This has to be his best story:
One time Andersson was flying to Russia to see a prospect for the third time, and his flight was delayed. After five hours on the runway in the snow, Andersson heard "this unbelievable roar. "And I look at the window and there's this big ring of fire -- flames in the middle, and in the back of it there's a fan. It was a fan blowing wind through this ring of fire so the hot air would de-ice the plane. It was old-style Russian de-icing. "So I was scared looking out. And at about 4:30 in the afternoon they said, 'OK, no flight. Get off the plane. Try again tomorrow if you want.' But then the game was going to be over, of course." Thankfully, Andersson had already seen the prospect. Another scout on the plane, from St. Louis, had not. And that's how the Wings got Pavel Datsyuk.

As the sun set, we found a honey-hoisin-ginger glaze for the chicken, tossed it on a bed of lettuces from our garden (baby romain, salad bowl and buttercrunch) and served it with a chardonnay-semillon blend with a touch of black currant syrup, known in some circles as "kir." Oh, and I've started a photo blog so maybe I'll post more often. Maybe.]]> http://www.originaljb.net/sharing/2008-06-08-23-49-42.shtml http://www.originaljb.net/sharing/2008-06-08-23-49-42.shtml Backyard Food Photolog Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:49:42 -0500 Backyard tour
It was a big outdoors weekend for us - the patio furniture came up, the grill came out and the garden is starting to show some progress. Plus, we're really liking how the flox is hanging on. See more photos in the annex.

Now, there are whole services to share what we do. Gosh." The next day Jeffrey Zeldman had a similar thought: "We are witnessing the disappearance of the all-in-one, carefully designed personal site containing professional information, links, and brief bursts of frequently updated content to which others respond via comments. Did I say we are witnessing the traditional personal site’s disappearance? That is inaccurate. We are the ones making our own sites disappear." Anyway, if you're interested in watching the experiment, you can now find snippets of me on twitter, tumblr and soup. Can't decide which of those last two I like better. If you've got an opinion, feel free to drop a note, comment, tweet, y'know whatever.

Took a walk around the yard today. Found a bunch of flowers. The two pear trees, the weeping cherry, the serviceberry and the flox are all blooming up a storm.
