How Now Brown Cow?

So I managed to get through my course on being a mid-level administrator (which, by the way, I'm not). It was a tough class, but I learned a lot. I also learned that the class has an expiration date. If I'm not promoted to Lieutenant within the next two years, I have to take the course again. Yeah, like that's going to happen. No pressure, Chief.

Saw the Pat McGee Band this past Saturday night. Damn, that was a good time. Went to dinner at Applebee's first and polished off more than my fair share of 23 oz. beers. Gotta love the Brewtus glasses. Then wandered up the street to the bar where the band was playing and they had Sam Adams draft on special. It wasn't even my birthday! The band was excellent. Heard all my favorites: "Runaway," "Beautiful Ways," "Annabelle," and "Must Have Been Love," to name a few. I love cheap shows with cheap beer.

Today is the first day of the 2006-2007 hockey season! How damn cool is that? It's been a long wait. I'll be on the sofa promptly at 7PM to see the Sabres play the Hurricanes. I'd stay up and watch the 10PM game, but unfortunately I need to be up at 4AM again tomorrow for work.

Saturday night I'll be the happier-than-shit, half-in-the-bag, tall white guy at the Capitals' home opener. My tickets showed up in the mail last week and I've been looking at them every day in anticipation of what surely will be a great night. Of course it doesn't hurt that one of my favorite pubs is a half a block away from Verizon Center. Look for me in 103! Game on, mofos!
