Introduction
My wife has suggested that I invest enough time with this laptop that I should consider doing something useful with it for a change. She is right. So, at her behest, I have become a blogger. I really never really aspired to such dizzying heights in my life, so I am here now.
(I also happen to enjoy writing...Commenting on the human condition. I will attempt to be light and funny. There is too much serious stuff going on anyway.)
A little about the name...hockeycestmoi....Well, I play ice hockey. Let me correct that I love playing ice hockey. I try to play as much as twice a week. If I could, I would play three times a week. How long I will play really depends on well how long my knee can take it. I am middle aged but that does not stop me from lacing it up with the kids. I was drafted this summer to be a team captain...So far, we are 0 and 3 and have been outscored about 40 to 3. My team was assembled from players who had no team. Now, here is the thing about hockey players. They love the game. My teammates save for two are in their forties and one fifty year old. (That guy is my hero.) Even though we are getting killed, now, we will be there every Sunday, ready to take on these kids. I do expect a turnaround though. Did I mention my optimism?
Last two seasons, I played on the championship team. I say play..But really I got to watch these guys fly n the ice and every once in a while score a goal or make a great pass. That was great. This season is a challenge. We will do it.
Aside from hockey, I have a serious job. You need to do something to pay the bills. I may express my opinions on the the corporate world later and the hypocrisy of it all. I reside in the Northeast US. Ok..I live in Jersey.....Well that at least is where I have been sentenced by my carrier. There is more to New ersey than just Atlantic City, the shore and the Newark airport. At least that is what the guide says. When I find what else there is, I promise to let you know. And, yes, I am not from New Jersey. I am a foreigner. My status is a resident alien. Thus, I cannot vote in this country. So my politics are not important...Yeah, right. I am a proud liberal and not afraid of it. I wish more liberals would stand up and say that.
Hey, my first post. I did it. I guess now I have to fill in such nonsense as template, profile and settings. I guess that officially makes me a blogger. I can't wait to tell my mother.
