What a boring Sunday. I was restless, really wanted to ice skate but the baseball field is still closed. I called the number and it said it was closed, I even drove there hoping they just hadn't updated the information. I sat around basically all day playing games. Mass Effect 2 is excellent and I'm enjoying it. Was going to go hiking but didn't feel like walking through the snow. Wonder if those boots are waterproof. I doubt it. School starts up next week and I'm not looking forward to it. I have class on Thursday, which will fuck with any open hockey days. I still have to check my schedule to see if I have enough credits to graduate. I'd like to pile it on now instead of having to take a course during the summer. I guess one online course wouldn't be so bad if I really needed it. The real bitch is going to come next year when deciding what to do after this.

Old Country Buffet for dinner tonight. I originally mentioned Paolo's but grew out of that plan as the day went on. Besides that, just hung out. Watched the Ranger's game and have to say they've been pulling out games lately. I don't remember a time when the team has done this. I really like the core of young guys and if we trimmed some of the fat, I think the team would be much better. As it goes, we're still a fairly strong team. Missed Avery's return to Dallas but caught an overtime winner the other night and a good team effort tonight. Holly and I watched that Dog documentry and she wanted to watch a movie but it was 2am by that point and I knew I would fall asleep a few minutes in.

Snow on Friday and Jeremy got the day off from school. We got about two inches. Holly went into work a few hours late and I was glad she did. Another dusting of snow this morning.

Decided to check out the baseball field Monday after Jeremy got out of school. It was open but the ice seemed pretty weak. We both wanted to go but I couldn't imagine skating on there with Dad's skates again and I didn't want to skate with dull skates or make Jeremy skate with them. Drove to Steel Ice to get the skates sharpened. Bundled the kid up and went there on Tuesday but it was closed. There were a few guys playing there and I ratted them out so they wouldn't ruin the ice. We went on Thursday and skated for hours. A few guys showed up and we just played 2 on 2 back and forth. Jeremy couldn't skate and was falling all over the place. He took his skates off after we were there for about an hour. Then I tried to keep him occupied while I played. The one guy was decent and plays in a league outside the base he's stationed. The other kid, who gave me a kind of dirty look when he came, was ok. Two more guys showed up as I was getting ready to leave and two more kids were putting a small net together in the parking lot as I was pulling out. Didn't get to skate the last few days because of the snow.

Sunday morning game is canceled because both teams couldn't make it. It's in our best interest to postpone it because most guys couldn't make it and I didn't feel like going Iron Man hockey. Hope to get some ice time in on Sunday. Monday I'm supposed to meet Chris down at Stroudsburg but I don't know how well that's going to work with Jeremy. He'll probably start bitching because he can't play. Mom is taking Jeremy next Friday to Monday because he's off for Martin Luther King's. Hopefully everything works out so I can go on that Monday and play for a full day without the kid.

Jeremy officially quit wrestling. It was a bit of a sore point between Holly and I to let him quit or not but he wasn't having any fun and I just couldn't see him continuing with it. I hate for him to be a quitter but what can you do.

Went to Dale's today. Was there for around four hours. Basically watched the whole Penn State Bowl Game. They had a chance to win the game with 70 seconds while on the 20 yard line but the quarterback threw an interception, the fourth of the game. He made pulled pork sandwiches for us. Not bad. I started to get bored after a few hours there. Asleigh was there and Jeremy was occupied with her for most of the time. We stopped at the service station on the way home so Holly could get a Frapucino and Jeremy wanted ice cream and only ate like 5 bites and I got aggravated and threw the ice cream at the garbage and some old cunt was giving me a dirty look. His eating lately has been horrible. I've been trying to be calmer with the kid but I exploded. He's been extra nasty to us lately and we're pretty much getting tired of it. He is usually good for me during the day so I don't know if he's looking for attention when Holly get home or what. We'll see what happens in the next few days. Been starting to eat junk food and shit, I gotta get back on track again. Been lazy with the treadmill and I NEED to start doing it again. Was hoping I would be in good shape for the hockey season and I'm back where I was weeks ago. The weight is almost steady at 195 but the stomach is still here and I could stand to lose those extra ten pounds. 185 is the target weight.

Been on an Entourage kick since someone has been streaming them live and have been watching them for hours each night. It's not a great show but not too bad.

I've been hooked on this Eve Online bullshit for the last few days and I gotta cut back on it.
