Wish I could print this out for about a dozen ol’ farts I know.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s blessed with such style and grace!

My personal trainer, Eric, is working me out on some plan he’s created where I basically bust my butt for an hour solid in 30 second chunks.  Like doing 30 seconds of bench press, 30 seconds of jumping jacks, 30 seconds of curls, etc. Occasionally he’s willing to let me take a break to get a sip of water, or to puke up some internal organ.  So now I hurt.  In new, exciting ways.  We’ll see how long it takes to either have a stroke or kill him with a jumprope.  

Sock’s seizures are back.  With a vengeance.  This time the vet has him on phenobarbital.  It’s our last hope.  :(

Tonight I get to hang out with some of my lady type friends after work. We’re going to go do some super girly shopping then go out for dinner. I can’t wait!

Luckily for this guy he doesn’t have nearly as classy an act to follow as his predecessor.

VETERAN BROADCASTER JOINS RIVERKINGS AS MEDIA COORDINATOR

(Southaven, Mississippi)– The Mississippi RiverKings of the Central Hockey League are pleased to announce the addition of veteran hockey broadcaster Bob Bakken as its new Media Coordinator.

With the RiverKings, Bakken will voice all regular season and playoff games of the team, behind the microphone at the DeSoto Civic Center and elsewhere around the CHL. He’ll also coordinate all media relations activities and be assisting in the team’s community relations work, corporate sales and ticket sales.

“I am excited about becoming a part of the RiverKings hockey tradition,” Bakken said. “This is a great organization and I look forward to representing it with the professionalism and passion for hockey that I’ve brought to my broadcasts over the past several years with America’s version of major junior hockey.”

Bob comes to the RiverKings after voicing broadcasts of the Omaha Lancers for the past six seasons. The Omaha franchise is part of the United States Hockey League, and this season won both the league’s regular season and playoff crowns. With it, the Lancers also won the USA Hockey Tier One Junior National Championship.

In his role in Omaha, Bakken was the “elder statesman” for broadcasters in the USHL, having voiced a total of 14 seasons, six in Omaha and a total of eight seasons in two stints in Sioux City, Iowa.

RiverKings’ Director of Business Operations Dave “Flab” Mattice says, “I think Bob brings a lot of experience to us. He comes highly recommended from several people and I think he’s going to be a great new voice for the RiverKings.”

In addition to his time in the USHL, Bob has an extensive radio broadcasting background with stops in Minnesota, Kansas, Iowa and South Dakota. He has earned several awards for sports and news reporting.

Tacos are bad.  Bad evil-ness.  Tacos keep you at at night grumbling and chewing Tums.   Yuck.

Warning: there are a few spoilers lurking in this post, so if you don’t want me ruining any of the Hulk for you, don’t read any further.

This weekend we managed to get out to see The Incredible Hulk.  I don’t care what anyone says, this is an amazing movie.  Yes, it beat the pants off the last Hulk movie, which wasn’t hard to do.  But this movie was so much better, it’s giving Iron Man a run for it’s money. And yes, Tony Stark does make an appearance in this, setting the stage for some future Iron Man/Hulk action (I can’t wait).  Norton pulled off playing Banner and though I’m showing my age, I love the fact that this is so much more like the TV show.  It pulls the best parts from the comic and combines it with the way Banner is always on the run.  Both those elements were missing from the last film.  And, for the testosterone driven, this movie is non-stop action.  It managed to have plenty of plot for those of us that care, and tons of action.  That other Hulk movie was all story, no action and this one was the exact opposite!  

With the release of two such great superhero/comic book movies this year, I’m thinking that this might be the year that makes me want to see movies in the theater again.  And I am definitely going to have to revisit my Top 10 List!

In case you haven’t noticed, you’re not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy!  Ok, you might still be in Kansas (sorry) but you’re definitely not a www.hoorayblog.com anymore.  Thanks to my wonderful husband, I’ve got a URL that makes a lot more sense now.  So make sure you get any links to pointing in the right direction, kiddies!
