4th of July weekend


This 4th of July weekend on the Chop Shop and Chop Shop Classic, we will have several members of the USS Seawolf, nuclear submarine on as my co-hosts/guests.

My nephew ET3/ss Tony Easton is among the crew and is working out the details with me now.

The USS Seawolf (SSN-21), is the lead ship of her class. The Seawolf has the highest tactical speed of any US submarine. Much of the design effort was focused on noise reduction, the Seawolf's propulsion system makes it ten times more quiet over its full range of operating speeds than the Improved-688 class and 70 times more quiet than the initial generation of Los Angeles 688-class submarines.

If you haven’t had a chance to read it yet pick up the new book The Bruise Brothers, It’s the story of 2 of Hockeytown’s all-time favorite players.

It’s a great reminder of why I became a hockey fan. A fun look back to a time when players didn’t share the same agents, and work out together in the off-season. A time when the Wings Hated the Leafs, the Bruins hated the Habs and the Flames hated the oilers!

good news



On a personal note, I’ve just gotten engaged. I met Gina in June of 2006. Gina is a high school teacher, and she invited me in to speak to her class. We kept in touch and became friends.

We’ve been dating seriously for about a year, and decided that life without each other just wouldn’t feel complete.

We are working on the idea of getting married next summer, 2009.
