Charity (Just Plain Selfish)
Today, I did something nice for others(myself). The NHL took everyone's jersey from the first period of their team's home opener and auctioned them off for Katrina Relief. Since I am changing jobs and cannot go to L.A. like I had planned, I decided to take that money and give it to charity(buy a jersey). I looked at the available Blues jerseys and, lo and behold, one of my favorites was there for a price I was willing to pay(unlike Sidney Crosby's, of the Penguins, whose jersey was at $20,000 and climbing at last check). I was notified at 6pm this evening that I was allowed to donate a decent sum to charity(won the jersey) and that it will be shipped by the 9th.

Jamal "Jama-lama-ding-dong" Mayers
Most people refer to him as Jammer but the Steph can't help but call him Jama-lama-ding-dong(she has been doing this for years, well before Joe Buck's comercial) and it has stuck with me. The league could use more players like this guy.

Congrats on the jersey, bro. I can't wait to steal it. Uh, I mean SEE it. Yeah, that's the ticket...
Mayers kicks ass. Scary eyebrows and all. Gotta love that. :)
(And he's a nice guy. I met him at a Blues banquet a few years ago - he was funny.)
wooohooo, congrats!
OH, HOLY FUCK! I forgot my curse.
So you helped others AND yourself? What a concept!
Kewl!
Granted, I have no freaking clue who the guy is. But hey - as long as you dig it - that's great.
Yay. You win!
And so do those displaced by the hurricane.
I figured you'd be bidding on Mike Danton's jersey. ;-) I guess it wasn't up for auction?
Ha! Danton!!! Someone was actually auctioning off a pair of his skates on Ebay not long ago!
BTW, for those of you who know that story, where I work and who worked for me, Katie is now back at the mall working at Carter's!!
