ralph though...

Thanks for the rep, and I think you're right.
That'll work too.I won't slap you, but you'll get a nice left jab. And that's if I'm pleasant. Hey, I'm a good friend, I don't want to kill ya.

Morning Lodge.
Tried to e-mail you but your profile says you don't take e-mails.
I agree some with both. Clearly youth hockey in Minnesota, at least, has too many games. One downside to too many games is not enough time for unscheduled activities, like pond hockey. There are some in the coaching ranks who try to make the best of all worlds, but it's hard. The northern Europeans have developed practices based on "small area games." These are games with 2-6 players in a small area of the ice. They feed the competitive fires and the fun of game playing, but allow for more puck touches than a 6 v 6 or even 4 v 4 game with goalies. These are combined with specific skill drills to teach the kids to skate and handle the puck. These practices take a lot of planning and work on the part of the coaches though so not many coaches in USA do it.
At mites especially, the worst thing you can do is have a lot of full ice games. Really hurts the less skilled players who basically never touch the puck. The better approach is lots of cross ice small sided games and try to group players of similar ability. Again, have the fun of a game, but more chances to touch the puck.
Another good thing about pond hockey is the willingness to take chances and try stuff. If a coach is yelling at kids to "chip it in" "chip it out" and "get it deep", he'll never learn to carry the puck and make a move on someone. If a kid gets yelled at for turning the puck over, he'll make the "safe" play and never develop those skills. The hardest thing for me as a dad is to refrain from criticizing my kid for hanging on to the puck.
Yikes, hope they sort it out and you get better quick.

Good morning, it's Mrs. Eagle's birthday today - I had flowers sent yesterday so I'm a hero.
I did make a strategic error last night, played hockey for the first time in ~ 2 years. Other than having feet of concrete, hands of stone, and being fat and out of shape it wasn't too bad.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 98: Favorite Alter Ego
Wow, did you actually get an appointment??? That's great!!! I just called my doctor again as I feel my primary care physician should see me and this all-encompassing rash (which flared up again overnight so I'm home today waiting for the meds to kick in) and let her know what happened at the Emergency Room. Nothing available till Friday. That's 2 days away. Un-*ing real. I feel like calling the White House to get an appointment with the President and bet I could get in to see him faster.
On a serious note - I hope you feel better. Have you been taking anything?
