In 2008 a crack blogging team was bound by restrictions of a blogging organization they didn’t build. These men and women promptly escaped from the shackles of the oppression to the freedom of WordPress. Today they survive as a radical bloggers in the nation’s capital. If all you see is the politics, if no one else can give you the real scoop on DC, and if you love your metro region, then maybe you can read: WeLoveDC.

Detroit vs Pittsburgh.
Game 7. All the marbles.
They said it couldn’t be done, the statistics were against them. The Wings, too dominant at home.
Fleury, too fluky.
Osgood, too good.
At 10:43 pm today, ‘they’ were proven wrong.
Penguins win, 2-1.
THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINS HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP!!!
Congrats, boys. Take a bow. You’ve freakin’ EARNED IT!!!!
Excuse me while I go cry now….
I’ve got a few minutes, so here’s some random rundowns:
1.) Still jobless. It’s been a hard three months, with over 150 resumes and covers gone out and nary a word in return. I have had a couple of interviews, but nothing panned out so far. The biggest encouragement I suppose is that I’m only getting – just now – rejection letters from positions I applied for back in March.
1a.) Freelancing. However, I’ve had a few additional ‘bumps’ in the freelancing area. While the downside is that payment won’t be seen for at least another three months, it *is* work that I’ve been able to do. And as a side benefit, I’m in talks with Potomac Press to write one or two books on the gaming industry. Nothing firm yet, but the initial pitches and discussions have gone well. I need to finish a couple of sample chapters for the editorial board as the next step. We’ll see.

And well-deserved. Back in February, who would’ve thought this Penguin team would be repeat contenders for the Stanley Cup? I’ll admit I had my doubts, but I was pretty confident the Penguins would go far.
And far they did.
Not bad for a team whose mascot is a flightless bird.
