I don't want to jinx anything, but two weeks ago tomorrow we abandoned the crib/toddler bed altogether. We decided that we were going to keep the same bedtime routine, but instead of putting him into his own bed, he was going to sleep on the guest room futon. So far, he's been to bed every night somewhere between 9:30 and 11:00 and slept til after 5:30 every morning. He's really only been up one night and that was due to sickness. So, here's hoping that the entire problem was the fact that he just hated his crib. I guess Phil Bourque must have jinxed the crib when we picked it out.
In a little over 8 minutes of game play, barring a miracle comeback by the Caps, the Pens will win two in a row. And then we'll be off for the rest of February while the world participates in the Olympic games. The Olympics are a strange beast. One of the guys that I work with is in his late 30s/early 40s and one of those guys who never really grew up. He's a slacker coder who snowboards and drinks too much. He's single and seems to prefer it. What's funny is that in a discussion of Olympic events, he's the one who says he loves to watch figure skating because it's a chance for perfection in each program. A chance to land every jump perfectly, spin like a top, and glide into the hearts of the world. Bizarre coming from him.
6 1/2 to go. That means just to tie the Caps will need a goal every 1:37ish.
I watched some of the Olympic Women's hockey coverage today. I missed the early games, but apparently Finland beat Germany 3-0. I watched the United States beat Switzerland 6-0. I watched most of the Canada/Italy game. Ouch. 16-0 Canada. And Sweden beat Russia 3-1.
And the Pens beat the Caps 6-3. It's a shame Fleury had to give up that last one with 30 seconds to go, but I'll deal. It's a win. And it's two wins in a row. And now we go on hiatus for half a month. Grrr. At least there will be lots of Olympic hockey left. Russia vs. Canada and Germany vs. United States are on tomorrow. Men's hockey starts on Wednesday so by mid-next week there will be twice as many games.
