>>>>>>>>Funny thing is that this morning I went to the barber's shop and saw this issue of the magazine on the "coffee" table of the shop. And I thought about reading something there when my eye caught an issue of Maxim Magazine. Guess which one I picked up? <g>.

>>>>>Yes, as Dragan translated, it's a hair salon. I was a bit surprised when I read 'barber's shop' expression in Dmitry's message (I don't think I saw it in US, but may be as usual I was not paying attention), so I searched for the translation of Russian word and found, that for men it will be barber's shop.

>>>Revved for the Patriots this weekend?

>>Evertybody - I mean EVERYBODY - talks only about Patriots. Yesterday I needed to call Comcast (telephone internet company) with a question. The operator/support person upon learning that I am calling from Foxboro, the home of Patriots, started chattering excitedly about the game on Saturday. Then I forgot why I called and she forgot that she had a job to do <g>. Go Pats!

In fairness, it was an easy time to be a hockey fan in Boston.

He wasn't the fastest. He wasn't the strongest. What he seemed to have was a sixth sense of the game. He knew exactly where everyone was at all times. If you gave him even a fraction of an opening it was in the net. He was a thing of beauty to watch, to witness someone who can do anything that well.
I love the part where the players on the opposing team bump their sticks on the ice in his last game. That's tribute.
