Griggsy is back with a vengeance and laying the law down once more with his Eastern Conference, as well as Stanley Cup, preview. I don't think I can say anything more than what I said before. The man is a beast. A complete and total beast. -- On today’s slate, I’ll tell you how the... Continue Reading →
The Western Conference…According to Griggsy
Folks, Griggsy is a beast. Just let his analysis speak for itself. Holy crap. This is also the first time I've used the "more/jump/split" feature. So...make sure to keep reading after the jump. Holy crap. --- With the greatest sport in the world less than a week from puck drop, the Gripes takes a... Continue Reading →
Pens Preview: Sidney Crosby
It's been a while since one of these got churned out. What can I say? Life happened and these take time. It doesn't excuse it, but it does provide at least a little perspective. Given the layoff and the change in life style and progress that's been made, I thought it only fitting to take... Continue Reading →
9/17: Griggsy’s Gripes
Griggsy is back on his game and not a day too soon. It only seems fitting that I finally start getting my feet under me and Chris gets his next round of Gripes up the same day that the Penguins opened up training camp. I am trying to get all of the papers graded tonight... Continue Reading →
Back For The First Time
Folks, I have arrived in my new town and have mostly unpacked. I am still alive. I am doing well and, frankly, couldn't be happier. I am still doing some amount of unpacking and needing to pick up various supplies that I forgot to bring or buy in my recent trips to the local shopping...areas.... Continue Reading →
9/3: Griggsy’s Gripes
Griggsy is filling the void while I am crotch deep in packing and boxes and insanity. Ol' Walt is heading off on Wednesday and it's likely I will not be around until the following weekend at the earliest, but first - Griggsy. Also, thank baby Jesus for football. Here we go. ----------- I’m... Continue Reading →
Back in Town, Back in Time
I got back into town on Friday around 5:30 or so. Since then it has been a complete whirlwind of "Oh, God, what next." As today is Sunday (and I worked at my janitorial job last night), I am taking a rare day of rest. To update everyone on the events of the past week...... Continue Reading →
Gone Fishin’
Folks, Sorry things have been a little light lately. Griggsy is on vacation and I've been dealing with my own stresses and levels of freaking out. Uncle Walt is going to be away pretty much until Friday, but I will, hopefully, have fantastic news to share then. On Tuesday I am making the ~10... Continue Reading →
Finishing Touches
So, I promised I would get new photos posted once the main construction of the pond was completed. Well, we're at that stage. There are, of course, still some finishing touches and minor things to be done, but nothing that requires major time or construction. Some planters, some rock work, little decoration here and there,... Continue Reading →
8/13: Griggsy’s Gripes
Griggsy is back with a vengeance. Not really, he's just got more thoughts on various things (hooooorrrrraaaaayyyyy football is back). While he's gripin' on the internets, I'll be gripin' as I mop the floors at my weekend job. All things depending, I plan on getting the new Pens Preview up between tomorrow and Tuesday. Until...
