LOL, that's so cute. Do you have a nickname or a shortened version or do you have to come out with that mouthful every time you call him?

We usually call him Chely or Chel. Naming the cat that was a compromise, my oldest orginally wanted to name the baby that (the baby and the cat arrived within a month of each other). We decided to name the Baby Nicholas instead (although I did have to fight on how to spell it since the Wings fans in my house wanted to spell it Nicklas or something).

My husband called to tell me that he covered the office of the Penguins fan he works with with Red Wings para. I guess I'll let him savor this one since he is also a Dolphins fan and will be miserable during the NFL season

Chely totally works for a cat. I like it. If I were a Wings fan, I'd be all for naming the kid Nicklas instead of Nicholas, since the shortened version is the same, and they sound so similar in their full forms. Oh well, he'll know who he is named after.

Excusable only for that reason.

Oh also, on Wednesday, my power went out around 3pm. I freaked out and was like, "Ok, you guys at Allegheny Power have 5 hours!" We didn't get power until 2pm the next day (and then it went out again from 530pm-830 pm). Since none of my friends are hockey fans, my family ended up going to my mom's office (which has power but no cable) and we watched the game with rabbit ears (I could barely see the players, never mind the puck). I stayed for the first period and convinced my friend to go to a sports bar with me (so I could watch the Pens and he could watch the Red Sox).

We thought about driving up to Detroit this morning for the parade, but 3 hours in the car with my kids is never fun, so instead I am picking up some souveniers from the website for the kids.

When does the 2009 season start?

I'm so proud of my Red Wings. Now, if the Cubs would get with it, it would make 2008 sweeter for me.
