I have been relatively quiet this weekend but, hey, it's John A MacDonald day tomorrow which makes a February long weekend - even if a guilty one as only municipal employees get it - so I have time to redeem myself. And besides, I was on the road four hours to a pals and back to be a godfather...and I had to have a nap and I went to bed early yesterday needing to get up at 6 am...hey, what do you want from me? Besides, I was on call at the duty editorial desk over at the beer blog what with reports of real ale coming in from Lennoxville, Quebec and Singapore as well as first hand accounts of Maoist insurgents in Nepal cutting off the draft keg supply.

So it's been busy, if just not hereabouts. How about that hockey pool anyway? Portland is just dying to make cracks about baseball...yet would go for the bonus points of the U. o' Maine Black Bears could win him some.
