So last night the Devils won their 3rd Stanley Cup in 9 years, which means that they are pretty much atop the league along with Detroit and, to a lesser extent, Colorado for dominance of the NHL. Kudos. Yes, I am bitter, especially now that the Red Wings are going to be dipping into a rebuilding cycle of sorts. I also worked on getting my life reassembled in Florida after the weekend - a touch of laundry, sorting out the pictures from the trip, resting up for a full week (my first in awhile), and going grocery shopping. When all of that was done I kept racing through a most fascinating book, The Tyranny of Distance, about how geography shaped the culture and history of Australia as a western civilization. Very interesting and I'm learning a ton about many different subjects.
