Museums, beaches, restaurants, theater, the greatest skyline you ever saw, and ...the Blackhawks.<br /><br />Seriously my friend, promise me you'll stop by and check it out sometime. I could go on and on ....wait, I guess I already do that, don't I?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253196269498737011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-12621972209117183122009-12-15T16:22:47.759-06:002009-12-15T16:22:47.759-06:00Well, to be fair Hartford was a pretty small marke...Well, to be fair Hartford was a pretty small market, but (a) it is a place where there is actually snow, and (b) we had our drunken diehards, dammit. The team owners really got douchey with respect to the fans (and the talent) by the end. Seemed like one of those sick organizations.<br /><br />Carolina did go on to win a Stanley cup a few years later. The fuckers. <br /><br />Chicago? I've never even been there.Keifushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287358319899471490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-60489198799659083542009-12-15T15:42:38.358-06:002009-12-15T15:42:38.358-06:00I'd forgotten how much fun hockey is Keifus.

(smirk) Yeah, a real hockey hotbed.<br /><br />Kids come first no doubt, so she was right in insisting you get regular sleep. But those girls are growing up dammit! Time for you to become a Blackhawks fan.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253196269498737011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-87545787897343983942009-12-15T15:05:25.171-06:002009-12-15T15:05:25.171-06:00[Try again.]

The fact that my wife at the time told me "no late night games for you" (new baby; she had something of a point) kind of accentuated the finality. <br /><br />Still think it's a great game though, and catch minor league play once in a great while. And now that she's letting me play in the beer leagues again, maybe I should shop around for a pro team to follow. It'd be a tough sell, and I have no idea where to start--I don't think I'll ever get myself to root for the Bruins, or for a New York team.Keifushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287358319899471490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33360632.post-8451385311954121552009-12-15T14:58:01.234-06:002009-12-15T14:58:01.234-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Keifushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287358319899471490noreply@blogger.com
