The Capitals vs. Penguins game on February 7th at Verizon Center will now start at 12:00 noon. We will be a national TV game and a great counter programming stunt on Super Bowl Sunday. Heads up on the time change!

Odd Scheduling
The season is more than half over and tonight is the first time we play the Penguins. While we all look forward to the game, it has been hard to get hyped up for it this week. We played the Flyers on Sunday before a full house then we went on to play Detroit before a really loud and proud crowd. We were fortunate to get two wins so far this week.
Tonight we play the defending Stanley Cup champs on the road. On Tuesday we played the former defending Stanley Cup champs at home. And on Saturday we play the much improved Coyotes at home. Four games all in a week with some travel thrown in. Tough scheduling. All are games against very good or great teams. I wish this game had some breathing room and was spotlighted on a weekend instead of landing in such a tight space of the 3rd game out of 4 games in the same week.
Every game is competitive. Every game is a mini drama. Every game is worth two points in the standings.
We all want to win tonight but we need to put these regular season games in perspective. If we win, we won’t celebrate too much. If we lose, we won’t be down too much. We play yet again on Saturday night.
“A Terrific Win Against a Terrific Team”
Hoya Saxa.
The Hoyas won last night on the road in Pittsburgh against a higher ranked team.
Pittsburgh has one of the best teams in the nation and in the Big East. They may play in the best home court environment in the nation as well. That place rocks.
Georgetown is also tough and its schedule is brutal as well. We are a very good team. We play tough. We have depth and we are still young with upside. We will matter as the season plays out.
We are proud. We are Georgetown!
We play Duke on January 30th at home.

Me and Big Ken Holden at the White House
My eBuddy, Big Ken Holden from Tampa, and I went to the White House yesterday to celebrate National Mentoring Month. We represented Best Buddies at the event.
We waited outside in the cold for 30 minutes with about 100 other mentors and mentees. We were ID checked outside. We then went to another checkpoint where we were IDed again. We then went to a third checkpoint where we were screened with metal detectors, etc. and ID checked again. Thanks “gate crashers” for making the security checks much tougher and longer than usual.
Then we walked into the White House where everyone was very open and friendly. Piano music was being played and members of the military were there to host and escort us.
Ken and I walked around. I took many photos of him in front of Presidential portraits and in several rooms. We then went to the event itself. Mrs. Obama and the POTUS both delivered wonderful speeches. Some photos were taken and then we were told we could mingle and meet other mentors and then we left.
We were in and out in 75 minutes. It was run very efficiently and very smoothly. It was a wonderful event and I am proud to have been invited. It was also wonderful to spend quality time with Ken who then took his Mom to the Wizards game and sat in my seats on the floor. All in all, it was a nice visit at the White House and a great day for Best Buddies.
