Tonight’s game 7….

Hockey and Other Sports Comments Off

Having watched Vancouver implode two games in a row, it really looks like a team that’s run out of gas getting this far. Willing, but banged up and tired. Minnesota, on the other hand, seems to be getting a second wind and looks stronger and is really starting to use its speed, especially Wes Walz.

so while my heart is iwth vancouver, I expect by the end of tonight it’ll be the Wild meeting Anaheim for the marbles here in the Western Conference. And the one thing those two teams have in common is they’re both teams that got little respect during the regular season, but are better than anyone wanted to believe. Neither team is a fluke, and both won by buying into the concept of team and winning as a team.

game starts in about half an hour. It might be a long, close (overtime?) game, or it might be a blowout early, depending on how tightly wound Vancouver is, and whether that team can find some energy to keep up with the Wild’s speed. In all honesty? I don’t think so — their game was game 5, and they didn’t get it done, and it’s been all Minnesota since.

Soon, there will be four…

Stuff to Read

Here are a few items I think you'll be interested in checking out while you visit:

Backups: I've talked a fair bit about backing up your data and why you should. Most people don't. Most people don't. Most people regret that some day. Don't be most people. To understand why or how, check out more than you wanted to know about backups, and even more. Then I decided to follow my own advice, and then I started running out of disk and had to solve the problem. Which is all really more than you want to know about backups -- but you need to know it, or you'll regret it.
Doing Good: I donated some images to Images without Borders, who are raising funds for Doctors Without Borders to support operations in Haiti. The least you could do is go take a look, and maybe put a few bucks down for a nice print by someone in support of this cause.
Photography: There are three rules they tell photographers. I explain why those rules are wrong (at least some of the time).
Teachable Moments: I love teachable moments as a way to take mistakes and turn them into something postive. I just wish I didn't make them quite so teachable some days, as I did the day I convinced myself a ring-necked pheasant was really a blue grouse. Birders will understand...
Paying Forward: Here's where I make the case for paying forward instead of paying back.
Blogging: and because I know I'll need it, here are 50 reasons why I haven't been blogging. For when i stop blogging for a while.
Apple: And finally, an explanation of what I did for a living when I was working for Mama Apple.

Looking for Something?

Here are a couple of companies that I purchase from and can recommend to you.

In some places on this site I use links that take you to a page where you can buy a product I talk about. If you use that link and make a purchase, I'll earn a small commission and you'll earn my thanks for doing so. You don't pay more when you do this and I get a few dollars to help pay for this site's fees or to put away for that 800mm lens I'd love to buy. If you choose to use these affiliate links, thank you. If you would rather not, that's fine as well.
