is the All Star game. Frankly, I don't understand why hockey fans get their collective knickers in a twist over it. All I've been reading and hearing for the past couple of weeks is how people aren't going to watch that garbage, it's meaningless, it's all just schmoozing etc. Personally, I have nothing against mindless entertainment. Just ask Mr. Moey, he's often heard saying "I can't believe you're watching that #@$&%." (I think part of his criticisms are due to nerves, I'm usually watching some made for TV movie about killing or maiming one's spouse). But I digress, I have a plan for Saturday night and it involves oysters and a DVD rental. (Once in a while you have to throw them a bone, don' t you)? Of course I'll PVR the skills competition and watch the game on Sunday afternoon. I quite enjoy it really, no edge of your seat fretting over whether or not we'll get the two points. No feelings of dread and angst over who will be next on the IR list. I just take it for what it is, pure entertainment and a chance to see the best of the best gathered together for a weekend of good clean fun. In a world where television is usually used as a vehicle to deliver more bad news than good, pour your favorite beverage, put your feet up and enjoy the festivities. I know I will.
