I'm in, kiddo.

Remember also it took Patrice Bergeron a year or so to come back from one. The fact that he's feeling headache free for any point in time is encouraging, and as he said, he doesn't have the dizziness or the problems driving a car or anything like that, so that is also a positive. Patience, dear...he will come back.

My collection is long so bear with me. Practice jersey from '05 camp with Tomas Holmstrom, Jamie Rivers, Jason Williams, Dave Lewis, Jiri Hudler, Manny Legace and some of the kids. A puck signed by Pasha that Chelis Chick got me in Nashville ( thanks, Kristi!). I also have an 8x10 photo of him signing that puck. He autographed that for me and now it hangs right beside my bed. Two Moscow Dynamo jerseys signed by Pasha. Three Datsyuk jerseys, all signed by him. I have one that isn't signed yet, but that's next camp (or sooner if I get real lucky). A card of Pasha's that he signed ( I owe that one to 13 dats...thanks, sweetie!). A copy of "48 Hours with the Detroit Red Wings" signed by Jason Williams, Dan Cleary, Nick Lidstrom, Pasha, Derek Meech, Kirk Maltby, Aaron Downey, Brett Lebda, Chris Chelios, Jiri Hudler, Kris Draper, Evan McGrath, Darryl Bootland, Valtteri Filppula, Nik Kronwall, Johan Franzen, Tomas Holmstrom, Andreas Lilja, Darren Helm, Tom McCollum, Mattias Ritola and Mike Babcock. A copy of "What it Means to be a Detroit Red Wing" signed by Pasha. A Red Wings bandana signed by Henrik (while my dog Loki was wearing it, I might add. Henrik loved Loki) This year at camp, I got a hat signed by Andreas Lilja, Nick Lidstrom, Justin Abdelkader, Dan Cleary, Pasha, Derek Meech, Brian Rafalski, Tom McCollum, Evan McGrath, Frances Pare, Valtteri, Nik Kronwall, Johan Franzen, Tomas Holmstrom, Mike Babcock, Paul MacLean and Brad McCrimmon. Not a half bad collection.

I don't like either one, but my housemate does the vacuuming now, so that's cool. Want me to send her out to you? Cashews or pecans?

I know. But after missing his shot blocking skills in the playoffs last year, a lot of people began to realize that he wasn't as much of a liability as they thought he was. It's like the old song says, "you don't know what you got til it's gone".

As far as I'm concerned, he'd have to pay the Wings for the chance to play before I'd sign him.

This is great news. Just remember, Patrice Bergeron was gone about a year. Have patience.

I knew that double rainbow I saw today was good luck! Way to go, boys!

You don't know me. If you did you wouldn't doubt my words.

My allegiance goes back decades. It's not for sale at any price.

I couldn't wear them...I hate anything coming in contact with my eyes; even eye drops bug the hell out of me. Glasses for me, thank you. TPBM has their pet by their side.

I will be at the game on the 12th, but if you think I'm giving up my plaque you're sadly mistaken.

It was a solo. Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young

Long Train Running - Doobie Brothers

I talked to Andreas at camp and I asked him what the prognosis was. He answered, "we'll see". Remember it took Patrice Bergeron in Boston about a year to get back from his concussion, so I'm holding out hope that he might have that same time frame. I'm patient and I'll wait, but I also miss him big time.

Are you kidding? Dumb I may be, stupid I'm not. TPBM is happy to see the sun.

Head, at least I can think with that part of my anatomy. HBO or Cinemax?

Mama's in the Moon - Marc Cohn

Bruised ribs? That can get pretty painful.

Am I allowed to admit it's kind of depressing?

depends on what I'm eating with them. I like them both, unless it's those disgusting jalapeno ones, then it's fries by a long shot. Early Dylan or later Dylan?

Don't Talk to Her at Night - Marc Cohn

I have one not far away from me...one that belonged to my mom, rest her soul. TPBM is glad it's Friday.

I don't have a garage door opener, unless you count my hubby, who is a problem always (just kidding, Terry, you know I love ya). TPBM is hoping last night's game was the beginning of the rest of the season...successful(but I still miss Pasha).
