August 28th, 2010 · No Comments

May 12th, 2010 · No Comments

Wonder of wonders, with three Zambonis, they couldn’t get one of them to work! It took over an hour to get them working and finally get the course ready for competition.

February 14th, 2010 · No Comments

Funny, how screw-ups are remembered and great shows aren’t? In my memory, the only opening ceremonies that I vaguely remember are just one, those stupid, cheesy stainless steel pickup trucks at the Atlanta Olympics.
