Tonight I had fun using Google Maps. I can even create labels and save maps and send people links. For example, I have company coming this weekend. They are from out of town and have never been to my place. Sure I can write out the directions. But what if you are a visual learner? For that very reason, I made a map with directions to my house. It’s fantastic. And apparently a good way to spend a lot of one’s time instead of doing other activities.

At least the American anthem was a tad better for game two. But what was with this whole game? I realize they have great goalies –they should– but can they really not get that wee little puck into the net? Ottawa has had a five-on-three in each game, yet no goals. Is this simple fact a sign that the end is near? Perhaps going home will be the answer.

Tonight, during a few lone moments tucked between running back to the hospital, I managed to catch the end of House (a foramen ovale? unclosed since birth? did I miss something?).
After some searching, I located a great new tune heard at the end of the episode: Josh Ritter’s “Good Man.” He’s got it available as a free download on his myspace. Enjoy.

Last year I cheered for Edmonton and started blogging around game three. I actually followed some of the playoffs. Disappointed when the Canucks were out. Then something funny happened. I began cheering for Detroit and Ottawa. Why so odd? They have red jerseys. Some people with good memories will recall me making a statement to the likes of “I will never cheer for a team with red jerseys.” I’m not a fan of red jerseys. I don’t think they look good at all.
BUT, it was Detroit vs. the Ducks. And I’m against any team with “duck” in their name more than I’m against red jerseys. AND, since I currently reside north of the 49th, I figure that backing Ottawa is probably a good thing. (Disregarding the fact that Anaheim may actually have more Canadian players than Ottawa of course.)
In any case, I was only able to catch Ottawa’s first goal due to a certain ultimate game. Despite the early loss, I’m sure my folks can do what needs to get done. Further game analysis from a chick with bizarre (and fickle) team loyalties is promised.

So, all I can think about this afternoon at WalMart while determining unit price and the better deal between various package counts (think long division without the paper) is this and this and, well, I guess this too.
