Hi. It's me.

These letters keep getting harder to write all the time. The short break from each other we started seems to be getting longer and longer all the time.</description>

		<category>Loose Change</category>
		<description>Putting together a compelling post-game press conference is a lot like putting together a great recipe. 

We start with:

- One large room;
- 17 burn-my-iris-till-it-smokes floodlights;
-  One extra long buffet table (remove Have a Happy Life Bob &amp; Sue sign);
- A smattering of cameras; 
- Four guys from previous century with notepads;
- One over-sized background façade (logos must be visible from Space Shuttle);
- Some people to man the cameras;
- Some coaches and athletes to field the questions and look pretty.</description>

		<description>Some epic thoughts on the NHL playoffs for people with really short attention spans:

- Has anyone ever actually seen Daniel Alfredsson blink?

- I know I've mentioned it before, but to give you an idea how truly small New Jersey's Brian Gionta is, it takes him three shifts to display his entire last name because he can only fit two letters at a time on the back of his jersey.</description>
