Is it the end for our Super hero?

Its not that I have an ego...well o.k. I may but I have always wanted to known as a super hero soooo here I am. No big time powers or stuff like that. I am going down hill fast. It could be age. It could be the fact that my schedule has slowed down so I have more time for my hypochondriacness to kick in. It could be I'm getting a tad under the weather. Maybe I'm in Love with my wife to such a degree its some strange way of trying to relate to the fact shes pregnant and sometimes under the weather. Anyway I'm headed downhill faster than Kirk's and Dail's fantasy football hopes. (I'm in both leagues so I'm taking cheap shots at both commish's) It started with the famous eye infection on the weekend. That has translated to a sore throat and headache all week. I think the eye medicine irritated my throat. Isn't it weird when I put the drops in the medicine would work its way down my throat ten minutes later. Regardless.... it did. When I swallow my coffee a second ago my ears and throat burned. Brillant! Who knows but the good thing is I'm losing weight like crazy. I' continuing to run and the fact that I hate food at this point and my new "no greasy food" philosophy has me weighing like a toy "dog" that Alyssa has just purchased. Ohh I will prevail my people..don't you wory. I will feel better in ten to fifteen years perhaps. I truly believe when I actually get out of the house and my schedule goes crazy (Aug. 9th - Nov. 15th) I won't have time to cry like the girl that my third child won't be...think positive Jeff...Boy, Boy, Boy! Life will be better for our super hero. I just hope the evil forces in the universe don't all rise up to destroy me before my health comes back.

Weekend

So I take my new team down to a warm up tournament in the Metro-plex this weekend. Basically this is a tournament to get the team ready for the next two weekends in which we play games to get in the "good " leagues in Dallas. Anyway its three weekends of soccer. I don't mind as much - get a per diem for food and hotel room free. Gotta love hotel rooms no cleaning up and I can get back after games and nap in 40 degree air without interruption. Well to be honest it gets old after a while - the older I get the harder it is with not being home. Well we won three and lost one so good weekend....except for a little friend called "pink eye" that moved into the right eye on Friday night and decided to blind me for most of Saturday. So fun times coaching in 100 degree temps with sweat running down my face and my right eye blinded and burning and itching! Ohh yea you guessed it Mr. left eye decided he was missing out and got a lil infection in him. Thank goodness we have a parent on my team that called in a prescription and the right one is still bothering me today but for the most part starting to clear up.
We did get TIVO this weekend though!! Ben and Alyssa convinced us with the demo at their house. Fun times watching NASCAR last night - how about Rusty finishing second!! Hold back ur excitment folks we still have a bunch more races!!

What you Doing?

We have been home for about twelve hours and I already miss that question. Corben (Ben and Alyssa's two year old boy) asked me that question for six days straight and I never got tired of it! What you doing?/what's Happening? Hearing him pronounce certain words was pure and simple comedy also. Of course he's probably blogging now about the strange guy who talked to him non stop! I would also like to give a shout out to Addison and Camryn (the Turner girls) for a wonderful time!! Addison actually broke the news that I was going to be a father of a third child to me. She came down stairs and says "Jeff, Kelly has a baby in her stomach". It was great - it didn't spoil it at all, on the contrary, it made the announcement a great story!! I haven't been around little girls a lot and having to sit and watch a tap dancing show or watch as they change into their princess outfits then to ballerina's in a total of three minutes is pretty amazing - especially when I was trying to watch NASCAR. I can't tell everyone how much fun we had in Hawaii and the scenery and events were only the half of it! I actually have to say a nice thing about Alyssa here, so bear with me!! Ben and Alyssa were awesome to hang out with. Alyssa said it best before we left. I think we all were a little like "this could be fun or it could be a little uncomfy" but it was awesome. Besides the fact that Ben and I got shutout when we went deep sea fishing and lost to two inferior opponents on Game night - cheaters! Their friendship and hospitality made the trip what it was - a trip to remember!!
No, my faithful readers, I did not go down into the cage to meet the sharks! It got cancelled because the ocean was to rough and all I needed was a big wave throwing a shark in the tank with me! I did boogie board and came back alive but it was a scary first half an hour!! We saw dolphins when we went deep sea fishing - I was convinced they were great whites until they jumped out of the water - tricky dolphins! By the way, Ben's restaurant that Alyssa makes him "slave away at" is pretty amazing. I know it gets old for him but its on the water and has great live music - I'm sure its not fun waiting on people all the time but its no McDonalds!
Anyways once again we had a blast and we can't thank the Turners enough. Addison - tell your mom you can have all the deserts at 9 a.m. you want. Camryn - thanks for the example of what I have to look forward to, if I have a young tap dancing/princess of a girl that's cool and cute!! Corben - What you doing right now??

