Puck-it!

15. April 2009 by admin.

I am busy working late in the office trying to close out this issue’s ad.  The good news is I am still here which means there are lots of ads and invoicing.  The bad news is Ed and the boys are waiting for me at home.  I can hear…honey can you pick up Subway?

I would rather be here than sitting in that Penguin traffic for tonight’s opener of the playoffs.  Go Pens!  How about the fans in this city supporting the boys?  Over 200 sellouts in a row, a giant jumbo-tron outside the arena tonight for thousands of fans who could not get tickets. 

Only in Pittsburgh can you go to a sold-out sporting event without a ticket and see the whole game.  Maybe that is why the Pens have one of the best attendance figures in the NHL and top selling merchandise in the county.  This is even more amazing when you consider this is Steeler Nation.  Pittsburgh Pirates, you listening?

OK.  I may be at work doing ads and invoicing, but my mind is thinking about spending the evening with Ed and boys.  Now, if only I can convince him that nothing else is on TV tonight other than the Penguin game in HD.  Any ideas?

Oh–Puck-It!  I am going to close up the office and head home.  Those excited fans that clogged the roads into town are by now sipping (um, I mean chugging) Iron City Beer and eating nachos while watching the pre-game on the jumbo-tron outside the Mellon Arena. 

I choose Ed…even if that means reruns of The Tutors.

Did I mention we have a large flat screen HD TV in our bedroom?

Keep Reading…
