The true sweet spot is having your wife home again after being in the hospital on and off for most of January. A severe allergic reaction to a medicine and a (somewhat) planned surgery later, she's at home recovering.

1. Had a great Christmas a home in Montreal with my wife and family. 2. Played shinny hockey with my little cousin. 3. We got upgraded (unexpectedly) to first class on our 4.5 hour leg of our flight.

Over the last week or so, I have not been feeling well. This morning around 2:30 am it finally came to a head, I was in unbearable pain (albeit a familiar pain)I knew I was experiencing kidney stone pain. My wife and I went to the ER and after treatment, and a CT scan I am hopefully expected to pass a 3 millimeter stone in the next 48 hours. The medicine also made me sick on the way home. What a morning.

After traveling for work all week (Sacramento > Boston), I am wore out, under the weather and I need to work today because I have client presentations due. I need to book some vacation time soon.

The sun is shining, and the new Jack Johnson CD is smooth.

After a long work week, still needing to work on Sunday to be afloat on Monday.

Did you see the move that Plekanec made to dish the puck to Hamrlik? Wow!

mik3, sounds like great customer service.

Today is my 27th birthday and my wife ordered CenterIce for me.

Had a rare day off and I headed to the roller rink for the first time in ages and only one other person was there. Thankfully, there was at least one person playing but the Sacramento area is certainly not a hockey hotbed.
