I haven't had time to finish watching "24" from this week yet, but I have to ask...why are they ruining my show by putting Ricky Schroder on it? Just because the show is chock full of the hotness that is Keifer Sutherland, they don't need to go gumming the whole hour up by putting The Ricker on it. My hope is that he will soon be either tortured or killed, but I read an interview with him that said it looked like he would be on for the rest of the season.

I'd like to thank my friend, Madeline, for giving me three boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, which I have consequently eaten at the approximate rate of a box per day. At the very least, an entire sleeve of Thin Mints per day. Damn you, Madeline!

One of my hockey teams has made it into the post season. We have a semi-final game tonight, and if we win, we go on to play a best of three series for the championship. Unfortunately, the team we would have to play in that series is the first place team that has lost hardly any games at all this season. We might be able to pull out one win, but a series win would be our own little miracle on ice. You never know, though. My team is sort of the little engine that could, and we ARE the reigning champs from last season.

Since it's Wally Wednesday, here's a photo of my boy from the weekend. As promised, since he's feeling better, I took him for a short hike up behind JPL. There's a nice stream up there he was able to tromp through. I'll tell you, there's nothing happier than a wet labrador! He got nice and filthy in the muck and received a much needed bath afterward. He is now much whiter and softer and my co-workers have stopped complaining about his smell.

The song for the day is "Mary's Prayer" by Danny Wilson off the bands 1987 album Meet Danny Wilson. The Scottish trio took their name from the 1952 Spencer Tracy film. They were definitely a one hit wonder, and would only ever release one other album before breaking up in 1991. This is a great song. I still love it every time I hear it.
