However everyone in the WCHA split. So a .500 we sit tied for third. One game this Saturday against the Russian Red Stars. Should be interesting. Then a non-conference series with Harvard the weekend after that.
And those Vikings never cease to astound me on how they can snap defeat out of the jaws of victory. Five turnovers and still in a position to win and then a sixth turnover at the half yard line with 00:09 left. How did the ref's miss that facemask that would have nullified the turnover? Oh, well.

Mike, congrats on your son's victory. Did he get any goals and/or assists? Question: 3-0 game. Why the shoot-out?

Status: offline 		Thanks for the good vibes, Brothers!  Still waiting for a reply on the day and time of the 3rd interview round.  I'm trying to wrap my head around what it means that they want to do a 3rd round.  The account exec and my recruiter at the contracting agency both told me all along that this company always does 2 rounds of face to face interviews, so the 3rd round is new to them, especially since it is with two of the company executives.  The word my recruiter got this morning is that everything still looks positive, so my gut tells me that they may possibly be considering an expanded role for me.  My interview with the CFO as part of round 2 last week included lots of "big picture" quality ideas that he is looking for a way to implement, so maybe things are growing out of that discussion. 

In any case, thanks for being a supportive audience as I ramble on, trying to make sense of the process.  It is crazy to be so excited, positive, and yet so nervous about something, all at the same time.

Good morning, y'all.


That reminds me of a debate between two Southern colleagues of mine as to whether the plural of y'all is "all y'all" or "you'uns".


They were both wrong. Y'all is already plural (the contraction of "you all") and thus no educated southerner would use it when speaking to a solo person.


You must be talking about some very strange sort of southerner, because I have personally been referred to as a "y'all" and I'm certain that I was the only one there.

Setting up a third round of interviews for later this week at my potential new employer with 2 more of the executives.  I've been promised that this is the last round of interviews.  


Good luck!

Yes he is. Everyone knows that the hole in the roof of Texas stadium was so that he could watch his team play.
