The Sweet Spot

[goaliemanshark 6]

Hmmmm. Interesting philosophy. Sadly wouldn't i have to be in shape before that happens? You saw me... ha!

Give me a few years and this can hold true.

Remember though, don't play hockey to stay in shape, stay in shape to play hockey.

Will most certainly do...I'm still doing a lot of indoor trainer miles, etc. I'm hoping to do some road cycling crit races next spring, and tons of charity rides.

Well guys, I've been gone a while... but tonight a newer, leaner (110 pounds!!) AnthonyJTa takes the ice for the first time in almost 2 years. I had to tighten my helmet screws, snug up all of the belts and straps on my pants, and get this... buy new skates. I was in an 8E when I weighted 314 pounds, I'm in a 7D; I have an arch again, and my foot is nowhere near as wide. I think this deserves a post in the sweet spot. Wish me luck!

Good work man!

After they took the mass out from my Mom's breast they did another biopsy. She got the results today and they are negative. Thank you Lord!

That's great news.

My Mom had breast & Ovarian cancer. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Just a bit of optimism I'd like to share- Scored a couple awesome opportunities with some groups I'm involved with here at school and will be headed for the weekend early for the next two weeks for Professional Development. I guess it's true what they say- Find something you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life. Can't wait to get my bachelor's, and THEN my master's in Special Education.

Made it through Halloween weekend without a drop of alcohol entering my body.

Good for you...one day at a time. Don't set unrealistic goals. And don't get too up on good days or down on bad days. Try to stay even keel....and try to surround yourself with good, supportive people.

Don't know if anyone here surfs but Kelly Slater just won his 11th world title, frickin' insane...He won his first when I was in 2nd grade now I'm 28 and he's still the best in the world and it's not even close. So stoked for the guy, met him several times through a family friend and he couldn't be a better person.

Got my $325 red light cam ticket knocked down to $180...one of the reasons I didn't feel bad about spending the money on the tattoo last night.

[Race4LastPlace 31]

After going back and forth in my head for days, I finally decided to accept a new job offer. the hours arent the best, but the money is good, and there is room for advancement, which i dont have currently. While difficult for me to move on from where i am and what im doing now, im excited for the future and this new opportunity.

Best part: they really wanted me to come work there, and worked it out so that I will still be going to winterfest as planned!

Glad you got a payoff for the time you put in.

My 6-week old son flashed a gigantic smile at me yesterday. It was the first time I could tell for sure that he was just smiling at me, not pooping or passing gas.

Just got a job at the HockeyGiant that opened near me. Some extra money in my pocket for the holiday season on top of my Pretzel Factory paycheck, nice! Looks like I need to start browsing here more often again...I haven't been as active since I stopped playing ice hockey

Yeah I haven't played ice hockey in about three years. My knees are extremely bad...I had to give it up. I still play roller once a week but nothing beats the sound of blades on the crisp ice.

Pretty sure Im getting a job at the local Total Hockey. Plus everything is falling into place finally for thanksgiving at our house. Both sides of the family coming over for the occasion so it should be interesting.

After getting dumped by my girlfriend in what I presume to be an act of cheating, I am doing my own cheating. I'm sorry forward gear, but you'll be sitting in a closet for a while while I lace up the pads. That having been said: Sweet Spot- They're(the goalie pads) coming wednesday before I head off to the rink for stick and puck!

1 more class till I head north for opening weekend of gun deer season!

Got a call from a friend asking me if I wanted to play with his team on the Winter Classic Ice after the Phantoms game. Hell yes!

[Vulcan7905 88]

Playing Saints Row 3 with review dlc with my good friend CheapyD in it. So weird to see a good buddy of yours go main stream and be dlc in a video game.

Got my first paycheck ever today. Hopefully the first of many.

[hellkitty 0]

Found $10 next to my car after work last night. My dogs almost pee'd on it but i got in time. It paid for hockey last night so i was pretty pumped that's for sure.

That's pretty sweet. My old coach got to play a beer league game at fenway a few years ago
