On salmon and beer and hockey and Syracuse basketball

I hate to brag (ok, well, if I really hated to brag, I wouldn’t have a vanity website), but I have to say, I was very happy with the way dinner turned out tonight. George and I grilled up some lemon-butter-herb salmon and fresh asparagus.  I think that’s a valid combination, isn’t it? Regardless, my [...]

Princeton University Hockey: Baker Rink

I guess it was fitting that my last post was about profession fishing, considering that I posted it during the Bassmaster Classic.  Ike didn’t have a great tournament, but he’s still a great angler. ANYWAY! Did anybody see that Syracuse-G’town game on TV tonight?  Wow!  We beat the hell out of the Hoyas! They even [...]

When I was a kid, in second grade, I think, I read one of these books: Nowadays, this guy plays hockey. Cam Jans(s)en! 

Abbyland on Tour ’07: Pittsburgh!

“We work hard; we play hard” The last time I saw a hockey game with the Swiss, I posted a really long, rambly entry that I don’t think anyone read.  This time, I think a long, rambly photo essay might be more enjoyable! Wednesday night, I packed my bags for my mini-trip to Pittsburgh. Since [...]

The story really begins one cold Friday night in Philadelphia in February 2000…

So, I’m off to Pittsburgh to see a hockey game with the Swiss. If you actually read, and actually remember, this entry, then 1) I want to buy you a drink, and 2) you already know most of the story. If not, you can always read it now. OR, you can click on that link [...]

A moment of immature hatred

Rather than wallow in sorrow from the Eagles defeat or recent events in my life, I shall channel my feelings into immature hatred! I know most Hershey Bears fans have moved on, but I, for one, still hate the Philadelphia Phantoms.  I hate that the Flyers ignored the Bears, then worked so hard to buy the Phantoms a [...]

Christmas in Hershey

Stratford, NJ Another change of pace today, and another hockey game. Today, my brother and I met up with my dad and some of his friends for their annual Christmastime trip to Hershey, PA.  If you’re in the area and have never been to Hershey at Christmas, I recommend it.  It used to be free [...]

Hockey game!

Stratford, NJ Yesterday was a nice change of pace, so I’ll change pace here and talk about that instead of getting theoretical about life in Stratford. My mom took off from work early to take my grandmom to the doctor, so I was planning on being home alone.  Just before they left, my brother stopped [...]

A TEAM OF DESTINY! A TRUE CHAMPION!

GO BEARS GO!!! #9!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Allez, Gottéron ! (et n’allez pas en vacances)

Sometimes, I plan vacations that I know I won’t take. I’ve probably told this story before: when I was in Strasbourg, for spring break, I wanted to go to Gibralter and Morocco.  Earlier in the semester, I had mentioned my plan to some other students.  I couldn’t get the time off from my internship, but they [...]
