John Wall

I am truly excited for the John Wall era to begin.  Even with the Skins and Caps doing well, I want to see the Wiz and what this kid can bring to the franchise.  It's on TNT so you know the rest of the nation wants to find out too.  Can't wait for tonight!!

Alex Is Playing Ice Hockey

So, Alex came to us 2 weeks ago and said she wanted to play hockey.  She doesn't even know how to skate I said.  But, I believe in trying everything (except a mini van) once.  Saturday was her first practice.  She was fired up to get on the ice.  Never knew it took so long to put on hockey equipment.  I have a pointer to first time players, tape up your hockey socks right below your knee, trust me, they will fall down.  She stepped on the ice and fell down right away.  Then she started to cry.  Michelle got her calmed down, from there, she didn't look back.  She fell down a lot, but got up with a smile on her face every time.  The coaches were very patient, 1 on 1 for the most part.  She started to get it and by the end of the 1 hour practice, she was staying on her skates, could pop right up after going down, and was starting to glide around.  She wants to go to open skate today so she can be in the Olympics.  I'm a very proud dad, what could be better, or cooler, on a Saturday morning than coffee and hockey!

Movie Review - The Crazies

I can't come up with something every day for my cutting the cable blog, so I can add a movie review!

My family is out of town, so besides working in the basement, we so need to have a yard sale, I can catch up on horror flicks.  Michelle won't watch them with me so this is the only time I get.  Usually 2-3 weeks out of the year and I can get them all in.

The Crazies is your typical zombie flick, in fact, George Romero is the executive producer for a remake of his original from 1973.  A biological weapon is accidentally released on a small Iowa town and gets into the drinking water.  Eventually, people start going crazy.  A husband and wife fight their way out of town and in the end make it out alive just as the town is getting nuked.  They make there way to a bigger small town in Iowa, and it leaves a sequel open from there. 

If you really want to watch a recent zombie flick, go for 28 Days Later.  Much better than this one and most of the recent horror flicks.
