For me friends, this a wonderful way to cap off a wonderful year here at PHT. That injury to Alec didn’t look good, as any trauma to the head rarely is. And I’ve been thinking about him recently with regards to how he’s doing, etc? But now like “presto” you guys come along with this uplifting story. So thanks very much for the update O’Brien and thanks very much to all of you guys there at PHT, for allowing me to speak at this forum and for putting up with my zany penchant for musical “video” accompaniment! I promise to “seriously” tone it down in going forward, okay?

Friends, I’ll take this opportunity to bid you all “adieu” as I’m now off for my annual “winter” getaway to the desert down south, where “golf, chicks and warm sun” will be the order of the day for the next little while. You guys know me here at PHT as an ardent, proud and “values-driven” fan of the Los Angeles Kings. Well I’ll have you know that among other things, I’m also an accomplished, sexy, 53 year old “ball-striker” with a 12 handicap! Now my game suffered this year due to some work-related upsets. However I’m looking to bounce back in 2013 and get my handicap back into single digits … and I know that I can do it! Anyway, being the old school kind of guy that I am, when I “go away” I really go away, completely free from any “techno” incumberances like email or cell phones. Even all of these crazy women who chase after me here in Vancouver, don’t have a clue as to where I am or what I’m doing! In the meantime though, let’s keep our fingers crossed that all will be well with this CBA business eh? … don’t worry, it will be Take care and we’ll talk again soon friends in the new year. Bye for now, be happy, stay safe and Happy 2013 to all !

ps: Stransky always said that putting a smile on someone’s face was a job well done!

better get your spots before the rosters are full for the playoffs soon!
