That was a beautiful thing to watch. As was the overtime win in that series where "Curtis Brown [went] top shelf where Mama keeps the cookies!" I was at that one. Good times leaving the arena, good times.

It'd be empty, for one thing.

Eh, the view's okay, but you're still in Massachusetts.

Men At Work, "Down Under." I got a '69 Chevy with a 396 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor

I would amend that. It's a nice drive once you get past the state line.

Is Stevens signed anywhere?

I think Numminen will be in the top four. He's got a lot more left in the tank than Patrick.

Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in! Must...resist...

What AD said. Numminen is on the downside, but he can actually, you know, put a shot on net every once in a while. In that respect he's better than Zhitnik. Plus his experience is what our young blueliners need.

Maybe they'll wear tight little shorts and little red hats.

Pats fan finds two-headed snake, names it for Belichick and Brady Yes, these are the momentous issues that occupy the brain of a typical Pats fan.

So you read Fark too, eh?

No kidding. That's one reason I won't go back to Dulles. Took the Washington Flyer from there to Fairfax or Vienna (one of those) and then the blue line all over hell and gone until I got to downtown. I suppose someone probably will tell me now that I should have done something different out of Dulles. Which is cool; I can file that away for future reference.

That's why they call him Screamin' A. Smith.

And incidentally, I've noticed that you can usually tell a person's party affiliation by whether he refers to it as "Reagan" or "National."

Coming at about 11 a.m., leaving at about 3. I lived in DC for a summer once (had a car too; lived in the G'town dorms) so I'm pretty familiar with the area and the Metro and whatnot, but BWI is new to me. As for bags, I'm only bringing an overnight case and a shoulder bag. I doubt I'll get many looks. Well, no more than I usually get. SuperShuttle's another good thought. So many choices.

:lol:

Thanks guys. All good suggestions. I'm actually considering the one about park & ride at Landover. That might allow me to get a hotel somewhere in MD (it's an overnight trip) without worrying about whether it's right next to a Metro stop.

I go to DC a couple of times a year for a board meeting and, though I get reimbursed, I try to keep the costs as low as possible. This time I wasn't able to get a decent fare into and out of National, so I'm going through BWI. (I tried Dulles once and that sucked.) What's the best, fastest, and most convenient way to get to downtown DC (near the White House) from BWI? I'm guessing the MARC train to Union Station and then the Metro. How's that trip? Any help from locals much appreciated. Thanks!

Incidentally, here's a nice summary of how Clarke basically gave the Avs two Stanley Cups and ensured more than a decade of frustration in Philly.

I bet Clarke wishes he had Forsberg during the whole last decade instead of now. He could have, had he not traded Forsberg to Quebec for that asshat Lindros.

And anyway... Peca can't seem to play a full season anymore, Zhitnik loses his mind at the most inopportune times, and Satan is basically good for a hat trick in an 8-2 win over Nashville and no points in a 2-1 loss to Ottawa. I'm not shedding tears.

Missed an opportunity there, he did. Imagine the marketing opportunities if he went to the Devils.

I'm sorry... obligatory Carlin quote coming up. I'm a bit of a nervous flier, actually, but I've always combated that by reciting his routine on flying to myself. Hard to be nervous when you're laughing.
