Here we are in the middle of August and most of us are anxiously awaiting the opening of NHL training camps in less than a month.

With that in mind, I am going to take a very mini-break over the next three days before the action picks-up.

I am not going anywhere but just plan to take it easy, re-charge my mind and do a little couch sitting while things are still slow.

You will be in good hands with George and Monica filling in and if anything major does pop-up, I am only a few steps away from my computer.

I planned on going back to bed, but the neighbor across the street decided to have a huge tree removed today and the grinding noise will prevent me from getting some rest at this point in time.
