Exciting Weekend In The Woodchuck Hole (Sorry for the delay!)

It's going to be one heck of a weekend for this here marmot. Tonight, it's the Monsters (AAA hockey) vs. Toronto ($1 hot dogs, $1 soda, and a free hat, if the on-ice effort picks up from the last few outings, this'll be heaven), tomorrow marks both the high holy day of Buckeye State futbol known as Crewsmas as the Columbus Crew open up at Hunt Park against Toronto and the return of a unified IndyCar series with the Miami 300 (8 PM ESPN2). As a fan of fenderless motorsport, this is a moment of unbridled joy. Heck, I hugged the computer I read the news on upon reading of confirmation of the merger with Champ Car! After a Sunday consisting largely of church (Jesus Christ is Risen. He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia.*), typing papers, and watching televised basketball (as well as getting used to NASCAR sans a Jarrett on the track), Monday will be the greatest day of the entire year (weather permitting), Opening Day for the Cleveland Indians! They play Tor.... oops, Chicago (fell into a habit there). Have a good weekend and I'll be back on Tuesday with a recap of all the exciting events of the weekend as well as a few fresh rants.

* If you're Lutheran, you understand both the significance of this phrase and why periods are used instead of exclamation points. If not, it's (like much of Lutheranism) too lengthy to explain in this space.
