Sorry about the long pause

No excuses, folks... no epic trips or exotic reasons. I just needed a break. Too many irons, not enough fire. The hockey-oriented among you will be pleased to hear that your Mother Puckers are back over .500 following a 6-1 win last night. I think we're fourth now, behind the Lunatics (5-1), Renegades (4-1-1), and Purple Tequila (4-3); but I can't be sure because, if you add it all up, somebody has an extra tie. (As of 6:00 pm Tuesday, the standings were not updated. I hope you have better luck when you click.)
