It’s funny how dependent I have become on my cellphone. Not only for texting, which has become an essential form of communication for me, but in my case, my mobile is also my primary phone. I don’t have a land-line.

So imagine my distress when I got back from a weekend visit to my parents’ place in Cobourg, only to discover that I left my phone charger there. Dead phone. No communication.

Ya I know I could go out and buy a new one, but the thought of buying a replacement for something that I have a perfectly good version of, even if it is 2-and-a-half hours away, just kills me. By the way, what do chargers cost, anyway?

Can’t help but cling to historical fact in hopes that the my beloved Montreal Canadiens can win the Stanley Cup this year.

When they won it in 1971, a rookie goaltender by the name of Ken Dryden led them to victory. In 1986, when they won their 23rd championship, first-year goalie Patrick Roy was between the pipes.

And as the Habs prepare to dust off the Bruins in the opening round of this year’s playoffs, rookie goalie Carey Price is in goal for the Canadiens.

A good omen? Only the hockey gods know for sure. Go Habs Go!
