Frickjrs: Kierin's First Hockey Game!

Kierin's First Hockey Game!

Kierin and his team played their very first hockey game ever Sunday evening at the Dimond Center. It was the Chugiak/Eagle River Mustangs v. the Anchorage Hockey Association Shooting Stars (An all girls team!). They don't keep official scores at the Atom level, but any kid on the ice could've told you who "won" or "lost."

All in all, though, all of the kids had a lot of fun. I know that I had a great time watching Kierin out there fighting for the puck and trying to score goals. It is really cute because they look like this mass of little jerseys that follow the puck from one side of the rink to the other. There is not a lot of strategy at this level. I try not to get too excited because I don't want to be one of those screaming hockey parents.

Sorry there are not a lot of pictures, but the Dimond Center was pretty dark and none of the "action shots" came out. All I could get to come out were the shots of Kierin on the bench. Kierin has another hockey game this Saturday at the Mac Center in Eagle River, so hopefully the pictures will turn out a little better there.

As you can see, Connor loved watching Kierin play hockey and will soon follow in his big brother's footsteps!

Relentless by Dean Koontz

Bestselling novelist Cullen "Cubby" Greenwich is a lucky man and he knows it. He makes a handsome living doing what he enjoys. His wife, Penny, a children's book author and illustrator, is the love of his life. Together, they have a brilliant six-year-old, Milo, affectionaly dubbed "Spooky," and a non-collie named Lassie, who's all but part of the family.

So Cubby knows he shouldn't let one bad review of his otherwise triumphant new book get to him-even if it does appear in the nation's premier newspaper and is penned by the much-feared, seldom-seen critic Shearman Waxx. Cubby knows that the best thing to do is ignore the gratuitously vicious, insulting, and inaccurate comments. Penny knows it; even little Milo knows it. If Lassie could talk, she'd tell Cubby to ignore them, too.

Ignore Shearman Waxx and his poison pen is just what Cubby intends to do. Until he happens to learn where the great man is taking his lunch. Cubby just wants to get a look at the mysterious recluse whose mere opinion can make or break a career-or a life.

But Shearman Waxx isn't what Cubby expects, and neither is the escalating terror that follows what seemed to be an innocent encounter. For Waxx gives criticism; he doesn't take it. He has ways of dealing with those who cross him that Cubby is only beginning to fathom. Soon Cubby finds himself in a desperate struggle with a relentless sociopath, facing an inexorable assault on far more than his life.

Fearless, funny, utterly compelling, Relentless is Dean Koontz at his riveting best, an unforgettable tale of the fragile bonds that hold together all that we most cherish-and of those who would tear those bonds assunder.
