Cloudy With A Pint of Blueberries!
By Thomas G Barker

Greetings Fellow Bloggies/Blogettes! Waking up this morning and seeing the dark and gloomy sky only meant one thing to me... plump and juicy blueberries! I don't know about you, but blueberries are sooooo delicious, and they are extremely versatile. You can eat them plain, with milk and sugar, in muffins/pancakes/cakes, you can make syrups and dessert toppings, as well as, create many beverages from this tiny, nutritious, fibre-filled fruit! Not to mention their health promotional applications with links to improving venous and arterial blood flow and antioxidant potentials.

Wow!!! Something just hit me! I don't know if any of you remember the Gummi Bears cartoon show. In that show the Gummy Bears would take a swig of the Gummy Bear Juice made from Gummy Berries and they would gain a wealth of health. Maybe this cartoon was a way for the Government to introduce us to the healthy powers of the Blueberry!? Mind blowing isn't it?! Now back to the Blog!

An update on Kovalchuk story: the NHLPA has filed a grievance against the NHL. The waiting game is now on regarding the agreement of both parties on one mediator for the case. Once a mediator has been agreed upon, the mediator has 48 hours to render a verdict - or so I've read. Apart from that, life in the NHL is the same: a couple free agent signings, the unveiling of the next winter classic locations & teams - Washington Capitals vs. Pittsburgh Penguins in Pittsburgh, and some bickering between opposing players.

As for Kirkland Lake's Western Front - aka Hockey Heritage North - I think Steven Tyler (Areosmith) puts it best: "It's the same ol' story, same ol' song and dance!" So keep on rocking!

Until the next blog,

Cheer Loud, Cheer Long, Cheer Often!
