sharks and bytes

the off-season changes are starting to happen, not the least of which are the losses of superstar defenseman scotty hannan and netminder vesa toskala. hannan, a shark since his drafting in 1997 (a great year-- also the year that joe thornton and patrick marleau were drafted picks 1 and 2), is hitting his stride and is branching out for other opportunities in his free agency. he'll get the chance to work with former shark tony granato (and current assistant coach at colorado), but he will definitely be missed in the san jose zone. h is devastated, of course-- he has long been her favorite player, and it's pretty brutal for him to go to a division rival. ah, for the love of sports...

big daddy d picked up another publishing credit today, with the release of chinese elvis. check it out-- it's a clever read, though it will take a little polishing before it goes into his anthology.

more home renovations this weekend-- mudding, taping, floor-laminating, and painting, with a little furniture configuration and rewiring thrown in for good measure. if homeownership was bestowed by practice, practice, practice, i'd be at the front of the line!

You and Heather will both have to find new favourite players, since it looks like Marleau is on the move, as well.
