Mr. Subliminal
Dan Case was a great man. He was known as ”Upper Case.” Steve Case, co-founder of America Online and Dan’s brother, had a nick name and it was “lower case.” The new Aol is all about the lower case. I find that ironically funny. Check out this Advertising Age ...

Fanatics
At the root of the word fan is the word fanatic. On Saturday evening, my wife and I went to an early dinner at the Palm in Tysons Corner. We went early because we had gone on a date to a movie and then went to dine so we could rush home and watch the Caps game. By the way, we saw the film The ...

We Get One Point But We Should Have Gotten Two
Yes we are quite disappointed in last night’s outcome . We didn’t play very well in the third period or overtime. We didn’t hold onto a 3-1 lead. We get a single standings point. We now have 32 points out of a possible 48 points for 24 games played to date. We are tied for ...

To a Few Folks That Comment on My Blog
Read this article . I couldn’t have said it better myself. Injuries do take their toll for any and all teams in the NHL. Like it or not. And luck does take it toll, too. We hit three posts this weekend. One of those shots goes in and we have another standings point, too. And we ...

I Broke Down
I broke down and bought an iPhone from Apple yesterday. I will still use my cell phone as a stand alone device to talk to people. But I will now use my iPhone as a web device and a device that will let me post to Facebook; update my blog; and read and respond to my email. I went into the ...

What is the First Rule About Fight Club?
Don’t talk about Fight Club. But Kim Morgan talks about it after the fact - ten years after the fact. Wow, a decade has blown by us. You need to read this piece if you are a fan of this film! Fight Club , I agree, is a seminal piece of work. It is dark, depressing and uncommercial in ...

Our Coach Says It is a Good Point
So it is a good point. Who are we to argue? We played very short-handed again with seven players out in a back to back game in Toronto at their home rink last night. We tied in regulation and in OT; we lost in the shootout to gain one point. Our goaltender was outstanding last night. He ...

Mac Daddy
Here it is - a film about Macintosh computers, Apple and the people who are passionate and dedicated users. This documentary is amazing. It is a love note to a computer, a lifestyle and to Steve Jobs. I had one of the first 100 Macs that shipped as I worked on the Macintosh rollout at my ...

Thank You Matt and Here We Go Again
I would like to play one single game where all of our players are healthy and in the lineup. Just one as it hasn’t happened this season yet. Imagine if we were healthy. How many points would we have? What kind of pace would we be playing in terms of points garnered? We are really banged ...

Alex is back. He scores on his first shot on goal in his return. Matt Bradley rocks. Way to go, Matt! Quintin Laing is hurt - a broken jaw - yikes. That hurts and that is such a shame. It was another road game, a good win and another two points. We are back to first place in the East. We ...
