Hurricanes

... they lost ... (not the weather kind) the North Carolina hockey team kind.

My step-son, Christopher, LOVES the NC Hurricanes. Although he stood for the entire game in his Arizona livingroom and bit his nails ... the canes still lost.

They're in the play-offs. If they could just squeak out one more win, then they win the Stanley Cup and Christopher will be in hog-heaven.

That makes me happy. That makes his daddy happy. Chris may live in Arizona, but his heart (as far as his sports teams go) is back home in NC. He's a huge Tar Heel, Panther, and Hurricane fan. Although he's been acquiring a taste for the Arizona Suns, Chris has been following NC teams for a long, long time. The man lives and dies for sports. And his sweet wife, Nicole.

But somehow, I think even Nicole takes a back seat with the Canes are in the play-offs.

That's okay, Nicole ... it's a nice bargaining chip.

So ... Christopher is sitting on the edge of his seat waiting for the next game in the series ... and hopefully with the next win, NC wins the Stanley Cup!

Go CANES! ... we can't wait for the next puck off!

Blessings to you and yours. And Happy Birthday, Michael! Please give me another 54 years!
