NHL Free Agent Signings: Buffalo Sabres

Hello!

I read that Peter Forsberg may be retiring. The Sabres have been quiet this offseason, but I really like that they signed Cody McCormick, Steve Montador, and Mike Grier, I'm hoping they'll re-sign Drew Stafford soon. Too bad that Mikael Telqvist is now in the KHL. Teppo Numminen retired, a good choice but kind of too bad, we lost Spacek to the Canadiens, which is also too bad. I'm very happy that Dominic Moore, Maxim Afinogenov, and Andrew Peters will most probably not be coming back. On Die By The Blade, I saw a fanpost called "The Darcy Regier era: Great Trades, but I was just thinking that one of the very bad trades of late was Ales Kotalik for a second round draft pick, then the second rounder for Dominic Moore. That trade pretty much equals Kotalik for Moore, which was a pretty bad deal. Moore ended with 1 goal and 3 assists in 18 games, while Kotalik went on to score another 7 goals and 4 assists in 19 games. My analysis is that was a TERRIBLE trade! Now that does not mean that I think that Darcy hasn't made some very good trades, but that one really stands out as a bad one. I will have to write a tribute to Numminen, Forsberg, and Joe Sakic, who also retired.

The Wedding is Done, Too!!!

Hello!

I don't really feel like a long post so I'll keep this one short.

We left for New Hampshire (the Live Free or Die state) on Friday around 11:30, and it took us about 6 hours to get there, with one short stop. We barely made it to the rehearsal dinner, which was at a Tiki bar/ restaurant with a bus ride there. The actual wedding was at a country club called Oaks, and it was kinda hot out but the wedding was a short one.

After the wedding and all that stuff, we went to the ocean with my Aunt and Uncle and their two kids, which was a lot of fun.

Bye!

The Play is Done!!!


Hello!

The play is done, it went very well, everyone had a great time. I remembered most of my lines, Alyson and some of the parents prompted people who missed anything. The joust came out really nicely, Anthony's brother A.J. was persuaded to do stage crew, Joey, Grace, and Lily all remembered their lines (they are 7, 7, and 4, as far as I know). The food was very tasty, and after the play A.J. tied me up, then I tied him up, we both got out. Here is a picture of the whole cast, as far as I know the whole cast.

Hi

Hello!

We did the rehearsal, we just got back. It went pretty well, but some people still need more work, but other than that it went very well. We have a scene where we do the We Will We Will Rock You beat, and we use Japanese knotweed for lances, and somebody had ants in their lance, so there was a a quick interruption to sweep them up. The grand performance is tomorrow night, so that will be fun. I hope it goes well.

I will be lifting weights with my friend, and then the play will be later that day.

Bye!

The Rehearsal is Today

Hello!

I will be at the play rehearsal tonight, and I've finished my helmet and armor, as well as my friend's armor, and my two friends have made the swords for the play, but only one of them is actually in the play. I have all of my lines memorised, but I don't have them perfect yet. I am using an extremely cool sword for the play, it is black, and my friend Anthony has been persuaded to have a small part.

Bye!

The Play

Hello!

I have play practice today at 6:30, so I really have to get cranking on my lines and my helmet. The no-scripts dress rehearsal is tomorrow, and the play is onm the 5th, and I have most of my lines memorized, but I should do a refresher with Alyson today. I most of the way finished the pattern for my helmet last night, but it was too late to finish. I will post a picture of the play and my helmet, when they are both done, so you can see what I'm talking about.

Bye!

Hoorah For Pancakes!

Hello!

I made pancakes with blueberries for breakfast, which turned out very well. I didn't really do much today, but our friends picked up their dog, and then I called my friend A.J. and biked down to his house. Now I should probably work on my helmet some more.

Bye!
