See the Real Thing

Hurt Locker was a powerful film. It was worthy of winning the Academy Award.

Here is a film about the real thing called “Occupation Dreamland”. It’s wonderful and powerful documentary. It is authentic, sad and moving. The real thing is equally as note worthy. Click here to watch this film!

A Good Offense is a Good Defense

Thanks Dan. It is always interesting to let facts get in the way of other’s opinions.

The goal of the game is to score more goals than the other guy.

I agree with this thesis about having a world class offense. A world class power play is a very good thing.

If we get average to good defense and goal tending we will be situated well. Read this one. Thank you…Go Caps.

Fire Your Unhappy Employees

I loved reading this article. I never looked at it this way.

I am a healer. I try to make everyone happy.

As I have grown up a bit I have come to realize that there are basically some folks that can’t be happy, they revel in their unhappiness.

This article posits that you need to just cut that cord, fire unhappy people and move on. That is an ingredient to make for happy institutions. I think I agree. I will send this writer a copy of my book “The Business of Happiness”. I bet it will be helpful for future articles.

Justin and His Quest

We hosted a very brave young man and his dad in our box the other night at the Capitals vs. Stars game.

His name is Justin and here is his story.

There isn’t much more to say but we should all embrace this young man and help him on his quest.

Thanks to Raul Fernandez for helping to coordinate this meet and greet and for shining a light on this tough to deal with subject.

Snagapalooza

Snagfilms has a bunch of great documentaries about bands, musicians and the music industry up and running. Here is a list of them and many of these films have become incredibly popular with our viewers. I particularly enjoyed watching “Electric Purgatory” a wonderful premiere online. Check these out and enjoy one today. Snag a film widget, embed it into your site or home page and share the music with your friends. Self expression is good.

Our Military Kids

I spent some time with the folks from Our Military Kids at a Caps game last week. They do great work for our men and women in the armed services. This is a charity that I support financially and want to embrace. They are worthy of your consideration as well.

This is a great nonprofit organization. Click here to get information and tour their web site. And please vote for them on the Pepsi Refresh Project. See details within. Thank you.

Nothing Profound to Say

We had a lead, we lost it. We tied the game up and we get a standing point.

We lost in the shootout and that is that.

Alex Ovechkin shook off the cobwebs and scored two goals.

We have 97 points. We are quite efficient in gaining standing points. We won 14 games in a row then we lost 3 games in a row. But in two of the three losses we gained a point. Then we won 3 games in a row and last night we lost in a shootout but we gained a point. By my count that means we have points in 20 of 21 games. That seems pretty productive to me.

Onward to our next game on Wednesday night. We maintain a healthy lead in the division and the conference. But we are greedy and want to play better and we will…Go Caps.
