As those that read this blog on a regular basis, you know that I have a passion for all things reading and books; it was something that was instilled in me at an early age and something that has carried on for about 30 years.
But there is something else that I am equally passionate about and even though I have only followed them on a regular basis for the past 17 years, they would be considered to be my second passion in life. They have caused me great consternation at times, but also they have caused great joy and great anticipation. They have caused me great heartache and made me wonder why I even bother follow them at times and have made me to lose sleep on a number of nights wondering if they will ever live up to my expectations. Well, not just my expectations, but they are probably largely responsible for my nails never to really grow to a length that I would like (there are other reasons as well too, but they are the main reason).
They are the never ending soap opera at times, especially when things are going really bad and the light at the end of the tunnel seems to never appear. With a book, I know there will be a beginning, a middle and end. With this one, I know the beginning, but I don't know where the middle is nor do I know where the end will be and nor do I want to know what the ending will be. Its a never ending story of sorts.
If you haven't guessed by know, my other passion is a sports team that is 4 wins away from its first league championship. It has been to the league championship 2 other times, the last one being 17 years ago. So before I sign off, I will say this: Go Canucks Go.

Too funny!! I don't follow any professional sports (like College football and that's it), but I've heard others refer to them as a soap opera. Hope your Canucks pull through!
