Three at Last

The Bruins have won three games in a row for the first time this season. They currently sit in sixth place in the East. Marc Savard is back. Can you hear that? That's a million Bruins fans breathing a sigh of relief.

Last night against St Louis the second worst power play in hockey scored two power play goals and threw in a short handed goal for good measure. Patrice Bergeron is playing like... well... Patrice Bergeron. He set up all four Bruins goals last night. It was beautiful.

>sigh of relief<



Meanwhile, we are down to the last two days before Thanksgiving. We are hosting both my and Jen's parents this year and we get to have to kids too. It's going to be a great time. The preparations have begun as last night I made a dessert that will undoubtedly give everyone food poisoning. It's not much, but the first food has been cooked!

We watched a show on National Geographic last night that basically rebroadcast all of the major moments in the Kennedy Assassination. All of the footage came from the Dallas local networks. The name of the program was something like The Lost Footage or something like that.

There was exactly one moment that really stood out for me. Just after Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald a television reporter who was right there when it happened gave a report back to the studio. This was after enough time had gone by that he was able to give the identity of the shooter. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something along the lines of the shooter's name is Jack Ruby and there isn't a single police officer in the building who thinks Ruby acted out of patriotic fervor. They think he was trying to silence Oswald.

This was two days after the President had been shot, and already there were people in both law enforcement and the press who were talking openly about conspiracy. I never knew that kind of talk started so soon after the assassination.

Right after the Kennedy program ended, a show about Abraham Lincoln began. More proof of a connection between the two late Presidents? Could be!
