Not quite Writer's Block...

More like writer's SHOCK. While I have a pad here with a list of items that need to be written, I'm noticing my free time is not cooperating with my needs.

I did manage to finish the Booster Club newsletter article covering Garth Snow's stand up routine. So if you missed the club meeting, you should have the recap in a few weeks.

Some interesting things regarding the Lighthouse project were presented by Paul Lancey, so I'll let you know about those as well.

Just a few things that aren't making it into the newsletter about Snow: He is genuinely funny, and so much more at ease in one on one situations. He threw me completely off guard when he sat down one seat away from me in the first row and said "Hey Dee. Just keep your hands to yourself." Of course this was just a joke (I think), but as I almost sent my Starbucks flying off the 2nd grader style desk, I could only think of responding, "Oh crap! What have you heard???" I would have followed it up with "Lies, lies. All lies." But he was already laughing.

On the way out of the meeting I had to ask him why he can't convey the same open, honest manner on camera as he does in person. His answer was equally honest.

"I hate cameras. Hate them. Too many years of being a player and being grilled by the media. But I'm working on it."

Also on my plate... home plate... as the LI Riptide managed another first place showing this weekend and now everyone wants to make it into the blog.

"Was that quote Blog worthy Dee?" I heard for two days. Good grief... I've created a monster.

Don't forget the upcoming Lighthouse Town Of Hempstead meetings coming up. We've got to find a way of pushing this mammoth undertaking through or we'll all be taking the ferry to Bridgeport in a few years because there won't be any hockey on LI.

And that's NOT A QUOTE FROM ANYONE.... Just woman's intuition!
