Trying to find a work life balance is a real biyatch. My life lately has been a lot like the Coyotes season, up, down, up, down, up. It seems we both prefer that elevator effect… fast highs and unfortunately, even quicker lows. But like my beloved Dawgs I am finding my feet and balance a little more every day.

I want to take this day to say thank you to all my beloved readers. You guys are absolutely THE BEST EVER!  We have weathered one of the worst sports debacles in history (not that its completely over yet) we’ve hung together and supported our boys and each other through the worst of it and now we just have to gather our more skeptical bretheren back into the fold and add to our numbers as well as we can, so the team can continue to progress off the ice. (New ownership groups are coming out of the woodwork every day)

I also want to shout out to my friend GoldenBear who prodded me back into blogging high gear. I love you man! Life is harsh but he never stops giving of himself to others. (Damn I’m incredibly lucky to have such great extended family.)

I am thankful for so much this year and I hope all of you have had at least a shining moment or 3 to reflect back on and realize just how wonderful this life thang is. I have health, loves of my life, a beautiful new grand daughter (who received her first Coyotes gear from dedicated fan MissConduct) I have a new job (whew! boy is my mortgage company glad about THAT) and best of all I have friends and family who stuck by me and contributed to my shining moments this year.

I wish all of you; family, friends, moments of joy, health and financial stability! And of course, a whole lot more Coyotes wins for 2009.

I’m back to stay for awhile, I think I’ve found a balance and I am looking forward to kickin my Yotiedom back into high gear. Odie and I will be producing Barking at the Moon podcasts every Sunday and I hope you’ll join us to chat and discuss our beloved team. I’m hoping to have another little talk with GMDM soon (with some audio footage) hopefully we can get a little insight into how the team has performed in his eyes and where he wants to improve etc.

So Happy Thanksgiving to all and keep your heads held high, you guys are simply the best.

As always… GO COYOTES!
