From NBC Fail to Writer Fail!

Ugh, if I told you how many different articles I have in my little notebook here that are each only halfway completed you would probably laugh at me.

Still working on three more questions with our GM and one write up on the Flat Bottom V skate sharpening technology. Trouble is -- my own life gets in the way. Add to it the whole Casino and Mangano wants Long Island to be a 51st state thing, and the cherry on the cake would be the Stanley Cup playoffs. Something always has my attention. I really need to learn how to lock myself in a room with no TV, blank walls and just the laptop. Someplace that isn't covered in dog hair from my 105 lb shedding hairball of a Dalmatian would be nice.

Tonight I will be attending what seems to be not only the last even of the season for the Islanders Business Club, but very possibly the last event -- ever. That is one of the reasons I want to go.

There are rumors swirling that the Islanders will not be continuing the program that is run by Mike Bossy and was developed by Chris Dey. It seems it may not have turned into the business social network it was hoped to be. It's a shame. I personally thought it was a good idea.

Oh well, nothing lasts forever. And things in Islanders Country seem to last about three years maximum.