Buckeye Time

We're in Ohio! We left Saturday about 3pm and got to The Buckeye State at 9:30 a.m. I decided to drive all the way until I got to the annoying last two hours and was about to go nuts driving , so I let my beautiful wife take over for the last 120 miles. She got pulled over and honked at (for trying to drive a family in a mini van off the road) in the first hour. We made it though and I went to sleep immediately after arriving. We will split time between Kel's family and mine (they live an hour apart). At my house I get the familiarity of home/Mom's cooking/hanging out with the family/eating lunch with Dad at Rob's buffet!! At Kelly's house I get the reading time/Mom -in- laws cooking/"leave Jeff alone" time. I truly love coming to Ohio.
We're still at Kel's house and leave tomorrow for Hawaii. Watched a special on the animal channel last night - sea snakes are the 5th most dangerous snake in the world and they live in the Pacific!! I'm not really big on airplanes so this will be a joy tomorrow!! Three takeoffs and three landings. I'm going to be a wreck before a shark gets the chance to attack!!
I went to the movies alone - I love that - going with people - always feel the need to talk. Saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith - great film, Pitt's laid back humor in the movie is outstanding!! Jolie - well shes just..shes just.. well wow. Anyway, fun film!!
I made cuts on my club teams before we left and have been on the computer or phone two to three times a day!! Oh well - "its called a job, jeff".
Well wish me luck on the plane - good grief my stomach is in knots already!!

Kirk - by the way I commented on your pedicure blog - ughhh
Alyssa - new blog? Good grief its July!!

Healthy Food High School

hello party people. First of all - sorry for no new blogs lately. I've been a tad busy and big time lazy - won't happen again. I feel as if I haven't visited the therapist in awhile!! Actually I'm not sure anyone reads this anymore - which would be good - then I really could confess stuff. HA !Things have been great, I really love the summer when I can get away from soccer. I'm becoming my Dad - he loves to work in the yard out in the heat. Suddenly I'm loving mowing, landscaping. Who knew.
Jeffy is on a diet! I'm tired of having a gut! Everyone says I don't need to diet but trust me I'm tired of the GUT. So working out everyday, situps til i can't situp anymore and watching what I eat. Get this - No more fried food!! Me, Jeffrey Scott Trimble - no more fried food. I'm crying while typing this! You know how hard it is to eat out and not have fried food? My only concession to this rule is tortilla chips but french fries I'll see ya later (really crying). I'm limiting myself to a baked potato once or twice a week. What do people eat with their chicken or steak if they don't have potatoes?? I'm trying though. Desserts are no big deal - don't like sweets. French Fries/Popcorn/onion rings/chicken (fried)/ Long John'f fish this stuff is who I am!! I don't even know myself anymore!! Grilled chicken/veggies/grilled fish/ diet coke/ salad are my new friends. I feel like I'm transfering schools and hanging out with the uncool crowd - but just like all the uncool kids in school, down the road they will be successful so I'm banking the new diet will help down the road. Grilled chicken actually is pretty cool, good jokes and easy to hang with but salad is a full out dork. This dude picks his nose and is not cool at all. I'm pretty sure that Long John's fried fish pointed and snickered at me in the hall today. This is going to be really hard. Also sure I will have to fight the onion ring on the playground just to save face.

Summer time

Its been a good week. I have came up to the office a couple times because I forgot I needed to turn like three things in last week. Typical Jeff Trimble stuff - I know about it but why turn it in early when I can take forever and rush at the last minute. I swear its a disease - and Jeff number 2 hates it. The whole split personality thing sorry! I have a on the ball getting it done type personality and also a I've got forever so I can always wait til later one. I always seem to think "I can do that tomorrow" then I will get so behind that it becomes a goal to get everything done - which I do - then the cycle starts all over! Anyway I'm all caught up finally and getting ready for another great week of soccer camp!! After that we have a week off then head home to the great state of Ohio and our vacation! Then back for the fall season. Fun times! The blogs of a out of season soccer coach cannot be any more boring - im telling ya. A lot of swimming and cooking out!! Kelly had her big company cookout yesterday and we all swam. I tried the jump off the bored and let ur butt hit the board flip off the diving board. I was 2 for 3 on that dive and the one mess up was enough to officially retire the dive. So then I ate more steak and sausage and gently dove off the board the rest of the time. It was a fun time though! My wife did about forty front and back flips off the board - show off.

