A weblog about stuff and junk by Jake Sutton
Rode the Bonnie Black into work today. All went well. (Yippee!)
[BTW: The Wife thinks the bike's name is "Betty" -- as in "Black Betty", the badass Leadbelly song. I mostly know the version by a band called Ram Jam, which took over Boston Bruins broadcasts in the 90s thanks to Cam Neely naming it as his favorite song.]
Lacroix resigns as Avs GM, will remain team president
Lacroix and owner Stan Kroekne said they decided before the lockout that wiped out the 2004-05 season that Lacroix would spend one more year as GM.
Huh… Total surprise to me. I can’t even imagine how this bodes for the near-term future of the team.

Well, it’s a shame, but we had a good time.
Work is… um… aggravating/draining these days, and much to my surprise, I’ve had a bit of a social life in the after work hours lately.
So… Yeah… Light on the posting. Nothing much going on worth reporting anyway. I have continued to post junk to del.icio.us in the mean time, though. You can spy those under the “Link Dump” tab.
I get to go to my first NHL playoff game tonight, though. Sadly, it may be to witness my Avs get swept by the Mighty Ducks.
For the record, my Viva El Papi KinTee got good reviews at last night’s poker game.
Every time Chris Drury finds himself in a spotlight, he always seems to pull out a mirror to reflect some of the shine onto Travis Roy.
So far I’m loving the first round of the NHL playoffs, and not just because my Avs went down to Dallas and took a 2-0 series lead, either. There’s also the fact that the NY Rangers are getting trounced — always a good thing in my book. Then you have the scrappy Edmonton Oilers managing to hold their own against the mighty Detroit Red Wings. (Avs fans always root against the Red Wings except when they play the Canucks.)
The Buffalo-Philadelphia series is extra fun for me, though. As much as I love Peter Forsberg, I just can’t get behind the Flyers, so to see them getting stomped into mush by a Sabers team featuring former BU players Chris Drury (team captain, no less!) and Big Mike Grier practically makes my eyes well up.
In the games I’ve managed to catch so far, there have been blowouts and nail-biters, but certainly nothing boring.
