Blogging is Fun

It was just after the last visit of the San Jose Sharks to Minnesota that I began this blog, so now seems as good a time as any for a quick look back at the past ten weeks or so.

I pretty much started this on a whim, with no particular expectation that I would be able to sustain interest in it for any length of time, but it's honestly been much more enjoyable and rewarding than I would have expected. My confidence is growing that Team Teal in the Twin Towns will be around for the foreseeable future.

I've also gotten more visitors than I thought I would...a testament to the power of search engines, I guess. First of all, to anyone who has ever visited...thanks! I hope you enjoyed the page. I would love it if you would leave a quick Hello! via the comment section. Don't feel obliged...if you just want to kick back and read, that's totally cool. But if there's anything you'd like to say, or any points I've made you wish to disagree with, or errors of fact I've made you'd like to correct, please feel free. I appreciate any feedback.


My Fellow Americans...

A colleague of mine had a Daily Show desk calendar a couple of years ago. He saved this particular page for me...



Cool, eh?


Contact the Pulitzer Committee!

David Brewster, a photographer for the local rag here in the Mini-Apple, caught a great shot yesterday of Patrick Marleau swatting what would have been the winning (or, from a Shark perspective, losing) goal out of mid-air as overtime was ticking down. You can check it out here. (The Star-Tribune has a bit of an obnoxious policy regarding viewing their content...as near as I can determine, you can look at a pic/link/article once, but if you go back again or reload the page you have to register. It's almost more annoying than just being asked to register up front. Anyway, if you go look at the pic, it's best to download it locally if you think you're going to want to look at it again).
