It's sort of quiet out there...NYTEX Sports. Went by to hug Mike and tell him I missed him while in Canada, but...he, some dude I don't know and Frank were locked in a very serious "closed door meeting". ...............I wonder if he just doesn't like to hug?

Think Dan may have gone to visit his dad. I hope his dad is not ill.

COME BACK DAN....WE WANT AND NEED YOU!!!

Did see the Lone Ranger...(Sparky)...closely guarding the Hockey Store. He's waiting to take on his role of Equipment Manager.

On the way out, I stepped into the sales office and was handed a complete sales package showing prices and where the seats are. Don't understand why anyone would complain about not being able to buy season tickets. But.......you're probably waaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of me.

In the old olympic arena, they've put up two or three very professional looking volley ball courts. Impressive!

Sort of drifting now......... You know, in the physical absence of Stuart, I think a lot of us wondered about the "hands on" part of the business in addition to Mike. I'm feeling safer every time I see Frank T. He always seems tense and all business like.........EVERY time I see him. Maybe one thing that sets him apart is he has a $$$ investment in what is happening and what he wants to happen. I think that makes a difference. I think I like that........

Poked my nose through the screen and peered into the concession area. Doesn't look capable of handling crowds. YET! Hope it gets better than it looks.

Having seen this club go to the physical bottom (and I did my fair share of complaining), I'm happy with some things I'm seeing.

You know I drove by the Budweiser center in Loveland, CO going to and coming home from Canada. You get a feeling about it just driving by it. WOW, what a going concern. What blistering assed hot hockey!

I don't have that feeling about the Bs yet, but I feel a lot better than I have in a while.

I'm in for a ticket. And look forward to seeing all my hockey friends again. Moooooooonnnnnnn October!
