Stuff about me!

Just finished having my dinner (left overs from when I cooked dinner on Sunday). I can eat the same left overs for about five days straight before I start getting sick of them. Anyway I need to continue my ranting of the NHL. Yes, the better team (talent wise) won the cup fair and square but it will not help the league in attracting let alone retaining its fan base. I heard that the Tampa Tribune mistakenly printed a story saying that the Lightning had lost game 7. In addition only 10,000 fans showed up for the Stanley Cup parade while 20,000 fans showed up to see Flames fans return from Florida.

Also listening to a story on the radio about Mario Lemieux (co-owner of the lowly Pittsburgh Penguins) dropping a bomb that the team needs a new rink or the franchise will move. The old Mellon Centre is 43 years old plus the team had the worst record in the league and a mediocre squad of talented players. I am intrigued about the resurrection of the old WHA (World Hockey Association) led by its commissioner Bobby Hull. Remember him? It's a fascinating story and would like to see games played in Miami (assuming they get a franchise and the league starts this fall. I also ordered a book (Complete Historical and Statistical Reference to the World Hockey Association, 1972-1979)
about the history of the WHA. I'm tempted to buy a copy!

Last bit of news is that my roommate Jaclyn moved out (flew home to Nova Scotia) Monday morning. She had stayed almost two years to the day and was my longest serving roomie. So I went through three people in almost four years. It was an interesting experience and helped me fiancially! It's tough living with someone and each person putting up with each other's annoying traits. I'm sure I have annoying characteristics too. So things are a bit up in the air at the moment. I talked with a friend of mine last weekend and he expressed an interest in being a roommate. He's a descent guy and I've known him for a couple of years. So maybe I'll have a new roommate at the end of July! That's all for now - later...