Report for Jeffrey Alec and Evan Michael

Well Alec and Evan I am assuming that some day you may read these blogs of mine or maybe your mother will tell you about them. So let me tell you about the State of the Trimble Union.

We are right now (June 11th at 1:21pm cst.) living in our first house that we not renting but actually own. We have lived here for a couple years. I am 34 and your Mom is ummm..22.. (not really but I would get in trouble for saying her age) she's younger than me and thats what's important, I guess. We have a black lab named Dakota and Alec you and her get along really well. Evan I think you freak her out a little but that's mainly because of you trying to tackle her all the time. We live in Wichita Falls, Texas and I'm the girls soccer coach for Midwestern State University. This job will probably be a lot more interesting to you as you get about 7-10 yrs. older. Your Mom works part time for an energy efficiant company. She is there for you both everytime you need her and you both love her to death.
Evan you still suck your thumb which is cute but will have to come to an end soon. Alec you read books like crazy and love to play Star Wars, you bug me everyday to go and see Star Wars 3 Revenge of the Sith. You both play soccer, a sport I would prefer you neither play. Unfortunately you both seem to have a knack for it in your own ways. Evan you also play T-Ball and really have come to like it. Your Mom and I have tried not to push you into playing sports this early but you both have asked to play and we are more than happy to help you out. Your Mom likes to yell at the games and cheer a lot while I seem to like to watch nervously and try not to get to wrapped up in them. I can be a tad intense at sporting events. You probably (as your reading this) already have experienced this. You both swim like fish and go to the Burney's pool almost everyday. We also are able to go out to their Lake house and go out on their boat. You both are already starting to water ski. You have friends and play with Dillon and Erin (the boy and girl across the street) everyday! You all play Star Wars, Pokemon or whatever all the time.
We are on summer vacation right now but in the Fall Alec you will be a third grader - good grief boy - your growing up to quickly. Evan you get to try a lil thing called Kindergarten in the Fall. Your Mom is going to have a rough day dropping you off! We do have some news for you..we are thinking of trying to have a third. This will definately change all of our lives but I have all the confidence in the world you both will be awesome big brothers. Like your Father - you both have become very proficient at the video games and I am proud. You balance this well with being outside and reading so its not an obsession (as it was for me in College). SEE COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS TO SEE HOW THAT WORKED OUT. Well I love you both and thats what the Trimble's are all about right now. I will give you both updates later in the Fall about how things are going. Love ya both!!

Revenge of the ....movie stopping

Well camp is done and all the kids survived. One of my coaches had there baby on Wednesday night so I got the opportunity to work with youngsteres for two days and take his group. We also had a goal fall over and I about called Kelly and told her to be ready to write a bigggg check to a set of parents but nothing bad happened. We had a fun weekend. I was hoping Sunday to relax and watch a lil NASCAR with my Long John Silvers meal that I get ever Sunday after church. I can't change the routinue!! Then I get informed we have not one but two soccer kids parties to go to. Alec's at 2pm and Evan's at 6pm. Both Swimming outside which is awesome after a week of being out in the sun! Plus I got the opportunity to talk to parents about soccer and "how did your camp go". I finally make it back to the house at 8pm and get ready to go see Star Wars 3. Get to the theatre and sit down, relax, watch some great previews and the film starts...an hour later- film stops. I'm no Star Wars Geek (actually I am) but that wasn't the ending I expected... oh wait there's a 14 yr. old movie attendant yelling at us to get in the hall. We're under a severe Thunderstorm warning and there's tornado's spotted. I tried to let her know that I didn't care and to start the dang film back up but everyone was already leaving. So I got my money back and drove home in 65 mile an hour winds to watch the Home and Garden Channel.

Oh I know I complain a lot about my schedule but you people haven't seen anything!!

Heres my check list for the week!

