Ball, Oilers, Laughter!

A little piece of me died last night.
I was playing slo-pitch in a beer league, my team is the Dirt Devils, and we are a semi-serious team. It was my 4th at bat of the game which is pretty good considering I was batting at the bottom of the order. The count was 3-0 and our team captain/coach/league president gave me the RED light. So for fear of pissing off my team mates I did not swing and 2 pitches later I walked for the first time in 7 years of playing Slo-Pitch. I didn't even swing the bat once in the 5 pitch at bat.
And to had injury to insult, I tore up my hamstring for the 1000th time on my 1st at bat of the game running out an infield single. For the rest of the game I was the DH and had to have a pinch runner. I should be able to go again on sunday and I guarentee I will not take a walk again. Gotta swing away in Slo-Pitch.
Back home with the Fog Duckers I would owe a 6 pack of beer for walking!

Rumours are starting to swirl about a few trades in the works for the Edmonton Oilers.
News released yesterday of Danny Heatley wanting a trade from Ottawa has some people suggesting that Edmonton could be his next home. I do not know if this is a good idea seeing as it would probably cost a top D-man and forward to obtain Heatley. It would be nice to see him in copper and blue tho!
Another rumour is that the Oilers may be able to trade up in the draft as high as a 2nd overall pick. This has me excited as the number 2 spot would be John Tavares seeing as the Islanders are telling the world they are picking Victor Hedman. Both the Lighting (number 2 overall) and Islanders (number 1) want Hedman so if he does go 1st then the Bolts will consider a trade.
How does this sound for a starting lineup this fall?

LW-Danny Heatley C-John Tavares RW-Ales Hemsky
D-Sheldon Souray D-Tom Gilbert
G-Dwanyne Roloson
I can see it now!!!!

Manly Treatment

We had the ladies from Camelot Body Care Plus in studio all morning today. I received a Gentleman's Facial. It was absolutely amazing. They started off by having me breath in this stuff that relaxed me. Then Sarah pretty much massaged my face for an hour. It ended with a green mask that was on my face for about 15 minutes. While that was on I had my hands massaged. It was the most relaxing thing ever!
Next Robb had a Sport Pedicure. They soaked his feet, trimmed his cuticles, shaved down his calluses (pardon the spelling), massaged his feet, and then had a paraffin wax wrap. Again Robb was relaxed and ready for a nap!
This was all done to prove that manly men such as Robb and I, can get this stuff done without feeling shame.
We are also qualifying people who win the Gentleman's package for fathers day. The package includes the facial, pedicure, 30 minute massage, and some product for the face and stuff.
Today's manly trivia was, name the 6 original teams in the NHL.
Geronimo knew the 6 were Chicago, Boston, Detroit, New York Rangers, Montreal and Toronto.

I was at the Maple Flag open house Saturday afternoon. It was pretty cool to see all the fighter jets up close and personal. When you see them on TV flying around you forget how big they actually are.
Huge props goes out to CFB Cold Lake for the parking situation. We pulled up to where they had a military man directing people on where to park. He looked into my vehicle and saw that I had my son who is only 12 weeks old. He then said people with children under 3 get to park up close. He directed me up to our parking spot which was literally 100 yards from the entrance to the show.
More places should have kids parking. It made pushing the stroller through the dirt parking lot a hell of a lot easier.
