Its not easy getting all the boys/coaches together on the same day. But there they are!

New pads – New Helmet.

mikeys pre-season warm ups:

Mikey had an opportunity to meet and skate with Jared Boll of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Great picture of them at the rink:

I’ve moved my office to a finished basement room. I moved my coding station to the corner of the room. Unfortunately with this arrangement, I dont have space for the big monitors/big tv in this office. But its a good hideaway and a happy place for an a.d.d. person. Check out the picture of the coding area:

Here’s a few hide and seek things to find in the picture:

How many Cartmans are there?

Well anyway…theres my little corner.

ok..so it started innocently enough. We went to the theater, years ago, to see the Cars movie. It remains as a favorite film and I thought it would be cool to pick up a few of the Mattel cars based on the movie.

Mattel continued to release the different variations of the cars from the film, and it turns out, there’s quite a few of them. Throughout the years, I’ve bought them as they were released and tossed them into a box for later. I dug out the box today to see how many i have to date:

138 cars so far! I think I might have an obsessive compulsive buying problem.
Whats really humorous…There’s probably about 30′ish cars released that I don’t have.

3rd place out of 35 goalies!
