I Finally Gave In 27-02-2003
After many years of answering the question how come you don't have a PC at home? I finally caved in and bought a computer for my own personal use. I had a work computer to provide support but it was old and slow and useless. A couple of weeks ago, I got on the Dell.ca website and configured myself a nifty little package in order to experience the latest in technological wonders: Windows XP. I will pass my judgement in a few weeks about XP.
The main reason I bought the machine was for video editing. Gone are the days of two VCR's and pause/record/play. I used to spend countless hours with remotes in hand and trying to do things just right. I have only worked a couple of days trying to familiarize myself with all the tools. It will be a long time before I put out any decent productions. Good news Vicki , I will be an expert by the wedding.
I will try to post some of my multimedia experiences on this site but the size of these files will use up my Yahoo web space quickly.
Glory Days of Boston Trip Returning 27-02-2003
The LTHC (Laval Teachers Hockey Club) is heading down to Boston for its 29th or 30th Annual North American Cup. Some say this will be the final journey to Boston although this has been said many times before. Why then are we talking glory days? Because about 6 years ago, our flailing Looney was not going very far and we had to cut the trip down to one night.
This year, we are back to the glory days for the following reasons (not in order of importance):
- Reason 1 - No women are coming - Some of the wives and girl friends came to celebrate our 25th year but they just wanted to see what we had been doing for the last 24 years. Some did not even believe that we played hockey. Problem was that they kept coming after that. Problem now solved.
- Reason - 2 - Two nights in Boston - Our new 'money saving' schedule of leaving at 4:00am on Saturday morning to save on the bus and hotel is over. We are departing at noon on Friday and checking in (drunk) at around 5:30 at a hotel we haven't been to a many years.
- Reason 3 - The 57 Hotel - Thank 9/11 for this one, this hotel is now affordable again which brings on reason 4
- Reason 4 - The Tam or Clam - The best damn bar in Boston.
- Reason 5 - Mel Stiller - The Piano Man. Still playing every Friday at Jacob Wirth Restaurant. - Please don't wear your LTHC jacket.
- Reason 6 - Beer on the Bus - Need I say more. We finally don't have to play hockey just after getting off the bus.
- Reason 7 - The Plough & Stars - Bag Boys - Bag Boys
- Reason 8 - Did I mention no women?
- Reason 9 - The bus leaves the Two Mountains Arena
- Reason 10 - The Looney is worth over 68 cents.
- Reason 11 - Horse Races.....
- Reason 12 - Mike's making a comeback.
- Reason 13 - The Dockside has our picture hung on the wall
- Reason 14 - We are not looking for players this year. We are looking for fans, drinking buddies and guys that can pick us up out of the gutter.
Sorry I forgot to mention when. The bus leaves ToMo Friday March 21st at noon and departs Boston around 4:00pm Sunday the 23rd.