1. Watch NBA game 7 Eastern Conference Finals
2. Sleep In
3. Go to Rob's and Watch NBA game 7...oh I already said that
4. I think my son has a T ball game
5. Probably have to cook out and drink a beer
6. Go to bed late and.. oh see number 2


This is nuts, its no wonder coaches have heart attacks!! My head hurts from thinking about this week of torment.

Crap forgot about 7. watch the complete 4th season of Soprano's (for the 3rd time) because.....SEASON FIVE IS COMING OUT TOMORROW!!!! Its like Christmas and Mardi Gras without presents and well I've never been to Mardi Gras but I've heard things get a lil wacky over there. The times are a tad exciting at the Trimble household - now hopefully my wife won't read this and my schedule won't be interrupted by tedious things like "time with family" and "working around the house."

Rain?

So I go to Dallas again this weekend for our last tournament!! We are supposed to play on Saturday at 10a.m. and 2. We get the first game in and BAM rain.. the tourney doesn't get cancelled - oh no that would be to convenient - it gets suspended for twenty hours!! I have to spend all day Saturday in a hotel room watching T.V. which doesnt sound horrible but... there's forty different things going on at home I could be doing! We ended up playing the number 3 ranked team in the country for this age group on Sunday at 2pm and we tied!!! Well I put everyone of my players on defense and held on but..we tied!! The guys loved it! So Sunday morning it resumes and we play two games and of course my team picks the one weekend I want to be back in Wichita Falls to play their best so we win two games and tie one (see the above sentences) qualify for the quarter finals that night at....9pm! Who plays soccer at 9pm? well the rain messed everything up and we did! First ten minutes of the game one of my players gets a red card (automatic ejection) he talked back to the ref. in a negative manner. So we play 75% of the game a man short. Yea we lost 1-0. So I roll into W.F. at 1:15a.m. for 5 hours of sleep before opening day of our soccer camp. The only thing that will ruin a soccer camp is thunderstorms and there's a chance of them everyday this week. Are you kidding me - we're in Texas! So hereI sit typing with my eye on the accuweather website to see which storm is getting near. I am blessed to have a great camp staff and the Lord gave us great numbers this year to make our camp a success. My wife is about to kill herself answering the phone and listening to problems. Kel and I know we're lucky/blessed to have this so please don't think all I do is complain..which is close to being the truth. We are blessed and appreciate it!

My ......day

9:31a.m. - Compliance officer sees me and lets me know two players are ineligible and two have to take summer school to get eligible - phenomenal

9:45a.m. - Get to my office to e-mail four coaches and tell them I have over committed the number of coaches we need so we can't use them next week- Greattt

10:10a.m. - club manager for team calls and has heard a good player on my team might be trying out for a team in Dallas - Typical

10:30a.m. - Get a call from a player who wants to talk about her role on the team - Yippy

12:00p.m. - Lunch with my wife at On the Border - Halftime!

1:15p.m. - Met with player who might not be excited about my definition of her role on the team - not surprising

6:45p.m. home for a great supper - thank you Lord!

Romance+Comedy=brilliance

Well once again blockbuster DVD through the mail service was a success. I found a romantic comedy that I enjoyed. I have to admit that I really like a good romantic comedy. The good ones are awesome - the bad...Well are just chick flicks. Well the movie I watched was The President's Daughter and I liked it/not loved it but liked it. It was somewhat uneven, kinda "where are they going with this" type at the beginning but really got its legs and had a great middle to end. Loved Katie Holmes and Michael Keaton plays a great Dad/President. I won't go into to it to much - wife hasn't seen it. Oh yea - I'm man enough to admit that I watched it without the wife. Back to the movie - it was good and not some cheesy live happily ever after ending a good solid realistic ending!!
How about that extreme makeover: Home Edition on Sunday night. Good Grief people, it about kills me. Did ya see last week. The police officer who's wife got Leukemia and died at like 27. Leaving him three boys all under the age of four. Ouch it was happy/sad/depressing/joyous. It wore me out. They made them a great house and the community raised $150,000. for the family. It was greatttt. I bet Burgess even got emotional if he watched it. Well that would require him to stay up past 8pm. It would be a close call.

