Hiyo! Stealth blog. I prolly should not be post a blog entry at this very moment at work. We have some clients taking a tour of the facility this morning. However, if I wait too long most of the managers will be here, making it ever harder to post this. Despite Monday night rehearsal, the missus and I were able to catch the final quarter of Stanley Cup Game 7. By then the score was already 2-0 in the Devils favor. We saw the 3rd and final goal by the Devils as well as some amazing saves by both goalies. Since this was my first year paying any attention to hockey, I was surprised to learn that, aside from the Stanley Cup being award, the NHL gives out another prize - the Conn Smyth trophy. It is awarded to the MVP of the entire playoffs - not necessarily to a player on the winning team. I can't think of another sport that does that. It's a very classy touch by those at the NHL.

Still looking for a play to live. We saw a two-level town home over in Arlington during the lunch hour yesterday. Huge, HUGE place with tons of space for very cheap. The upstairs was great! The downstairs...not so great: grasshoppers, water damage, mildew, and circa 1970's faux wood paneling everywhere. Then we started talking to our landlord -- F R E A K! He gave us this three-page front and back handout about things he wants up to do while living in his place. Some things were no-brainers, like take out trash and area rugs for the hardwood floors. Others points were a bit demanding: professional cleaners once a month, restrictions on taping or nailing things to the walls. After we finished reading this he says to us, "This place has been on the market for a month and half now. I show it to a lot of people but I never hear from them." Well, yeah, when you hand someone a list like this. We might have been willing to live with the list and the faux wood if Mr. landlord had not changed the move-in date. I was told 7/15 over the phone on Sunday. On Monday, the move-in date became 6/15. So screw you. It’s a shame since there was soooo much freaking room.
