Thursday, March 18th, 2010I Feel So Sad
Thursday, March 18th, 2010I have a friend His name is Victor Thay. He is a fund manager at Fidelity in Boston.
He grew up in Canada and he loved hockey. We always talked about the Capitals and Bruins and Alex Ovechkin.
He was interested in investing in Revolution Money. We had several long meetings together. We had several dinners. Then we became friends. He passed on the investment but was very helpful to me none the less. He was just a great guy.
I lost track of him over the last 6 months or so. When I looked at the standings today and saw if the season ended we would play Boston in the playoffs, I dashed him off a note via email. I wanted to trash talk with him and also to invite him to a game with me.
I sent the email; the email bounced right back to me.
I though “hmmm…maybe he left Fidelity?”. So, I Googled his name and this is what came up. My friend Victor Thay passed away. He died at the age of 35 years old. I am stunned. I feel so sad. I didn’t know of his passing and I don’t even know how he died.
Life is short. Play hard. RIP my friend.

Our Fans are Too Cool
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010I received two really wise and great emails yesterday from some of our fans.
One basically said–” Living well is the best revenge”.
The second stated–” Don’t feed the trolls”.
Pitch perfect. Thank you.
So while there is a lot of noise out there, let us focus on some signal.
We won last night 7 to 3. We are now 8 and 2 (I count the game in Chicago) without our Captain in the lineup. May we put to rest that we are a one man band now?
We have 103 points and we lead the NHL in points by 7 points. We lead the conference by 16 points. We lead the division by 34 points. Thank you.
We have scored 277 goals; we have a goal differential of plus 79 both far and away the best in the NHL.
We closed out our renewals from season ticket holders on Friday of last week. We are almost at a 97 percent renewal, which means that every single game next season will be a complete and total sell out. We sell out every single game as it is.
We were just nominated as “Best professional sports franchise” by Sports Business Journal.
Things are going pretty well here in DC. We are focused on the signal and we are trying to do well by doing good. Never lose sight of the big picture. We have miles to go before we sleep.
And one more thing… Try to be happy. I know some of you can do it.
Mystics Add Katie Smith
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010A great free agent signing for us. A vet leader, a great scorer, and a proven winner. Perhaps the biggest and best free agent signing in our history.
I am pleased with the progress we are making at the Washington Mystics. We qualified for the playoffs last season. We hope to improve this season and of course go deeper into the playoffs. We want to build a model WNBA franchise that can compete and win a championship. That is our collective goal. Thanks to so many Mystics fans for turning out to the press event yesterday it means a lot to us and it was good to see you all.
It is An Honor to Just Be Nominated
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Thank you…We blush.
We are honored.
Read this release as we have become a finalist in Sports Business Journal’s annual “Professional Sports Team Of The Year” award ceremony and competition.
Wow!!! We have come a long way with our franchise and it is all because we have such great and committed fans. Thanks to all… Go Caps.
Know What Bothers Me?
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010I blog to as many people as I can and I am transparent and accessible. I publish my email address. I get lots of input and lots of comments on my blog and Facebook page. Thank you. I encourage it.
Sometimes when someone leaves a comment that is tough minded or is a rant or is mean spirited I will try to reach out to that person by email to chat. To follow up on a concern or try to understand where that person is coming from. It is being courteous and curious and I might learn something via our interaction.
And almost always that person who left that comment has provided us with a bogus email account. And that person is anonymous and it is a fake account.
I think that shows no courage and equally less tact and is not being a good net-i-zen.
Why are you afraid of leaving a name or real email address but you are not afraid to come and comment to your heart’s content on my blog? Enlighten me? I don’t get it. Isn’t it a two way street?
