Pilot Post

On this the 7th day of December, we enter a world full of excitement, camaraderie, gossip and procrastination. This judgment-free blog will connect all of us in the group with things that are relevant and noteworthy in fields including, but not limited to: sports, food, television, board games, drinks, work-appropriate-weekend-stories, knitting and basically anything else that warrants discussion.

Following last night's butt-kicking by the Patriots, I'm at a loss for words as to how incredible watching (and/or freezing at) that game was. Mark Sanchez officially displayed his best Peyton/Eli Manning confused face and Tom Brady is now a Super Bowl victory away from reaffirming that he is in fact a God among men. In other football news, my fantasy team hit a bump in the road this week and dropped to second place. Tough pill to swallow but it's all about performing in the playoffs so I'll redeem myself then. Has the Lymphoma group forgiven Michael Vick - vote?

Song of the week: Mat Kearney - Annie

Hockey fans out there, the Bruins just pulled out and unconvincing victory against Buffalo and continue to chug along, not too far off the pace in the Northeast division. Sidney Crosby is a man possessed the last 3 weeks and the hockey news of the week is that Detroit and Pittsburgh seem destined for a repeat matchup in the finals, would be 3 out of the last 4 years.

On to television. I started this week by watching Minority Report. Given, it's an older movie but after watching Virtuosity last week, I have to admit that late 90's and early 2000's were packed with many fantastically strange movies that pitted top echelon actors in really uninspiring and somewhat silly roles. Then again, Johnny Depp has made a career of it so who am I to judge? For the religious TV watchers in the group, throw out some ideas for good shows to start watching. I've been holding out since The Wire and have yet to devote a day to Boardwalk Empire.


Keeping it simple this week: Hugh Jackman. Cons in this picture - Needs a little more tan, shoulder vein;  Pros - Great beard and legit pecs.

  1. Question 1: Has the Lymphoma group forgiven Michael Vick? I have not however he is an excellent football player.

    Question 2: For the religious TV watchers in the group, throw out some ideas for good shows to start watching. Damages & Dexter are 2 of my favorites right now.

    Overall comments on the blog...I am speechless and I love that your profile picture is Tom Brady!

  2. Outstanding blog. Thinking of starting one myself. Michael Vick needs to become a huge advocate of something like the SPCA and spend much time working on it before I will really forgive him.

    Did everybody notice that Adam Vinateri once again saved the day for his team Thursday night?

  3. I am very excited to see my photo is back up!

    Michael Vick said he wants a dog now because his kids want one. Michael Vick is not ready for a dog. In addition, I truly hope that he does not make it to the Superbowl.

    I will bring my reindeer sweater in for Sasha. Too late for Christmas, but would work on New Years.

    Last but not least, I thought your worst day at work was the day I told you I had resigned!
