Hockey In July

Here are a few of the better shots from today's Development Camp scrimmage game for the Capitals future prospects. A couple looked ready for the big time, some needed a bit more time in the minors. It was a good game, especially in the middle of July.

Celebrations on the 4th

Here are a couple of pics of tonights Fireworks over Manassas Park.

DC Summer

I went in to DC for the day, the weather was quite nice, no humidity, only in the 80's. Got some good shots, and thought I'd post them for everyone to see.

Winter's Over, Spring Too, Now....

Freaking hot weather!!!!!

They are calling for high 90's and heavy humidity. The heat index is expected to get to between 100 and 105. It's a good thing we have a/c in the apartment, but the car is a completely different matter.

Choke, Choke

Well, looks like my prediction of an early choke by Ottawa was only a couple of games off. Too bad they waited until the Cup finals to make good.

They just simply got out played. Anaheim played an aggressive and physical game, and Ottawa didn't respond until the second period of game 3. It threw the Ducks off, but only for 40 minutes. The rest of their series, The Ducks dominated.

Well, the season is now over, just have to find ways to keep occupied until the puck drops in September.

Hello, My name is Sarah and I'm addicted to facebook.com.

The creator of Facebook.com is a genius, perhaps even an evil genius. For those of you yet to become acquainted with facebook, it is a free site where you can register to get your own profile and then search for (stalk) other profiles of people you may know. Once you find someone you'd like to befriend you can add them to your list of friends which they will then need to confirm (this process also applies when someone wants to be your friend - you need to confirm them). Once all the confirmation has taken place you can then check out their profile, including all of their friends and any photos they may have, and you can write on their wall for all to see or message them for a private conversation. It is my new love. I spend way too much time, signing in and reading posts and searching for other "facebookees" that I may know. I have been in contact with people I haven't seen since high school graduation (and trust me that was a LONG time ago) and it is rather amusing and fun to find out what everyone has been up to.


They say admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. There's hope for me yet (yeah right).

For any of you who think they can handle it, here's the url:

Good luck and happy hunting,

Sarah Doesn't Want to Play Any More

Well, the results are in, and it looks like I turned it around. A Ducks - Sens Stanley Cup Final.

Who'd a thunk it! (Me, that's who)

And Sarah wants to take her puck and go home. It seems she doesn't take defeat well.

Well, seems that there is only one way to predict this final round. We gotta go with national pride and pick Ottawa for all the glory.

It has the makings of good series, based on their prior performances (last 2 games for Anaheim not withstanding).

Now we just have to make it through to Monday to resume our almost daily fix of hockey.

Looking back, we've watched all but one or two Cap's games, and we even got to see them at the Phone Booth (Verizon Center) twice. Add to that the playoffs, with one or two games a night (sometimes even had a third stuffed in for good measure) and we've had quite a full season of hockey viewing.
