Some Programming Notes

For those of you who are keeping track of such things, we are less than a week away from actual professional hockey players skating around on the ice surface of the Kettler Capitals Iceplex. The ending of the summer doldrums is also going to provide me with an opportunity to finally get back on track with this here blog.

I've planned my vacation time at work to coincide, more or less, with the opening of rookie camp (as well as the opening of my latest play) and last through the first weekend of training camp. Which means you can expect the KHFC to be transformed from a sparingly updated blog lacking in any real substance, to a frequently updated blog lacking in any real substance. But at least I can promise you daily updates (And pictures, too! Probably!) from KCI. In fact, there are even plans in the works for a journey up to New Jersey to see the kids take on Philadelphia's own obviously inferior group of rookies.

So stay tuned, because everything is about to get a whole lot more interesting around these parts.

Checking In

Hello, everybody. Nice to see you again. Did you miss me? No? Okay then.

With a weekend that saw the Ottawa Senators succeeding where the Capitals once failed (eliminating the Sabres in Game 5 of an Eastern Conference finals) and the Red Wings falling to within one game of being sent to the golf course, I thought I'd quickly check in to let you know that I am, in fact, not dead. Also, I just wanted to reinforce the fact that I am genuinely gleeful that the Sabres are out of the playoffs. Gleeful, I say!

Also, I'm way behind on this one, but I'd like to issue a belated welcome to Capital Addiction.

Hockey talk aside, I'd like to return to my regularly scheduled shameless self-promotion. Because, no matter how much hockey blogging I do, I'm still an actor. So feel free to check out these reviews of a play that I may or may not be featured in. And be sure to note the use of the word "scintillating" in the WaPo's headline.

Time For Some Shameless Non-Hockey Related Self-Promotion

I've some bad news, my dear reader(s). If you thought my updating of this here blog has been sporadic since the Caps' season ended, that was just the beginning. As much as I'd like to, I doubt you'll hear very much of me during the playoffs.

"Why?" you ask? Well, I'll be spending most of my evenings from here through June 24th working on this play. Which you should absolutely go see, by the way. Because perfomances are May 18th-June 24th, Thursdays-Saturdays at 8:00 PM and Sundays at 3:00 PM.

So, if you were one of those people who was really hoping to hear my thoughts on the second round series between the Senators and Rangers , I'm very sorry to have disappointed you. What you should probably do is go here.
