Leaving sunday night was one of the hardest things I had to do.

But, I can't remember the last time I spent excited anxious before a game even though I knew I'd be warming the bench. Oh hell so not complaining. Way too excited for that.

J'pense à rien d'autre qu'à ce soir même si une petite partie de moi souhaite que ça soit la même chose que l'année passée. Je touche du bois!

Good luck guys!

We're finally back!

With us being in Quebec, my family has managed to convince me to spend the holiday back home with Charles. And now he's back home with me. Julie came too obviously. But right now he's asleep on my chest while I'm typing and I feel like all my dreams have come true at once. Julie had gone back home for awhile and brought her with him. It took some negociations but they should both be staying around town for the playoffs. I'm forever grateful to her with all i've put her through.

With the little bundle of joy in my arms I think its time I take off and just enjoy this.

So you know what I do in the morning when i get up? I ask myself "Self, how could I ruin someone's life today?" On Jan. 17, I finally figured it out. I'm going to ask to be traded and make sure that all my new teammates are going to hate me because of who they traded me for.

This morning, I woke up, and said to myself, "Self," I said, "you know what would make my entire team's life miserable? I'm just going to have such a great practice that they're going to have to play me." Not only that, but I planned to stink the place up, and I did it all special, just for you.

....

The last thing I want is to be so far down the coach's shit list that I won't see the light of day ever again. But like I said, I didn't ask for a trade and I know most people would prefer that it didn't happen. But guess what? It did. And while I know it wasn't my best game, I think I can bring something to the team and apparently the organization did too since I'm here. Maybe Dany or Marc-Andre would have won the game. Fact is I should have won that game and I'm not saying it wasn't my fault. But you know what? As far as I know, I wasn't the only guy in white out there.

It wasn't my best game no. AND it probably ranks right up there with one of the worse I've played.

Alright so this wasn't something I expected.

Still not quite sure how I feel about it actually.

I was hoping I could follow on last year's performance. Now don't get me wrong I'm happy for Jeff.. But at the same time... Yeah not so happy with myself.

Je pense que Charles s'ennuie vraiment de Kris.. Moi aussi tant qu'a faire. Bon. Bientot je le verrai.

Summer's almost over. Kennedi and Kienan are back in school. And I'm getting daily reminders that I gotta head to Edmonton sooner rather than later... can you tell that I'm pushing this as late as I can?

Don't worry guys I'll be there in time

Can the summer last any longer? I don't think I'm ready to go back to Edmonton just yet. seriously.

In between the win and my computer crapping out on me regularly I haven't been around much.

But seriously, once everything settles down and I actually go buy a new computer, I need to plan a long deserving vacation. I think we all need it

With two minutes finally to myself, I can get down to saying what's been going on since I last updated. Okay maybe not everything but part of it. or something.

I can hear Charles babbling to my mom in the other room. I know its late for him but he just woke up, asking for dada... That was a little harder to explain to my parents. They knew I was having problems with Marie-Julie, and kind of about Kris but nothing really that would explain why he was calling him dada. I'm not ashamed of him but it just wasn't something I wanted to tell them over the phone and they had gotten here during practice and monopolised Charles' time. But now they know. It was.. awkward at first. I don't know if they get it. But they didn't seem to be wanting to not do anything about it. And my mother sat down and asked about them, which actually included me showing her kris', kennedi's and Kienan's.

And she wants to meet them. Now that should be interesting. I can't think of anything else that I would like more... so they'll probably come back with me if we go back to Detroit after the Worlds. Hopefully we do.
