Who Used To Own It? West Indies Edition - Round Two
My thanks to The Guy for being the only person with the audacity to try his fortune against the second round of Who Used To Own It? West Indies Edition. Good show, old bean! I now beseech the rest of you to summon your courage and banish foolish thoughts of embarrassment or cowardice. All who play Who Used To Own It? are members of a fellowship, a fellowship of the curious, of those who seek to better know the vast and wonderful world about them. Play the game and take up the bonds of fellowship! Hoping that lightning will strike twice, this is your invitation to step up to the plate.

The Irrevocable Shackles of Matrimony: Matrimania - St. Louis
My invitation to the nuptials of The Guy and The Gal arrived in today's post! Huzzah! On a somewhat less jovial note, I will be journeying to the far bank of the Mississippi River via motor car by way of Columbus, Ohio, where I will pool my resources with a pair of traveling companions, a married couple. Drat and double drat.

There are many slings and arrows involved in having an erstwhile best friend.

Believe: Red Wings 4-3 Avalanche
Five down, eleven to go. Best of seven: Detroit 1-0 Colorado.

I admit to being a little worried there at the end of the second period, and the second couldn't tick off the clock fast enough at the end o' the third, but any win you can walk away with is a good one. And illness or no, it is always nice to see an opposing goaltender chased from the net. It's not the same as it was, but I still hate the Avalanche. Jerks.

Project TROIKA
The work continues apace, but something curious is happening. The more work we do, the more work we want to do. This is especially true of K. Steeze, our fearless leader. There are now four discrete B.T.W. endeavours underway: Project TROIKA (Steeze and me, to be joined by The Professor); the second R.C.Y. album, CODENAME: Koala (95% Steeze, the rest of us will join in later); the next Smith and Winkler picture (Ki-El and The Professor, "supervised" by me); and a short story (The Guy and Steeze). We are experiencing something of a Blue Tree Whacking renaissance and in the words of Dr. Peter Venkman, "I'm excited to be a part of it!"
