The Mayor Cometh
This morning I had just left the gym and was heading home for lunch when my phone rang and guess who it was, the Mayor. Yes, the one and only Dean Arsene phoned me as he was driving through Iowa towards Hershey, PA. He expected his ETA to be sometime tomorrow afternoon so the parade should be sometime Friday morning. Unfortunately I will be unable to attend, but I am sure that the tickertape and crowd support will be nothing short of breathtaking. Hopefully I will be able to tune into John Walton's call of the event, perhaps on Penn Live's internet stream. I won't get into details of the conversation with Dean but needless to say we are both excited that the summer is finally over and that we get to be productive members of society again. (If you can call playing hockey productive!) I hope Deano doesn't tire himself out for training camp this weekend kissing too many hands or shaking too many babies...

Winning a championship makes friends forever, doesn`t it? That`s great to hear. I can`t wait for the season to start, pre-season for that matter. I have missed hockey, especially the Bears. Good luck at camp, glad you came home, we missed you.
Hi Graham. Welcome back. It looks as if a good season is shaping up with the signings that have taken place. Good luck with yours and we look forward to enjoying your play this year.
Deano: The Man, the Myth, the Legend!
Hope he wasn't actually doing the cell phone thing while driving--we need him back in one piece (that goes for you too, Graham!).
I walked past him at the Giant Center yesterday. He had a big grin on his face.
Yes, all hail the chief! Too bad you missed the parade Graham...nothing short of spectacular! Ha, ha! It will be good to have you all back and playing again, as baseball season is just a way to pass the time until hockey starts! Hockey has already started up in our house, as my son plays and his practices began on Monday. Not too long now guys....We are anxiously awaiting your arrival, too, Graham! Good to have you back & good luck at camp.
