A bunch of skinny dudes.
I saw this picture of our team from 11 years ago. I’m hiding behind the trophy with my eyes closed. This was about 60 pounds ago.

In other news, Ashlee-Heather asked me the other day why the phrase “beating a dead horse” even is used since it makes no sense. I agreed. Why would you want to beat a dead horse. I told A-Heather that I agree because if you don’t want to beat a dead horse, you’re saying you’d rather beat an alive horse. Unless by ‘beating’ one really means breaking which is what my dad used to do. Break horses. In which case, it would make sense because a dead horse is useless. But an alive horse, you can train or break. Like my dad used to do. So the saying should be “breaking a dead horse” or “training a dead horse.”

In similar news, Ashlee-Heather and I have a frequent debate about Alanis Morissette’s song Ironic. Among other things, I say rain on your wedding day is unfortunate. Not Ironic. Rain is rain. Unless it’s in spain. where it falls mostly in the plains. Also, one of Alanis’ songs is written about Joey from Full House. Which I find a little ironic.

And finally, tonight I busted out my tool belt and fixed the kitchen sink thereby giving new meaning to the phrase “everything but the kitchen sink.” Not really, but I just wanted to end with another phrase like beating a dead horse. If you put them together it’s even worse. I think we’re beating a dead horse here. With everything but the kitchen sink. Look before you leap. Adios.

Live blogging.
Right now I am doing what is commonly referred to as live blogging. I am blogging while watching a hockey game. I use the term watching lightly. All I know is that team Canada just scored a goal against team U.S.A. When Ashlee-Heather and I were down in Pittsburgh my dad and brother kept watching hockey. I told them to come up to Canada if they want to watch hockey. Glove save and a beauty. This game is pretty fast paced. More so than what I usually watch. I guess that might be because the last time I watched hockey was Tyndale intramural ball hockey. These guys are juniors. Like in the mighty ducks 2 I guess with Julie the cat Gaphne from Bangor Maine and the Bash brothers. A lot of missed body checking going on. I think I just saw the knuckle puck. I just decided that I will stop this edition of live blogging at the next commercial break. Score is still 1-0 Canada. Midway point in the first period. Team Canada is controlling the action. They’re standing on guard. Someone just lost a stick. There is a stick in the middle of the ice. It is distracting me. Whistles blew. Stick picked up. I’m moving on with Canada up 1-0 still. I can’t stay away. I turned the channel and came back and U.S. ties it up. 1-1. U. S. A. I’m going to get my Barak shirt on. If U.S wins I’m wearing that to the church tomorrow. Yes We Can! Wooooohooo U.S scores again at the end of that sentance. 2-1 U.S. We’re making history. My Dad loves Barak. I’m outta here. I think I will watch the rest of this. This is the first time Canada has trailed in the gold medal game since ‘04. Do you believe in miracles? Almost another goal right there. Oh Canada, just tied it up. 2-2. Good night. Go for the gold.

In other news, Ashlee-Heather and I had an awesome trip to Pittsburgh and are now back. Anytime that I hear someone say ‘remember..’ I add, at least in my mind, the Titans. That just came to mind. Probably because we watched it in Pitt. Buteer’s Momma. Anyway, Ashlee-Heather is back to work and school. Which means she has a crazy schedule. The other day I mentioned that I was going to move our bedroom into the smaller spare room in order to make our room my weight room. I think I stumped her with that one because she really didn’t have an answer for that. I’m taking that to mean she thinks it’s a good idea but just not at this time. I’ll check back at a later date.

And Finally, it is getting cold out there. Man scarf season has returned. Goodnight canada. Still in intermission.
New Year…
…New Calculator watch. Keepin’ it real in 2010.
Two books that are similar Volume II
Volume one was so memorable that I’m here to offer volume two. Two books that are similar. Both of these books are similar in writing and overall awesomeness. They remind me of each other. Stay tuned for Volume III.
Ashlee-Heather loves Hedo Turkoglu. Michael Jordan of Turkey. Toni Kukoc of the NBA. Everytime a game is on or any sports news, Ashlee-Heather is looking for Hedo. She says he looks like me. Let’s hope that’s not true. This picture makes him look more like someone from Ireland.
