Marcus Colston's performance tonight will change the fortunes of 3 of the pro league teams. Amazing that it all comes down to one man's performance after 11 weeks!




Yuck!

Bad all year, stayed bad.

Good luck in the playoffs Andre!

... and that was the total for four Days ...

The "polar night" started during that week, meaning that the sun never rose above the horizon. In all honesty though, it isn't (/wasn't) that bad. There was light enough for a couple of hours at least. And when it got really dark and depressing, you could always have a sauna and a couple of beers at the hotel

Edited; Tempus.


You are making "homesick". I actually loved the time I spent in the artic. Yes it was dark all winter , and light all summer. But it was generally dry, if cold. The two years I spent in Seattle I found much more depressing, as I didn't see the sun for months at a time , and it was always raining!


Agreed. It's cold, dry and beautiful.

Picture below taken at mid day

Nice, is that near Daytona? I have an aunt who lives in Daytona... maybe I need to visit her this winter... See some more warbirds, on the side?

I could use a few weeks up there in a cabin with a fire going, a few bottles of scotch, a dog and a bunch of books and movies!

Last in the league. But 1st in the hearts of his countrymen!

You could always switch games. Like to WITP AE?

Steve-O, you have no idea how much I want to play again! I have lots of reminders to keep my AE mistress in the front of my mind, like the fact that my home computer's wallpaper is the AE map.

My mistress has to remain patient with me, though, as I negotiate through the rest of this school year and hockey season. At the end of this year, Alex will have his full driver's license and I get hours of my life back every week. I'll be able to get in lots of triathlon workouts and tend to my mistress, while still taking care of my family. Right now, the excess 20 pounds I've gained are forcing me to trim a bit of sleep from my day/night in order to get in any kind of exercise.

AE is a jealous but patient mistress. She will still be there, demanding as much time as I can devote to her, when my schedule frees up a bit.

Torsten is the really patient one! He's waited over a year since the last turn in our PBEM game that we started knowing it would be a VERY long game. We joke that we will both have long gray beards when we finally finish the game, but we are both determined to finish it one day.

Don't reply on it. My son turned 16. Now I spend a lot of time just trying to find time with him.

What a paradox

Very interesting, Simon. Thanks. I hadn't appreciated Conqueror's efforts in ASW in the later logs until seeing these.

Very true! Despite tying up most of my free time, we've had a tremendous amount of fun together over the years while on hockey trips, etc. It will be even harder for his mom to deal with.

My parents had the solution to this dilemma. 1st they INSISTED that I get my license as soon as possible (I had just turned 15) , they provided me with the use of a "family junker" , then assigned me the role of "designated errand boy and babysitting chauffer".

THEY then had lots of free time. I had none.
