Black Ice- An interesting look at histroy


Black Ice: The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1895-1925[Paperback]

George Fosty (Author), Darril Fosty (Author)


This is a very interesting history about Hockey, Faith, and freed slaves.

If you like history you should check this out.



hmmm... what was I thinking

Have you ever looked at your Google Circles and found that you have put someone as a friend that probably wouldn't call you that?

Well Morgan Freeman is in my friend's circle. Now as much as I would like him to be a personal friend, I don't think he feels the same way.

Oh well.

Morgan keep doing your great job.

Oh and call me once and while to shoot the breeze, after all that is what friends are for.

Wishful thinking.

Go Forth and Do Well

Kremlin Cheers Obama’s Re-Election

In my Army days that statement would have been scary.

ABC news, nevertheless, is using as a headline for one of its stories

Read the story and tell me what you think.

Obma and the Queen's Riddle

 The Queen's Riddle


        Barack Obama met with the Queen of England.

        He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government?  What tips can you give to me?"

        "Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

        Obama frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around are really intelligent?"

        The Queen took a sip of tea.  "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle."

        The Queen pushed a button on her intercom.  "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"

        Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?"

        The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, Tony, your mother and father have a child.  It is not your brother and it is not your sister.

        Who is it?"

        Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would be me."

        "Yes!  Very good," said the Queen.

        Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice presidential choice the same question.  "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child.

        It's not your brother and it's not your sister.  Who is it?"

        "I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one."  He went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer

        Finally, Biden ran into Sarah Palin out eating one night.  Biden asked, "Sarah, can you answer this for me?  Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister.  Who is it?"

        Sarah Palin answered right back, "That's easy, it's me!"

        Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!"  Then, he went back to speak with Obama. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle.  It's Sarah Palin!"

        Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face, "No!  You idiot!  It's Tony Blair!"

        AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE WHITE HOUSE ?

Happy Birthday Dad

Yesterday my Dad would have been 76.

God took him 2 years ago on the 4th of November.
 
He wasn't perfect.

He made mistakes.

But in the end, he redeemed himself.

Happy Birthday Dad.


Love Shane
