Fun with Video on a Rainy Weekend

14 March, 2010

If ever there was a Blockbuster/NetFlix video weekend, it’s this one in D.C. — maybe five inches of rain Noah’s Ark-ing us across the region.

Chance To Look Real Red, White and Blue Good for These Winter Olympics

Forgotten No Longer: The 1960 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team

21 December, 2009

There’s been a good deal of online chatter this week regarding third sweaters. Eighteen NHL teams will introduce alternate jerseys this season, according to the Fan590’s Howard Berger.
