25 November, 2008

Our good friend Puck Daddy has taken our local (cutiepie) girl goalie’s story to his rarefied realm, with video of her successfully staring down the Virginia Tech’s men’s team shooters at a recent practice. Good on you, PD.

Keeping the Company of a Snow Angel Amid the Glitter of the Golden Dome

24 November, 2008

The second-best pastime in frozen conditions may well be football in the snow. Playing tackle football in the immediate aftermath of a serious snowfall ranks among the favorite recreations of my Washington youth. White-out football is also great to watch on TV. But even better is being in four or five layers, all rosy-cheeked, on [...]

14 November, 2008

Were I a judge in the Miss America Pageant, a capacity in which I like to think I would be distinctly over-qualified to serve, I would seek to distinguish America’s great beauties and talents by their knowledge of . . . hockey. The 2009 Miss America Pageant will be held in January in Las Vegas, [...]

But being rebuilt as both Leonsis and General Manager George McPhee targeted 5 years ago, I believe, [...]