Best and Worst Romantic Comedies

Best
1 Notting Hill - all time greatest "just a girl looking for a boy to love her"
2. When Harry Met Sally - Love the quirks of both characters
3. The Notebook - straight rip out your heart love story
4. My best friends Wedding - gotta love the plotting of Julia Roberts
5. Pretty Woman - gotta love Julia Roberts
6. Four Weddings and a Funeral - British humor is the best but the language (40,000 F words) got it a lil lower ranking
7. Sleepless in Seattle- Tom Hanks is flat out the best actor to play everyman

Worst
1. You've Got Mail - disappointing - expectations way to high!
2. Addicted to Love - Ryan/Broderick ughhh
3. America's Sweetheart - Cusak/Julia Roberts - missed on the comedy

bonus?

Well my wife is gone shopping today so I must remember in two hours to pick up my kids. Good grief no one wants the school calling trying to find out why my boys are still up there. I'm thinking tonight I have to feed and quite possibly bath the boys andddd put them to bed. My goodness I can't just sit and watch basketball and have the night time fairie get those things done. It will be a challenge but I think that I can accomplish these things and keep my mental health about me. Maybe I should clean the house for some bonus points. That sounds like work and knowing my wife theres probably nothin dirty in the dang house. HMMMMM what can I do that gets bonus points from the wife but requires no work?

Later

Sinus Headache?

I'm sitting here smiling because I'm pretty sure that my comment on Alyssa's blog will have her a lil angry. I was just simply trying to reach out and relate to a friend when she doesn't feel well. Comparing a "nasty lil sinus headache" to nausea from pregnancy I'm sure will endure me to all the female/mother types out there.
Good grief did I really have to take the Coed tournament that seriously? I played in goal for most of both games. I had the joy of a 50 yr. old man scoring a penalty kick on me but after that no goals were scored. I did run around a lil so I guess I got my exercise also. For some reason I decided to dive about five times so my lower back is now permantely displaced but really have kept my mouth shut with my wife's hyper extended knee. That was scary looking though!
How about Survivor! Spoiler Alert for those who have not watched the finale. You gotta love the fact that Tom won. He definately deserved it and Katie was killing me. My goodness she drove me insane - how in the world did she think she could actually win?? Oh well it was awesome to have Tom win - I did think the interview show afterwards was boringggggg. Anyways it was fun to watch the show - we had our neighbors over for the finale and had a good time. No knee injury's or no one throwing up from pregnancy so I think we're headed in the right direction!

Time to Relax

I'm in the home stretch to a weekend off!! Fun times everyone fun times. No trips to Dallas this weekend! We do have a few games with our co-ed team but after that nothin! They want me to play in goal for the games - something I swore I would never do after playing for 10 yrs. of my life. I will do it for the team I will not play very well I'm a lil older than I was in College and I'm NOT diving for the ball, but I will try. I don't think we have anything planned outside of that. Well our storage door had fallen off/ the push mower's cord snapped when I pulled it the other day/ and our yard looks like a natural grassland but other than that it should be a work free weekend.
Kelly and I have started to plan our vacation in Hawaii. The options seem to center around the water a lot - who would figure on a tropical island there would be so many water options. I'm going to be serious for a second - I am actually considering getting in the water - inside a cage - and going to look for sharks. This place puts us in a cage at the surface and we can swim to the bottom of the cage and see the sharks swim around us. That would be the ultimate adrenaline rush. Probably to much for me though. I get chills just thinking about it. Something about confronting your fears is cool. I don't know though - it might be to much for my lil heart. I know I'm coming back with an athentic hawaiin shirt - after that its pretty open. Like any good hubby I'll let my wife spend the money as long as I have a few drinks on the beach and she lets have some food I'll be happy. I'm sure she will spend enough money for the both of us. I do want to go see the Arizon monument - I could probably spend a day there.
Oh well I'm ready for the weekend - I act like its a big deal - we are in the last week here and ever student has left for the summer. My weekend has already begun. Oh Yeah I'm also on a 10 month contract so I guess I'm really close to having a lil time off. So maybe its nt the worst job to have right now!

White shirt, anyone?

