a blast of winter to remember a blast of winter is here. started sunday with a major snow storm. on top of that it got cold throughout the day. plus it was windy leaving drifts all over the place. it was pretty unreal. i dont know how much snow we got but it was quite a bit. the streets are plowed and people are shoveling drifts. nothing left bu the shivering
conference championship sunday the new york giants just beat the green bay packers with a field goal in overtime to win the nfc championship game with the score of 23-20. earlier the new england patriots beat the san diego chargers 21-12 to win the afc championship. so in two weeks it will be the giants and the patriots in super bowl XLII. can the patriots win and finish the season undefeated? can the giants pull off an upset? stay tuned in two weeks.

oilers autograph session the yearly autograph session in the mall was this afternoon and as usual the line-ups were long. its the most popular event. good way for the fans and players to interact. i was sooooo close to getting fernando pisani and robert nillson. but one of the event staff people said i couldn't because i wasnt in line (i was on my break at the time). lots of oilers jerseys and player cards signed and alot of happy fans.
