Offseason Update

Hey everyone, I'm here relaxing in the white sandy beaches of Kona, Hawaii catching up on some much needed relaxing time. With the web traffic I've generated, or rather, the team generated, I was able to finance a nice little trip to the coastal Hawaiian town for a week long surfing excursion.

But this post isn't about me, it's about the players. A lot of fans have expressed interest in learning about how the players spend their offseasons. Where they travel? What they do? If there is any strict training or dieting regimen they go on? So, I was able to convince a few of the comrades to keep journals during their offseason and email me their entries for me to post here. I'll continue posting them as I get them. For now, here are a few of the ones I have:

Just enjoyed another day in Burke. I slept in kind of late, hitting the snooze button until 3:30 PM, but my body is still sore from the season so I figured I deserved the extra rest. It's nice hanging out at the townhouse and forgetting about hockey for a little while. I have to do a photo shoot with Mayor Fenty later this evening, but other than that, I plan on relaxing. Probably won't start skating again for a few days.

Wow! Hungover city, population me! Was at a big party in London last night. Went there with my girlfriend to do some traveling between seasons and I had no clue that London was so awesome. I ended up mooning one of those guards that stands by Buckhingham Palace while yelling at them about the Revolutionary War. Funny story too, we started drinking at a pub called "The Tower" and I ran into Ben there. Had no clue he was even traveling this offseason, let alone to the same place. We met up for drinks, then I used the bathroom and I never saw him again the rest of the night. He hasn't returned my texts but I wrote him on Facebook. Oh, have to go, flying to Amsterdam now! Catch up with you in a few!

Spent all day in bed watching Mulan. Great movie.

I ran into Pat a few days ago on the east side of Londontown. I didn't have any idea he was going to be there, so it was cool to see a familiar face. He went to use the bathroom at one point and I was led away by a stunning lady in white. Right away I knew she was the most beautiful girl in the world, so for one night I abandoned my comrade in the search for a more tender love. She took me to her home, a wonderful estate near the Thames, and showed me her chamber. It was decorated lavishly, with portraits of princes and explorers lining the walls. As she lit candles around her room, I began to realize her intentions, yet they did not faze me. She threw me down on her bed and did things that I would not dream possible. Even as I type this, my body still shakes with the remnants of passion that pass through my veins. The way her body heaved, the way her moan echoed off the acoustics of the room, the way her wig continued to shift around on her head- all so lustful. At one point I believed I heard Pat yelling something about the Revolutionary War outside, and this startled me, momentarily making me lose my focus. This lady, whose name I cannot recall, told me that her guards would seek to the matter. Oh, to swim in her channel for one more day would be heavenly!

Went out to DC last night with Hendricks and Hoefer. Can't remember much.

Was watching CNN this morning while recovering from last night and just read on the news feed that the queen of England is pregnant. Pretty crazy.
