Pens v Canadiens (L 2-3)

I hope you all had as nice a holiday as I did! :) Tonight the Pens are going to try to do something they haven't been able to do since November - win back to back games.

In the meantime, Friend of The Show Pat W. is joining some of our Boys on the injured reserve list. Check out this sweet cast customization:

Chameleon: An Original Rhyming Acrostic Poem

I have written a few dozen acrostic poems. There's no particular theme to the collection. I just like playing around with words that pop into my head at any given moment: shadow, unicorn, seeds, nest, Pluto, moon, asteroids, cocoon, cars, lilacs, wreath, mouse, spider, willow, grass. Sometimes, I like the challenge of writing acrostic poems that rhyme. Here's a rhyming acrostic about the chameleon that I wrote a few years ago:

Chameleon
by Elaine Magliaro



Changes suits to suit

His locus. Abracadabra! Hocus-pocus! He’s

A clever

Master of disguise…a trickster who can fool the

Eyes! This

Lizard with a fashion flair takes his wardrobe

Everywhere. Predators don’t stop

Or stare.

No one even knows he’s there.

At Blue Rose Girls, I have a poem by Naomi Shihab Nye entitled Snow.

Tricia has the Poetry Friday Roundup at the Miss Rumphius Effect.

A Christmas Day Post in Honor of Our Soldiers and Veterans

James Taylor is one of my favorite singers. Here is video of him in concert in 1971 singing a song he wrote entitled Soldiers.

Video: Cute Animal Christmas Song

I haven't had much time for blogging lately--too busy preparing traditional dishes and desserts for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I came upon this "cute" video today and thought I'd post it for your holiday viewing pleasure.

Pens v Lightning (L 0-2)

Alright, Boys, let's welcome Ryan Malone, Mark Recchi, and Adam Hall back to town with a Pens victory! ;)

And how about the timing in Whit's return in relation to Tanger getting hurt last night and having to sit out tonight's game?

Geez... I'm sick of injuries. >:(

GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!

Pens v Sabres (W 4-3 OT)

The Pens play the Sabres (again), and this time I've got a little something riding on it.

Okay - long story short: my former supervisor from my old job is now an instructor at the community college for whom I now work. (I know - it's complicated, haha!) So I still have to put up with this Sabre lovin' Buffalo native. :P

Anyhoo, he came to my office today and said, "Wanna bet?" How could I say no? We entered a friendly wager so the loser has to wear the winner's jersey all day on the next casual Friday after Christmas break.

I really, REALLY don't want to be seen in public in a Sabreslug sweater, so...

GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!
