Just Skating By

Samantha called me Friday after we had met up for lunch to let me know a rock had chipped her windshield while driving back to work. No big deal, I thought. We will just get it repaired and move on. So around noon on Saturday, a mobile repairman visited us at the apartment complex to [...]

I parked the car around 3 p.m. to start my afternoon excursion. I knew a bit about what I wanted to do: catch the pre-game festivities in front of the Sommet Center, possibly catch a bit of the UT/Florida game, pick up my hockey tickets and watch the Nashville Predators take on the Columbus Blue [...]

Saturday morning I got up and went to the Nashville Predators prospects camp at the Centennial Sportsplex. There was a fairly sizable crowd that had shown up to see therecent draft picks, junior and college hockey players. While few of the guys are well-known around Nashville, all are expected to have a very bright future [...]

The Nashville Predators ended their season moments ago with a 8-4 loss to the Minnesota Wild (two empty netters). The team will not make the postseason for the fifth consecutive time, a goal they had on their road map to bringing a Stanley Cup back to the Music City. Despite all of that, it was [...]

I listened in the game tonight as the Nashville Predators closed out their home schedule against the Chicago Blackhawks. It was a game with a lot on the line for the Predators as they try to keep pace with St. Louis and stay ahead of Minnesota and Edmonton in the standings. Through the first period, [...]

Today’s excitement kicked off this morning with our second 5K in as many months, this one “Runnin’ to Beat the Blues” at Centennial Park here in Nashville. The rain made it a very soggy trek around the Parthenon, but we still managed to turn in personal-best times. We are far from avid runners (although we [...]

The stylist sat me down in her chair earlier this evening and asked if a #4 guard would be acceptable. “Sure,” I said, not really knowing much about the guards on clippers, other than the #4 had been noted in my computerized file, and I liked my last haircut. I placed my glasses on the [...]

On Saturday, Samantha and I participated in the Nashville Predators 5K, a road-race that took us around a good chunk of the downtown cityscape. It was our first 5K to run in, second for which to register. Illness kept us away from the event last year even though we both have t-shirts and ticket stubs [...]

Thanks to ticket deals, a 5K race and an inordinate number of games at home in February, we will be attending three of the ten Nashville Predators games this month. We went to our first of the set tonight, with the good guys knocking off the Anaheim Ducks 4-2. The win breathes new life into [...]

The weather is slowly starting to match the seasons. It is much cooler out than the 75 degree days in December where we were all but convinced that winter was giving way to an early spring. As I walked out of the office this afternoon on my way home, I could not help but smile [...]