Well just got back from taking A to Target to get Pokemon cards because he had to put up with getting blood drawn from his arm this morning. Fun times. I hate getting blood drawn so I bet it was no fun for him. Kelly has blogged about the needle that he accidentally pricked himself with.
Its always fun being in Dallas and having your wife tell you about it over the phone then getting off the phone and going to my next game with my team and having 1,000 thoughts running through my mind. We got crushed in that game , by the way, had nothing to do with me being distracted and everything to do with my team getting their @@@ kicked. So then we start to head home and stop at steak and shake for a quick bite. Well the waitress accidentally spills red fruit punch all over the back of my white shirt and down my shorts. I just sat there, my boys (some of my '90 boys were there) started laughing because I didn't even flinch - the day could not get much worse so why should I even move/complain. The poor waitress wanted to give me a free meal/or shake but I wasn't even eating. I was going to eat when I got home. I simply told her no thank you and went outside to see if any cars were zooming thru the parking lot to possibly run over my foot or anything remotely close to getting the day worse. I got home safely after that and had a great evening but what a day!
We did have a great Mother's Day. We went to Samuari for lunch (Japanese food) my wife loves the place then home to watch basketball while my wife spent the day "running around town". I watched the movie Closer - holy cow that movie was a lil intense. Not very good and a lot of bad/ dirty language. I mean A LOT! Decent story and Natalie Portman did a good job in it. I think Julia Roberts "mailed it in " with her part. I'm no critic of movies though. Just a simple man who loves red punch splashed oh so gently on the back of my white shirts!

My boys

Here ya go Alec and Evan:

Don't spread gossip: Whatever it is, it always comes back around to bite ya
Don't forget "yes maam/yes sir"
Don't tell the ending to movies
Don't root against the cowboys til you move out/ or you'll move out a lil quicker than expected
Don't raise your voice to your Mom
Don't forget about books - reading opens your mind
Don't assume jumping from a certain distance will be o.k.
Don't assume
Don't lie - odds are you will get caught
Don't go against the odds
Don't write a note to a girl and give it to her without sleeping on it (the thought not the note)
Don't ever tell two seperate girls at the same time you "like" them
Don't be afraid to call us if your ever out and uncomfortable
Don't pull your socks up until its back in fashion
Don't stop telling your family you love them - its never not cool
Don't promise to much - know what you can do
Don't forget to learn from experience's, good or bad
Don't assume the VCR is taping until you check
Don't assume
Don't stay inside the house all day: rain or shine
Don't be afraid to laugh or cry

Don't grow up

I love you

Jeff is awesome Gordon

I have got a new theory. The more I talk about my "dislike" for Jeff Gordon the more races that he seems to win. Rusty Wallace has wrecked in the last three races and the pretty boy Gordon has won two of three. So I am now officially congratulating Jeff Gordon on his success. You make me proud to share your name Mr. Gordon. Everytime you yell woahhh like a girl I think "theres a man who is comfy in his manhood." You are truly an inspiration to all clean cut yuppies who aspire to race amoungst the red necks. Rock on 24! Hopefully that does something to my curse. Probably not though.
Had great weekend my close friend and his wife had their baby! Cayden Glen (family name) Woodard is here! He is a healthy baby and now eating and sleeping without difficulty. I was very happy for Rob and Stacy. They are so excited. Friday I was at the hospital the whole day hanging out with Rob. Saturday was a laid back day I actually took a nap. We had a few soccer games and went out to the lake (Burney's) and had a great supper. Then played washers. Sunday we had a soccer game and got home to watch NASCAR - we all know how that went - no offense Mr. Gordon. So I sit here waiting for the next adventure to unfold in the life and times of Jeff Gordon's biggest supporter.

Sound of My Fair King and I!

Well the week has gone well. I have nothing tonight but my son's t ball practice and other son's soccer scrimmage. I love it. No club practice or anything to do at school - I can actually be a Dad all night without worrying about others kids.
Just ate lunch with my hot wife and now have the busy afternoon schedule of an off season soccer coach. Staring at the computer/falling in and out of a nap/ reading a little/ I'm telling ya, its a hard knock life! Don't ya just love Annie. Lil girl can sing!
I'm telling ya theres nothing better than a well done musical - not one on the dang silver screen either. One that is done by actors on stage right smack in front of you. Our High School had an awesome theatre arts department and they would get the scenes and props professionally done - it was great stuff. I can only imagine one on Broadway. Gotta love Fiddler/King and I/My Fair Lady. Now lets not get carried away I would much rather see a hockey game/fight any day of the week but a well done musical is a nice change of pace! Can you tell the NHL is on strike - I just talked about musicals for a paragraph - I'm losing my mind!

Favorite Musical : Fiddler on the Roof
