JF Jacques and Brad WInchester are in the line-up with Petr Nedved and Zach Stortini are the designated sitters. Jussi Markkanen and Martin Gerber are [...]

With last Thursday being my birthday I thought this quote on age and living was appropriate.

“People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live…[We] never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.” – Albert [...]

Here are my thoughts and recollections for the past week:

Budget presentation day was last Thursday. I think it went well and I think the committee understood my vision for the next 3 years.
Patti worked with a few more clients and spent most of the week working on crafts for the SLPs to use.
The Edmonton Oilers [...]

 
The Eclecticblogs “Blog of the Week” is Miss604. Rebecca and her companion Flickr site Miss604 are great places to visit to find out about someone’s view of Vancouver. The posts are always worth a read. She has a great sense of life and her take on things is very interesting. Like most of my favorite blogs, she has posts on [...]

Pregame Notes: Jarrett Stoll and Fernando Pisani are both still on the shelf with concussions. For the second time in the 3 games to start the road trip, the Oilers have to stand around while the home team goes through a celebration. In Boston it was a celebration of Johnny Bucyk and tonight the Leafs [...]

Pregame Notes: Scholes and Giggs will sit this one out with Fletcher and Park playing in the midfield. Solskjaer and Saha are the starting strikers. Three changes at the back with Brown, Silvestre and Heinze replacing Neville, Ferdinand and Evra. Thomas Kuszczak will make his 3rd straight start in goal with Van der Sar still injured. [...]

Pregame Notes: The Edmonton Oilers will start with the same line-up as lost in Boston the other night. History favors the Oilers as the last time Buffalo beat Edmonton in Buffalo was October 18, 1995. In fact the last time the Sabres hosted the Oilers was March 4th, 2002. Buffalo has 5 20+ goal scorers [...]

Snow Castle on Great Slave Lake

Originally uploaded by EclecticBlogs.

We decided that since it was a nice sunny day on Sunday that we should drive around and see some of the winter sights of Yellowknife. We were driving down School Draw Ave. when we came across 3 or 4 ptarmigan walking on the road. I pulled [...]

The word for February 14th is “Epeolatry”.
Pronounciation: (epee-OL-a-tree).
Meaning: The worship of words. The absolute adoration of words.
Although the word is appropriate for my Wednesday postings, Epeolatry is an obsure word that hasn’t achieved any great usage in the world at large. It’s not even especially old, since its first known user, and presumably its creator, was Oliver Wendell Holmes [...]
