06/20/2009 - Caught Live Wire at the State Theater again last night. I saw them last September with my son Colin for the first time.

All I kept thinking last night was; "What a great rock show! Everyone I know should come see them". You know, even if you're not into AC/DC like I am, you'll love this performance. I guarantee it.

06/13/2009 - Took a day trip to St. Michael's, MD. Nice little trip just over the Bay Bridge. You've got water, boats, crab houses and coffee houses, and an overall small town feel. You could spend a couple of hours or a whole day here taking in the sites and sounds of this great little town. Great day trip spot for a shutterbug.

05/29/2009 - Colin played for the Ashburn Power Play Selects team this spring season. The team practiced 6 times and the competed in one tournament. The team, a single a division team went to the finals, but lost to the only AA division team playing. Not too bad.

Colin shared the net with teammate Michael Fiedler. Both played well and each had about 90% save percentage.

05/22/2009 - Colin's sixth grade school portrait is in and he's got the long hair draping down over his eyes. He does this because he thinks he's cool. I know when I was his age, I had long hair too (I know hard to imagine), but I kept the hair out of my eyes for portraits.

Yes I know he's a cute kid, but he could move the hair from his eyes.

05/13/2009 - The Caps season is over and it ended on a very disappointing note. I'm not bashing the Caps, just saying that game was not played by the Caps I have been following this past year (or past seven years).

On a high note, Colin and I met Dennis Maruk, a Caps alumni who was there signing autographs and allowing fans like Colin and me to take pictures with him.

04/29/2009 - I got four more hot sauces from my girlfriend; Backdraft Fire Sauce, Trailer Trash Hot Sauce and Marie Sharp's Exotic Sauce. She got me one duplicate; Dat'l Do It Hot Sauce which means I get to add this one to the ones I'm eating these days. I'd better get to it. I have about a dozen I'm eating now.

I now have 173 hot sauces in my collection.

04/23/2009 - The Capitals are in the playoffs and I'm following tradition (or superstition) and I'm growing my beard until the Caps either win the Cup or get knocked out of the playoffs. Check out my progress on the Beard-A-Thon website.

While you're there, rate my beard! At last count, I was rated 2 pucks. I'm shooting for 5! As the Caps move along in the playoffs, I'll update the progress of my beard.
