I decided to do the next 2 weeks on the Olympics because I think we can learn more from the events instead of just who wins or loses. Of course, we have all heard the stories about how each athlete came from humble beginnings and ended up on the world’s greatest stage, so I won’t…

Game in the PNC Arena
As most of you know, last Sunday, my hockey team and I had the chance to play in the PNC Arena. For those of you who couldn’t attend, I decided to write this week’s blog about the game. There was a great article in the News&Observer on Monday and a video on the Canes website….

News & Observer
This week’s blog is going to be short and sweet. I had some irritation with my feeding tube this morning, so I have to lean back in my chair to keep pressure off of it. Of course, typing while reclined isn’t easy, so I got up just to give you some good news. I will…

My Trip to Charlotte
Recently, I attended my first Comic Book Convention in Charlotte. I have always lived in North Carolina, but I have never really experienced Charlotte. I heard that it was huge and stressful making me think it was like Minneapolis, Philadelphia, or Toronto, which I have experienced through my hockey travels. So I was prepared for…

“Obamacare”
Today the Supreme Court upheld most of President Obama’s healthcare act. For the past 3 years we have heard bickering over this subject like always in politics…lots of complaining and no solutions. I believe healthcare needs to change, but I don’t believe it needs a 2,400 page law. Why does it take 2,400 pages to…

It’s Good to be King
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings on winning the Stanley Cup! They were the #8 seed in the west, meaning they were the LAST team to get in. As a Hurricanes’ fan, I know what it’s like to flirt with that #8 seed. Unfortunately, the Canes have had some bad luck recently. The playoffs are…

Hoping for Another…
Saturday could be a big day in American History as I’ll Have Another has a chance to win the Triple Crown in horse racing. I have hockey practice, but you can be sure that I’ll be glued to the television as soon as I get home. My family has always had horses and my mom…

The Triangle’s Best Kept Secret
Those who know me know that my favorite activity during the spring and fall is going to a Carolina Hurricanes game, but what can you do during the long North Carolina summer while dealing with hockey withdrawal? Well there are many baseball options here with Minor League teams and they used to be my haven…

I Still “Like” You…
Don’t worry Facebook, I still “like” you! It has been all over the news how Facebook has flopped in the market and it’s still over-priced. There are lawsuits out now against Morgan Stanley (a lead underwriter handling the IPO) and Facebook because they lowered earnings expectations without telling the world. Facebook filed the paperwork, which…
