5/6/2004  Yeah, finally I get around to tellin ya'll whats new.  LOL  Sooooo much has been goin on lately, its been crazy!  WELL!  As you dedicated Royals fans should know by now, unless you've been living under multiple rocks (yes, multiple...even those living under just ONE rock have managed to hear the news)....the Royals DID make playoffs, and after eliminating Johnstown in a wild card game, they moved on to play Wheeling, knocking them out in 5 games, and then Peoria, knocking them out in 4 games, to become the ECHL Northern Division Champs!!!  YAY!!!  But its not over yet!  We're currently playing Florida for the Eastern Conference Championship, with the series tied at 2 games a piece.  Game 5 is Monday, May 11th, for those in Reading, look for it to be on tv...the rest of ya'll, find your way to Florida or to a computer to listen to the game!!    After we get past Florida (keepin my fingers crossed here!!)...then we'll go on to play Idaho in the Kelly Cup Finals!!!  Everything depends on game 5 in Florida, so if you're gonna hop on the Royals bandwagon, NOW is the time to do it!!! 

In Graig-news, the Misch has had an awesome past two games.  In game 3 he had two goals and two assists, and again in game 4, two goals and one assist, for a whopping total of 7 points in his last two games.  WAY TO GO GRAIG!!!!! 

3/29/2004  It's been a while, but this is a SPECIAL occasion, so I must actually update this page...today is my BIRTHDAY!!!!!  YAY!!!  And not just ANY birthday, yes, today is my 18th birthday.  I'm a very happy camper, I'm finally legal, which of course has its advantages AND disadvantages, but I prefer to think of it as a good thing.    I have to admit, I haven't done much as far as work on the good ol' Misch site we have goin here, but in my defense, I will say I've been able to keep the stats and standings fairly well updated.

The season is almost over, only 2 games left in the regular season, and the Royals are fighting for a playoff spot.  I'll keep you posted on their progress, but honestly right now, I just dont know what they need to do to clinch one of the final spots.  Other than that, only a couple new things I've thought of...you can now see Graig's Royals cards by clicking on the Cool Stuff link, and from there, if you find your way into the jersey page, you'll also see Graig's white Royals jersey there.  I love that jersey!!!  Until next time, Go Misch!!!

2/16/2004  Happy Valentine's Day!    What a weekend I've had!!  I'm still trying to recover.  Friday I went to Dayton for the Royals game, then we were off to Reading for games on Saturday and Sunday.  We got to see three wins this weekend....a big change for me, so I was a VERY happy camper!  Graig played well, as usual...despite having a few minor little injury type issues in the last two games.  He'll be fine though...dont panic.   I should have a good number of pictures from this weekend, so once I have them developed and whatnot, you'll be seeing those too.  I'm still working to keep this site updated...but I have a lot to go, so just try to be patient with me.  I'll be adding pictures of Graig's spiffy Royals jersey pretty soon too...since I got sucked into buying that too!  LOL  I make it sound like a bad thing...its not, at all.  And I know who has his black Royals jersey, since I agreed with a friend of mine that I would *share* the Misch.  We're like the little Misch Fan Club on the road...fun stuff. 

1/13/2004  Happy New Year!  Only about two weeks late.    Better late than never I suppose.  I've added more pictures to the Royals section, both from Graig's game against the Japanese National team, and from the games in Wheeling/Johnstown this past weekend.  Lots to see if you haven't seen them already.  Just a quick little summary about the game in Wheeling. The Misch was thrown out late in the 1st for fighting.  Nice, huh? 

12/24/2003  It's a miracle!  I can ACTUALLY update my website again.  WOW.    Just in time for Christmas too!!  YAY!!!  Well, I'll make this short, I dont have a whole heck of a lot to say anyway.  I updated the stats page, since obviously Graig has been up to a lot since the *last* time I could update this thing.  The Royals have a nice little shindig comin up in the near future, they'll be playing the Japanese National Team in a little exhibition game 12/30...I'll be there, so hopefully I can give ya a GOOD report on how the game goes.    Other than that, have an awesome holiday, have fun and stay safe!! 

