Haven’t done this for a couple years but here’s my picks for the Stanley Cup Playoffs… Well, sort of. Unless I’m missing something, the geniuses at the NHL have apparently managed to create a highly touted interactive feature that has a pop-up “Tiebreaker” box that can’t be moved or cancelled (at least on a Macbook […]
Got home and Shea said “Why did you post the word ‘Mark’ on your Facebook today?” Huh? So I look: My boss’s name is Mark but I don’t even have him on Facebook. I have another work colleague I interact with fairly regularly named Mark but same thing – not on my Facebook. I […]

Who knows – maybe this could become another annual post tradition? Anyhow… 1. My Family So fortunate to have […]
