...lovely...

...unbelievable...only about 5 blocks from home, and a kid in a Nissan Quest decides the intersection is a 4-way stop when it isn't...

...I'm okay, and even more importantly so is Sierra, who was with me for a nice ride with the windows down and the sunroof open...

...but dammit the car's barely a year old...

...well, I'll be sure to put up "after" pictures too...

...a shoe has been thrown...

It's a baby...yay baby!

Sorry it's a little late, but congrats to Tim & Mona on the arrival of Allison Hope...6 lbs. 13 oz....such a pretty little baby, with cool dimples on her cheeks...so here's to another niece, and another Taurus in the family!

A few more cool pix...

Mike & J.R. (was it his last game?)

Roenick & Morrow (has anyone ever been called "Cap'n Crunch" before?)

"Stone Cold"?

Still tired...

...I can't believe how tired I still am, and all I did was watch the game...

...can you imagine playing 2 full games, plus the start of a 3rd, all in one swoop? nuts...

...I just hope the Stars are able to get a little rest from this before game 1 Thursday...

...let me say that Turco has finally proven himself to me by getting to this point, and it's not just based on last night, as amazing as he was...I think he's really stepped up after finally getting help from the offense, and hasn't really had a bad game yet...this is what he needed to do to regain the confidence and trust of a lot of fans who felt the same way I did...I can honestly say that, as much as I'd love to see the Cup being skated around again, I would not be disappointed with the guys if they don't make it past Detroit...I'm not giving up on them, because I do think they can do it...I just think they've worked so hard these first two rounds that you can't help but appreciate them for that alone...

...8 wins away...

Helluva Game!

...more on this tomorrow, but I had to post to prove I was awake for it...

...Stars win 2-1 in the 4th overtime, and the 8th-longest game in Stanley Cup history...

...BELIEVE!!!...
