PIRATES!
This is very cool. When I was a kid I wanted the Lego Pirates sets that had come out. Later when I got my sons into Lego, they were not available unless you bought them off ebay and paid through the nose for them. Now Lego has come out with the whole series.
This set to the right is Brickbeard’s Bounty, the most expensive set but also the biggest. I have already been asked by two of my boys if Daddy can buy it.
Very cool set.
How low can they go?!?
The Ottawa Senators have dropped from being Stanley Cup finalists 2 years ago to being the second-worst team in the league. IN THE LEAGUE!!!
Just making the playoffs right now is a stretch considering how far off the pace they are. My Opinion (and we all know that’s why you came here to this site), let them fail. The Sens should take a page out of the book of the Toronto Maple Leafs, aspire to fail. Make failure your number one goal. Sounds crazy right? Remember what’s awarded after the Stanley Cup, the NHL Entry Draft.
2009’s Entry Draft has a really powerful graduating class with names like Tavares, Hedman, Cowan, Duchene and Schenn. The Sens can rebuilt and also stick it to all of those Leafs fans who thought they’d have a chance or the divine right to have John Tavares play for them.
So to this years Ottawa Senators I say to you… Dare to Fail. Fail, choke like only the Ottawa Senators can do. There will always be next year. The grass is always green at golf courses in April!
Disclosure: Yes I am still a Senators fan, no hopping off the bandwagon for me, just unhappy with the losses and trying to find SOME silver lining that is the dark cloud of this season!
Now it’s January…
The Christmas Season is over and I can report that all went well. Family listened to what we “suggested” for presents for the kids, wife got me the tools I wanted for the basement, and everyone made it through the season in one piece. Still not sure where we picked up the stomach bug and cold from that followed us into New Years (The gift that really keeps giving).
Here’s one of the presents the kids got, great video as it has about 9 episodes where the normal DVD’s have 6 if you are lucky.
