From the “Was There A Salt Succubus On The Fry Station?” Dept:

The Hurricanes put a bow on the 2022 regular season by beating the NJ Devils after having topped the Metropolitan Division with the added bonus of Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta winning the franchise's first Jennings trophy for fewest goals allowed by a goaltending tandem playing a minimum of 25 games in the season. Yes...more free bird! :) Given the time of day and the traffic, it's back to White Oak to see if they…

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. I felt fear myself more times than I can remember, but I hid it behind a mask of boldness. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."Nelson Mandela from "Long Walk to Freedom" (1994) During last night's Carolina Hurricanes game, the broadcast lineup had a very noticeable change with Shane Willis…

From the “Home of One More Plane!” Dept:

YouTube recently served up a channel that I'm truly obsessed with when I want something on the TV that is relaxing hearing the air traffic control chatter and occasional sounds of jet engines spooling up whilst I'm surfing or just chilling out in the chair. I've been a plane spotter about as long as I can remember and there's nothing quite like the hint of JET-A in the air but when it's late at night…

Decisions, decisions! Which way will I go to redeem the free Chick Fil-A sandwich courtesy of the Hurricanes winning another game at home? The two nearest choices from the house are Knightdale which is decidedly closer but the queue and the bird are usually abominable or the store on Capital Blvd in front of Sam's which is much farther away but the experience is usually much better. Seeing as I'd like to be back before…

It's always a pleasant surprise when you find someone you've not seen in a while on the TV! Today it is my sister's former boss when she was Artistic Director at the Gilbert Theater in Fayetteville and generally all-round awesome human being...Robyne Parrish! :) She's not on screen for long but she was there long enough for me to do a double-take and Zapruder the credits to ensure my eyes weren't deceiving me. You might…

We're back to the Garner location to get some free Lord's bird thanks to the Hurricanes winning one at home. Their form of late hasn't been the greatest but hopefully they'll leave their problems behind in the playoffs! Today is getting a late lunch with Mistletoe on board and then we're off to a pair of dog parks for a picnic and letting Mistletoe run round like mad. We're also throwing them a curve ball…

A quick run to Clayton with Katie and Alex after school and a free Chick Fil-A sandwich in the app thanks to the Hurricanes means I'm going to take my chances with the White Oak location's drive through which has usually been more miss than hit through the years. Is it the lady or the tiger? Let's find out! :) 1453 - Order placed via the mobile app.1509 - Arrive at White Oak to find…

Katie had a late lacrosse match at the Athens Drive HS stadium against Cardinal Gibbons where Katie made her debut in goal and will be just as happy to not do that again anytime soon! She's never really been a fan of the position when she played football and apparently lacrosse isn't much more enjoyable between the pipes for her but she held her hand up when the team asked for volunteers and was rewarded…

You know the drill...another Carolina Hurricanes home win, another free Chick Fil-A sandwich complete with a run through the conga line! That makes their home record 25-5-4 through the end of March and I think I've only missed two of the free sandwiches...one from not being able to muster the energy to endure the queue and the other I forgot to log into the app by midnight. Time to do some maths, shall we? The…

You ever go walkabout and find your mind wandering to far off and imaginary places as you're driving along early in the morning before the sunrise? As I'm driving along the motorway toward Clayton to collect Katie and Alex for school, I noticed that Venus was exceptionally bright as usual but the hellish planet named for the goddess of beauty had a couple of friends nearby. The red colour of her nearest neighbour was unmistakably…
