Note To President Bush

Mr. President:

If it looks like a recession, and acts like a recession, IT"S A RECESSION!!

If it's NHL Playoff time....

Then it means my Washington Capitals lost another multi-overtime Game . Philly beat them 4-3 in 2 ot's last night, the Flyers now have a 3-1 lead in the series. Why can' t the Caps win one of these long games? It's strange. Must be the Curse of Pat Lafontaine. Lafontaine, who all Caps fans detest, started this string back in 1987 with his famous 4 OT winner for the NY Islanders.

Funny Kid Stuff

As you may know, my Mom watches Luke and Levi, the 2 year old twin sons of our preacher. Well,they like to get into everything. For some reason, they have this fascination with the cans of dog food that are in the kitchen closet, and they like to stack them up and make towers. A couple of weeks ago, Luke was in there playing with them, and Levi came along and knocked the tower down. Luke grabbed him by the cheeks and said "didn't I tell you not to do that?" Ahh, out of the mouth of babes...

Red White, Blue, and HOT!!!!

After 5 years of languishing in the basement of the NHL, my Washington Caps are Southeast Division Champs! 65 Goal Scorer and probable MVP Alex Ovechkin, super rookie Nicklas Backstom, Super Soph Alex Semin and the rest of the Caps, lead by coach Bruce Beudreau, open up the playoffs next week against the Philadelphia Flyers. The teams split the season series 2 games apiece, and this is their first playoff meeting since 1989, when Philly upset the Caps in 6. It's a safe bet that Christobal Huet, who went 11-2 after arriving in a trade will get the start in goal, over longtime starter Olie Kolzig. I predict that the Caps will prevail in 5. Hopefully, after knocking off the Flyers, the Caps wont have to set foot in the state of Pennsylvania until next season. The Pittsburgh Penguins are also in the playoffs, and every true Caps fans know that everytime they play the Pens in the playoffs, something weird happens, and the Caps blow a 2 game lead in the series.
