I know that hockey is not the most popular sport, but I happen to think it’s one of the best sports to watch for non stop action. Football is exciting for 20 seconds, then there’s down time. A team scores a touchdown, it goes to a commercial. Then they kick off and it goes to a commercial. Baseball is very boring to watch, and pro basketball is painful to watch until they get into the playoffs. So anyways, The Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup for the 4th time in 11 years and Motown is hopping. If there’s any town that deserves a break, it’s Detroit. With the economy sucking, and the housing market in shambles, Detroit needed something to bolster it’s mood. Right now, the people are walking around with smiles on their faces, and a spring in their step. This “high” won’t last too long, but it’s a welcome relief to the everyday doldrums, and it’s something that can be enjoyed every time the Red Wing fan looks at his $30 hat and $25 tee shirt he bought to commemorate the occasion. Recession? We don’t need no stinking recession!
I was diagnosed with MS about 4 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 3 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 3 marathons in a year and a half.