11/28/2003  Hey again!    I doubt you've all recovered from the recent Turkey Day celebrations, but its ok...I'm still tryin to recover myself.   Just a few more quick updates.  I went ahead and added the December calendar a little earlier than usual...so you can have PLENTY of time to get it up on your wall before the month begins!  Also, I finally got around to adding a couple new Royals pictures, and split the others into two pages.  You can be sure to check those out someday too.  Thats all from me for now, Reading plays tonight against the Florence Pride...you can listen to the game by going to the Royals official site.

11/27/2003  Happy Turkey Day!!!  Hopefully everyone will be enjoying their Turkey Day, not only for the excuse to eat large amounts of food without any guilt, but it really is a good time to sit down and think about the things you're truly thankful for.  I won't bother you with the LONG LONG list of things I'm thankful for, it would take too long.  Instead, just one little blurb of an update.  If you check out the Multimedia section, you'll discover a new choice of wallpaper.  What fun!  If that doesn't make your day, I don't know what will!  

11/14/2003  I can FINALLY update my website again!!  YAY!!!  I don't really know what the issue was, but for the past few weeks, my computer and I have NOT been friends.  I'm glad all is back to normal.    Where to start?  Ummm...well, Happy Halloween!!!  I'm only two weeks late, its the thought that counts.  I can't say that I did much for Halloween, I prefer to sit home on the off chance that a kid will be trick-or-treating as a hockey player.  It hasn't happened yet...but you never know.  Here's my pumpkin...that was pretty fun to carve...too bad it doesn't last long! 

In more *Misch* related news, Graig is back to playing after missing a few games with an injured hand.  Apparently all is good and well now, he had an assist in their game Tuesday.  Go Graig!!  Next game is Friday vs Toledo! 

10/27/2003  Hello again!  It's been all of a week, but I have plenty to talk about.    I went to Toledo over the weekend to see Graig play.  It was a lot of fun, though I'm sure if you ask Graig he'll say it was a pretty cruddy time...hang in there, Toledo will do that to the best of us.  LOL  I took quite a few pictures of Graig over the weekend, so those that turned out are now in the spiffy Royals picture section.  A little more about the games.  Starting with Friday's game, Graig's skate broke.  Nice huh?  Personally I think it was sabotage, we're looking into it.  *I'm kidding, FYI*  Either way, he had to play with someone else's skates, and that's never fun.  The game was ok overall, we lost 5-4 in a shootout, but the guys look good, and Reading should have a strong team this season.  Saturday's game was better...we won 5-2, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting back at all of those Toledo fans that insulted us after the FIRST game.  So there!  While that was all good and well for me, turns out that Graig was slashed at some point during the game, so his hand is somewhat broke.    Hard to say how bad it is or if it will keep him from playing, that's all I know for now.  One more reason not to like Toledo.  Assuming he plays next weekend, I'll be in Johnstown and Wheeling Saturday and Sunday...and I hope to have even more pictures from those two places...you can never have too many.    GO ROYALS!!

10/19/2003  Well, Graig has already played in two games for Reading...and though its nearly impossible to find a reliable source for game stats, to the best of my knowledge he has had a goal and four assists so far.  YAY!!!!!!!  That's awesome.    Hopefully this continues LONG into the season.  I'm in the process of trying to really get this site updated, as I was slacking off over the summer like EVERYONE else.  LOL  I'll get it done soon...I promise.  For now...if you wanna know more about the goings on in Reading, HERE is a spiffy message board that seems to have a lot of intelligent posters around.  Very cool.

10/17/2003  As you may or may not know....Graig signed with the Reading Royals today!  YAY!!!

In case you have no idea where Reading is, which is possible...as I wasn't positive either...its in Pennsylvania...over on the eastern side somewhere.  I have yet to really look into it...all that matters is that PA is RIGHT next to Ohio, making it a very workable roadtrip.
