Rocky V

The Scene was set. Tommy Gunn, new heavyweight world champion has been goaded by his promoter to prove his worthiness by defeating his one-time trainer, Rocky Balboa. In a street brawl, the two opponents meet. Although Rocky has been known as the "greatest", Tommy seems to have the upper hand in this fight, repeatedly, knocking Rocky down. We don't see Rocky's fire until one time, as he lies on the ground, blood pooling from numerous orifices, that he reflects on his trainer, Mickey, telling him"Get up, Ya Bum!" Rocky does indeed get up and proves himself again to defeat Tommy Gunn on the mean streets of Philidelphia.

Get up, ya bum. That's what my wife says to me in order to encourage me to post another blog.

Despite what she may lead you to believe, I am not in favor of deceiving our as-of-yet unborn child about the best hockey team to cheer for. I know that I will be able to turn back the pages of history and say, "In the Year 2006, Edmonton Oilers, although barely making it into the playoffs, were able to bring back Canada's glory, the Lord Stanley's Cup. A feat which your mother's team, the Flames, were not able to do in 2004."

You have to admit, The Oilers have proven themselves no "fluke" team as someone I know (Nathan) would like to believe. They now look to take the Western Conference with ease from the struggling Ducks. I would honestly like to know what everyone's opinion will be when the Oilers go all the way, and I prove myself a prophet with my declaration of the Oilers being the Stanley Cup Champions for 2006! It will be interesting to say the least. I know I'll have an email for Nathan.

Well, I suppose there's more out there than hockey at the moment. Some would try and convince me that having a baby might even be more important, although I'm not convinced yet.

For those who are wondering, yes Meg is doing fine. There's nothing major to report in fact. It still doesn't even feel like we're pregnant, really. All that assures us that we are is two blue lines on a little test. Not a lot more though. We're eager to post the Ultrasound photos on here when we have them done, although we'll be keeping the sex a surprise, to be sure.

Well, that's a quick update for ya. Thanks for all your comments!
