A nice tip o' the hat to Coach Gary Waters and Cleveland State basketball. BTW, we got invites to a season-ticket holder meet and greet after last Saturday's game, which I could not attend. These were handed out at the previous game and each one was signed by a player. But I was impressed that my guy didn't just sign it, he also wrote, "Thank you for your support". It's touches like that and seeing how hard the guys work these days that makes you root for them to have lots of success.

Someday, people will come out for some games. Hopefully, a home playoff game this year will be a start. They have a good thing going these days down at the Bart.

"Family Guy" returned last night. First, they ripped "Two and a Half Men". Later, Peter was the one Christian Bale was yelling at.

Someone stole 150 bowling balls over the weekend. I'm sure the police are scanning every alley and gutter around town in hopes of splitting the case wide open, sparing no leads, ready to strike when the culprits are unaware.

The Atlanta Thrashers are struggling. This is the type of story that gets local hockey fans all hot and bothered. But, seriously, this team would do just as bad in Cleveland.

The Monsters are only averaging 5400 a game at minor league prices. Can't see it getting much higher at NHL prices.
