thanks for putting the video link Par... for once i can see the clip! ;)

i dunno... i think they absolutely need to put down their feet on things like that, deliberate injurious retalliation to clean/legal actions in the game need to be punished... the only problem would be that, in the split-second speed at which things like that get carried out on ice, how do you know you've actually seen what happened?

television, and the video replay have made brilliant referees out of us all, but how would we be dealing with it if we were on the ice? would we have even seen it?

I'm eagerly anticipating the NHL's disciplinary announcement for Chris Simon's (as Mike at Covered in Oil puts it) attempt to hit a homerun with Ryan Hollweg's teeth. An unbearably harsh three-game suspension will convince Simon and the rest of the league to think twice about swinging sticks in other players' faces, right?

Here's the video:

An adventure in relative time-keeping.

Instead of fanciful stories of rocket ships and twins, the kids got a hands-on introduction to general relativity with real clocks and a family road trip. Furthermore, by being at high altitude for the weekend, we experienced more time together, relatively speaking. It was the best extra 22 nanoseconds I've ever spent with the kids.

Happy B'day Pammy!!

Happy Birthday Pam!

Happy Birthday Pamela

Happy Bday yous.

kill the profs, but keep aison alive, and the river valley. I like that too. yeah. dos anybody know if I want to go to incubus enough to spend the money on them?

haha, i suppose, if you had a choice of contaminating the entire river valley with radioactive chemicals or kill a couple of researchers and professors, i'd also choose to kill the academics, but still...

... and no, that's not some sort of underlying grudge against my supervisors coming through, i promise!
