• Eat more salt!

    If you should avoid salt when you suffer from high blood pressure, should you eat more salt if you have low blood pressure? Break out those saltines Cheryl! I may not be a doctor, but I’ve watched make believe doctors on TV.

    Seriously, please don’t take my word for it. If you think you suffer from low blood pressure, ask your physician if a high salt diet would be right for you!

  • The little team that would

    Sports has taught me to be a pessimist. You are going to lose. The odds weigh heavily against you. If you are good enough to make the playoffs you still have to overcome one in thirty-two odds to remain the last one standing. This is why, even with a three games to none lead in their series with Montreal, I was a little worried. How poised would the Lightning be with such a large cushion? If any team could earn the honor of being the first team to let an opponent overcome a three games to none hole in thirty odd years, couldn’t it be a young and relatively inexperienced team like the Lightning?

    Damn John! The Lightning aren’t the number one seed for ‘nuthin! What are you thinking?!?

    Tonight, the best team in Lightning history earned another first… a playoff sweep, and I’m thrilled to be wrong. Now I just need to untangle my intestines and I’ll be all set for bed.

  • There is no place like home

    I’ve been called home. The home office wants to see me. ME? Why me? What have I done? It turns out that I’ve been tapped as a “subject matter expert from the field.” Whoa, does that sound important! I’m fighting tooth and nail to keep it from going to my head. Most important to me is the fact that this is my first work related, overnight road trip. To the experienced work related road warrior a one night stay in a cheap motel on the employer’s tab may seem pretty tame. But to the uninitiated it’s like getting an all expense paid trip to visit with the gods on Mt. Olympus. I’ve been teased with invites from the home office before, only to have the meeting cancelled, so I’m trying to temper my enthusiasm for the moment.

    I wonder if there is an organized tour of the facilities for us visiting field folk?
