I actually had a pretty big weekend for once. Yesterday, I went to Giants Stadium for the international friendly between the US and the Argentine national soccer teams. I’ll have a separate post about that later.
This post is about Saturday, when my dad and I went to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to watch [...]

Note: Whenever I visit a new sports stadium or arena, I like to post some of my thoughts and pictures about it soon after my visit. Believe it or not, there are a lot of “stadium geeks” online, and these posts are pretty popular. Unfortunately, I’ve been lazy for a few [...]

If you’ve been checking out my website over the past month or so, you might have noticed two things:
I’ve been lazy about updating recently.
This site is lacking in color.
So, I thought I’d try to kill two birds with one stone!
Believe it or not, I have been getting out of the house a little bit to do things [...]

For once, I’ve got a few action-packed days.
Hockey
Yesterday, I went to the Flyers’ SkateZone ice rink in Voorhees to watch the Philadelphia Flyers’ prospects scrimmage against the Washington Capitals prospects.
SkateZone was the first place I worked; I started there almost exactly seven years ago, as a scorekeeper and clock operator. I [...]

This is a HUGE week in sports. Here are my thoughts, alphabetically by sport.
***
Cricket:
(If you’re not familiar with the sport of cricket, here is a little primer I wrote a few months ago. Or you can just scroll down to read my comments on other sports.)
Rather than this specific tournament, my first comment is on Twenty20 cricket itself:
If you’re [...]

Well, the Hershey Bears’ season ended last night with a loss.
I can hardly complain; two finals in two years is still pretty good. Two years in a row, I got to see them play in June (I supposed it’s too late now for me to whine about the parking lot flood at the Giant Center [...]

I’m suffering through incredibly slow and unreliable Internet access. (I don’t know what has happened these past few days, but it’s terrible.)
I’m spending my summer at my grandmom’s.
But most importantly….
THE HERSHEY BEARS HAVE ADVANCED TO THE CALDER CUP FINALS, AND THEY’RE PLAYING THE HAMILTON BULLDOGS!
If anyone wants to join me out in Hershey [...]

Don’t blink; you might miss something.
As you probably know (since I haven’t really shut up about it), I just got back from a week in San Diego a little more than 48 hours ago. It was my first time in California (my first time west of Arkansas, actually), and I had a GREAT time!
It’s funny; no [...]

I’ve tagged this post as “travel,” but in reality, nothing in it requires me to go very far from home!
With the beautiful weather this week, I felt like going for a bike ride.
Well, once I realized that my bike had a flat tire and that I didn’t have a pump, I decided on a walk [...]

So, here’s what my brother and I did last night:
We drove to Binghamton.
We watched most of a hockey game.
We drove home back home.
Every year, RBK Hockey gives away a limited number of tickets for certain AHL (minor-league) hockey games on their website.
When my brother went to claim his this year, they were all out of [...]
