Let's talk about hockey a little bit more...
So All-Star Weekend for the NHL...my first. I didn't get involved in all the social media outlets, listening to mic'd up players, etc, etc, etc... I watched the skills competition on Saturday and the games on Sunday.
I think the star of the skills competition was young Ryker Kesler, son of the Anaheim Ducks Ryan Kesler, who took dad's second shootout shot and scored on one of the leagues best goalies, Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens. For real. I think it was a legit score as six-foot-something Price didn't know how to defend against his four-foot-tall opponent.
Now Tyler was only in one skills competition. He didn't win though. And the Central Division team on which he played completely combusted and got their asses kicked by the Pacific Division team 10 to 3. Not sure why is was such a rout, so I didn't get to see much of him.
On the other hand, Sidney Crosby defended his honor against up-and-coming Auston Matthews in the accuracy shooting competition and scored a goal during the game.
In other news, I mad great progress on my book revisions and might just make my deadline.
How was your weekend?

Let's talk about hockey...
Regular professional hockey is on a four-day hiatus for the annual All-Star Break. I've never watched one before, but I'm excited to this year because my favorite hockey player, Tyler Seguin, was selected as the lone player from the Stars.
Getting selected is pretty awesome considering there are thirty-one teams in the NHL and I don't think they send one guy from every team. Some teams have two or three players chosen. So yeah. Tyler is one of the high scoring players in the league--NHL players get individual points for scoring goals as well as assists on goal.
There was some sort of image creating contest/event (#HockeyGoesHolleywood) and these were posted to the STARS Facebook page the other day--they are not my work--not claiming that at all. But they were fun to see.
Needless to say, I'll be spending several hours this weekend in front of the TV or my PC watching the All-Star Break events.
Have a great weekend!!

Made it through the week...
Even with my daily longer-than-normal list of things to do each day and despite crossing off the bulk of those items, I'm not feeling like I'm making progress.
Last night I sat down to revise for a minimum of an hour. When I looked at the clock in my office when I was done, I thought 'wow, I worked two hours!' It felt like two hours, but it turns out it was only an hour. :( The clock in my office is an hour off... It really did feel like two hours.
Maybe I'm just tired because I've had so many things to accomplish (and done so) and I started back to the gym after two weeks of not going.
But I'm definitely happy it's Friday even though Saturday will probably be busy with writer group stuff. I'm looking forward to Sunday. And I'm hoping that next week I'll be feeling a little more energetic.
On a more sporty note...the STARS won last night and my favorite STAR, Tyler Seguin, was chosen for the NHL All Star Game. This makes his fourth time being selected. Way to go boys!
