I Didn't Like It

Got word from my boss today that due to new restrictions on travel spending in light of recent economic ills, that my trip to Germany slated for three weeks from now has been postponed until early 2009.

Y’know, as a kid I hated being disappointed, and today as an adult I like it even less.

And speaking of things I don’t like, how about the Blackhawks suddenly deciding to sack head coach Denis Savard after just three games into the new season? Savard has been replaced by former COL/STL coach Joel Quenneville.

What wonderful timing.

Finally, has it ever occurred to anyone—as it did to me after lunch today—that were a big screen version of “The Year Without A Santa Claus” ever produced that last night’s debate provided two great casting options to play The Miser Brothers?

I mean, the temperaments couldn’t make for a better fit.
