my uncle larry passed away monday night after a long fight with cancer.

the sharks played their final game of the series against the calgary flames last night. of course the sharks came out ahead, and played a really intense game.

my uncle larry gave my dad and brother tickets back when the sharks played at the cow palace. i remember they were really crappy their first season, and actually won that night against a very strong team. my brother was hooked on hockey after that night, and got me very excited about it, and hockey quickly became our favorite sport.

i want to thank my uncle larry for all that he gave us while he was here. i found a love for a new sport, learned to love the beach on a cold day, and became skilled at taking care of rose bushes. he will be missed by us all, and i'll always think of him when the sharks pull ahead and win a game that they necessarily shouldn't have.

i love silly little april fool's jokes!! i love how clever people can be with pranks. here are some things that happened at work today!!

our internal listings of everyone here includes phone numbers, email addresses, and pictures. the picture either had a giant moustache or silly sunglasses. mine had a moustache so big it looked like nose hair growing at an incredible rate. are they trying to tell me something?

some of the cafes had fun with the menu, offering things like zebra and dolphin.

also, if you clicked on a certain button in our calendar system, it would populate an entry that said, "date with johnny depp" or "date with another (hot celebrity)." tee hee!!

of course google had fun with a prank of their own.

and you know youtube had to join the fun.

of course i have to now link to silly geek pranks.

what was the best april fool's prank that someone pulled on you, or you got to pull on someone?
