4 snow days in a row?!? And likely more? It's a good thing Mom and Dad got back from Mexico (getting well needed rest) before all the snow hit, or they may have been trapped in Toronto. I guess it's not as bad there as it is up in Bruce and Grey County, though. Craaaaazy snowy weather back home, there is … I wish I were there. Ah well, I guess I’ll just continue to put up with the drizzly greyness and the fog. Being able to stay active despite any type of weather is beneficial, so I’m managing to stave off depression. :D Speaking of which, hockey lately has been going well, I’ve been getting called to play out for the Spitfires, and goal at noon-hour shinny on Tuesday was awesome! We’ve been getting 2 goalies out so it’s lots of fun, and I managed to finally put out a decent performance this week. Nothing compared to Raycroft, though! Wow, it’s amazing what a turnaround he’s had, and it’s boding very well for the Leafs. I guess the Preds will be a test, but they often seem to play much better against good teams than against the bottom-feeders, so I’m thinking … 4-2 win for the Leafs. Nice to see Ponikarovsky, and even Antropov (to some extent, although he’s still too slow) continue building on their great return (I have mentioned this before, right?). I think Ponikarovsky would look great with Wellwood and Stajan, whenever Welly gets back.

The Barenaked Ladies concert last week was a lot of fun, especially since I wore my Leafs jersey. A lot of people from the Spits were at one of the shows (they played two Victoria shows), and everyone had a really good time. I would’ve replaced a few of the songs with others, but finally hearing When I Fall live more than made up for any of the ones I don’t care that much for.

P.S. I wrote this yesterday, and just didn't post it until today ...
