Back in the Saddle Again

First to calm everyone's fears neither Shane Doan nor Ed Jovanovski were traded by the Coyotes yesterday at the NHL trade deadline so the possibility of meeting them still exists. Oh and the plane carrying Curtis, the Wonger, and myself arrived in the valley of the sun with no problem.

As astute blog readers know, yesterday was my second favorite day of the year (behind only Hockey day in Michigan). Luckily this year we didn't travel during those important trade deadline hours, so you don't have to read me complain about Jimmy breaking any NHL gossip this time.

The flight down did provide a control room shoutout though. As I talked to the couple next to me I told them what I was going to Phoenix for when I said I worked for FSN the woman asked me if I knew Charlie Ganong! Sorry Charlie (Ha, bet you haven't heard that one before, but I didn't catch her name). So that was an awesome start to the trip perhaps only surpassed by the limo ride to the rental car agency. If people only knew who was behind the tinted windows, boy would they have been disappointed.

First night in and first dinner at a bar, we couldn't make it a single night without bar food. It's going to be a rough month for my "healthier" living.

Alright I'm going to add a new feature to the blog (in addition to my unhealthy obsessions with Mr Doan and Jovanovski). I don't have a title for it yet, but I'll pick one song from my Ipod that best describes my day. For those that don't know my Ipod has 3,000+ songs, some consider my taste in music bad, I like to call it eclectic. One song (well probably more, but one for sure) is banned from winning and that is "We Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who. Mostly because there's the chance it could describe everyday and let's be honest I chose to return therefore wasn't fooled into anything (yeah, keep your comments to yourself or feel free to comment if you like). So without further ado here's todays song: "Watching Airplanes" by Gary Allan. Sure, technically I was the one on the plane today but I still had to wait at the terminal and leaving me and my imagination alone together long enough is never a good combination.

Alright I should probably get some sleep gotta be on my A game tomorrow for the big Charity tilt between those natural rivals the Padres and Mariners.
