What a swell response and honor to be a featured blog on TT! Some responses to comments: *lisa* I feel for you in Seattle. Portland is way smaller, and we have a much stronger hockey community. I think the "Winter Hawks":http://www.winterhawks.com/ average almost twice the attendance of the "T-Birds":http://www.seattle-thunderbirds.com/ (both in the Canadian Major Junior "Western Hockey League":http://www.whl.ca ). *Lisa* Ovechkin rocks. Holy cow man, that kid can skate. I'm a Penguins fan (by birth), but I enjoyed watching Ovechkin way more than er, what' his name? Oh yeah, Crosby. *The Shrone* Try not to take me too seriously, especially when I say "I mean it". I mean it. But I'm with you. It's all about balance, and the balance has shifted way too far to the masculine. *ben* Damn, man, you've got a good memory. Or do you still have one of my old business cards? *something blue* If you canucks kick out some hockey/beer haters, can I become a citizen? I know almost as much of your nat'l anthem as I do of my own. (In all seriousness, I took the test and scored something like 4 points higher than the threshold to immigrate to Cananda. But I've got to work on my puck handling skills before I make that move!) Well jiminy Christ-mass! What a swell response and honor to be a featured blog on TT! Some responses to comments:

I believe that Canadians may be legally kicked out of the country if we didn't share in the love of hockey and beer. (joking) I enjoyed reading your theories on religion and politics.

I don't agree entirely with #4. My point of contention being that shifting the power dynamic to women won't solve the problem. What we need is a truly egalitarian society, recognizings the strengths and weaknesses of both sexes and honoring and respecting both for their unique and invaluable contributions to society, culture, religion, etc. Otherwise the same thing will just continue, only from a different perspective and under a different label. I think bringing back a feminine symbol in popular religion would help restore the imbalance. For too long the focus has been on God the Father, totally forgetting the role of Goddess the Mother.

A hockey fan! Woo Hoo! I don't have a lot to cheer about - I'm a Washington Caps fan, after all (But isn't Ovechkin amazing???). I love the theme of your blog and am definitely bookmarking it. TTs are fun. I visit a lot of sites that offer really coo outlooks on life (like yours!) and get lots of new ideas for sprucing up my own blog. Have a great day!
