Today, I poke checked several danglers. While I might not be able to chase down break aways, I can play one-on-one. As a side note- the instruction from my figure skating instructor has helped me by leaps and bounds.

Guys, everyone has their opinions, and this is a venting thread. Speak your mind, and I dont really worry about the criticism, unless it becomes racist then thats a different matter altogether. And just to clarify that the sun in Australia is very harsh. My family is asian, so we dont really sunburn easily, but when you I've known so many who have had melanoma it gets you thinking. - he didnt pack the sunscreen because he's a procrastinator. He keeps saying that he'll do it, but forgot to do it even with constant and numerous reminders - he knew it was going to be a really hot day, and he was going to be playing 3 games in a venue we've never been to before. It wasnt blazing hot, but hot enough for every other family to be in the shade - we explained to the coach who was fully supportive. He said he would have done the same to his own son, otherwise discipline just goes out the window. Fast forward to this week, sunscreen is perpetually in the bag. He knows that if he forgets it again he will have to bear the consequences.

Hang in there, Steve.

I keep seeing arts organizations (and I'm sure this is happening in other fields too) offering internship "opportunities" that are really full-time positions that should be occupied by paid staff. Just disgusting and disheartening for so many reasons.

New practice jersey...I think so!

Not too bad actually. The month of December was the best I have felt in a long time. I had a liver biopsy in December of 2012 and another one a couple weeks ago. Last year the biopsy showed very little in terms of anything wrong with the cells of the liver. This latest one showed significant scarring. That is there biggest concern on how fast the disease seems to progressing this time. I plan on getting back on the ice soon and trying to get myself in the best shape that I can be. That seemed to help last time. I barely lasted long enough last time to get a transplant. The told my wife to be prepared because I could have died at any time. They thing I can get a liver before I get that sick this time. Thanks for any and all support. It really helps.
