About the author
Laurie won her first writing award at her Maryland Catholic elementary school - an envelope of two-dollar bills from football-crazy nuns - in the second grade for a poem about the Washington Redskins. She still does not understand downs, so this just proves that she will write just about anything for the promise of money and minor glory. Try her. Her other interests include the WNBA, Dayton basketball (Go Flyers!,) tailgating, Capitals first-period goals, three-pointers and beer. She dislikes any former Patrick Division team, (especially the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers) overtime any time and serial retirers. She will someday have Capitals season tickets, attend an NFL game, and understand downs. Other writing happens at LaurieWrites and BlogHer. She still lives in - and loves - Maryland.

    You know I’m not from Pittsburgh (though I know the team I grew up with isn’t one of your favs either) but the Penguins mean a lot to this city. Penguins glow has to get us through the summer (and the Pirates) until Steelers’ training camp starts.

    I agree with you that hockey was the winner. My son loved watching the game and is dying to lace up skates and take to the ice himself. That’s exactly what is supposed to happen.

    Shit. We have Miller tomorrow.

    Oh, I’m not faulting Pittsburgh – you all are your own sports nation. But I’m not faulting the millions who were all, “Ugh, anyone but him,” when he saved the day for the country where Pittsburgh is not at all located. ;) And I know that was a tough one too.

    Thankfully we have these totally first world problems to give our lives some extra tension! Woohoo!

    Miller’s off tomorrow, I think, for sure. They’ll probably bring him back against Ovi – good television.

    He went through a four-month battle to get onto the site before, sending Facebook it his passport, driver’s license, bar number and other forms of identification to prove he is who he says he is. He had to send Facebook a threatening letter before it let him on. And things were fine for two years, until he was suddenly barred again on Monday.
