If you know your history, you know that this raid meant nothing strategically.   It was a message, and I got to think these men bore that weight,   accepted it, and flew off that carrier anyway.

now there are 4 of them left.   Great men.     What i’d give to sit down with just one and hear the stories.

Pretty moving.

Reasons Why Men Have Two Dogs And Not Two Wives:

1. The later you are,the more excited your dogs are to see you.
2. Dogs will forgive you for playing with other dogs.
3. If a dog is gorgeous, other dogs don’t hate it.
4. Dogs don’t mind it if you call them by another dog’s name.
5. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.
6. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
7. Dogs like to do their snooping outside rather than in your wallet or desk.
8. Dogs seldom outlive you.
9. You never have to wait for a dog they’re ready to go when you put your coat on.
10. Dogs find you amusing when you’re stumbling around in the dark.
11. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
12. Another man will seldom steal your dog.
13. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, “If I died, would you get another dog?”
14. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.
15. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don’t get mad.
16. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pick-up truck.
17. If a dog leaves, it won’t take half of your stuff.

Sid is leading the league.  Kunitz is on fire.  Malkin is hurt, but last years MVP will be back.    Then ya got James Neal.      We’re fighting back from defecits that would kill other teams.    I really, really like our chances.    This club smells like they wanna hoist lord stanleys cup to me.

What a great song!

More snow. Dying to fill my iPod, twist a throttle and find a town I’ve never seen, let alone know the name of. Don’t call my cell on that weekend. I won’t answer.

Some people like to just ride.     To the corner or to the store.   To the next next town.   for a few hours, or a few days.     To the lucky few, for a few weeks.    What it means to me I’m not sure it means to everyone else.

Life is a tough sumbitch.     It’s exactly as it should be.

I just like to ride.    It’s been snowing today.   Man, I need it.

You can say this picture is political, but I’d like to think I  know better.    Read the history of Ronald Reagan.   He came from a different place.     from a different generation.   Cut his teeth through shallow Hollywood, yet saw the bullshit.   There he is, kissing that flag.     Maybe it was the time, but at the very least I gotta think it wasn’t.    He was revered because he was a man of principles.     Maybe a man from a different time.   You 49 percent, you can get the hell off my blog, or you can personally email me.      Would love to see obama kissing that flag.
