Finally some relief in these hockey-free times: my 2007-08 Hockey Yearbook arrived in the mail yesterday. While I don't particulary agree with some of the projections (Detroit first in the west -- are you high?) it is always a good read and helps pass the time in August and early September. Michael Russo wrote the preview for the hometown team, and it's worth checking out.
On an unrelated note, I stopped by the liquor store yesterday to pick up some beer to enjoy while reading the latest Yearbook. I went in with every intention of picking up some Samuel Adams Summer Ale, which I like, but I instead purchased some Sleeman's Dark Ale. Good stuff indeed. Sleeman's has been long considered a substandard beer in the Great White North, but I've come to like it a great deal. It doesn't leave too much of a bitter aftertaste and has real nice flavor.

I'm sad that I won't be allowed to take the yearbook on the plane with me tomorrow. I guess my family would like to read it before I come home again in December.
i too was pleasently surprised to discover the good smoothness of the cream ale, i was feeling rather frugal one trip to the ye ole liq and discoverd a beer that was both budgetable and delicious! Also I recently moved to WI and will not be able to see many (if any) wild games :( please keep up the blog as covereage here is very limited!
You guys in Minny can now purchase Fat Tire Ale, from the New Belgium Brewing Company in Ft. Collins, CO.
This is one of my all-time favorite domestics. I believe they're only in 22oz bombers right now, but this marks one of the brewery's first distribution forays east of the Mississippi.
I've been lobbying them to start selling in NY since I left Denver in 01.
I've tried Fat Tire Ale, it's very good.
