It is also well before sunup as I post these 17 interesting links.<br /><br />The usual articles from Gazette, Habs Inside Out, La Presse, and Le Journal aren't posted online at this early time, but can be accessed via the main page link I usually provide at the end of these daily posts.Time allowing, I will add them later in the day.<br /><br />On my plate today are an abundance of "more important than Habs blogging" neccessities.<br /><br />Other than driving my wife to work and youngest child to school, I have to bring my oldest girl to a ball hockey tournament 15 minutes out of town between those daily duties. Then I have to return for a poem recital by my youngest before heading off to a job interview at 10 o' clock. The oldest has a game at 10:30 that I hope to catch. My wife and I have lunch at noon. I have a second job interview for 1:30 PM, and a second game to take in at 2 PM if my oldest makes the semi finals. I pick up my youngest at school at 3 and my cuter half at 5. If the oldest reaches the ball hockey finals, I'm going to miss a bit of the game.<br /><br />In the Robert L home these days, the cash has gotten tight. I've tried to divide family and children responsibilities, job searching, and "Eyes On The Prize" blogging with equal amounts of responsability.<br /><br />It ain't easy to do.<br /><br />Maybe I have too many loyalties.<br /><br />My two young girls are lifers, and I wouldn't want it any different. The two interviews I have today are not all that important. They are longshot job opportunities I owe to myself to investigate. I have been without work for about three weeks now due to a layoff. I will be starting a new job Monday coming either way, with a computer manufacturing firm.<br /><br />My oldest girl has scored 13 goals in 4 tryout games as a defenseman with her schools Grade 9 AA team. She's only 13 and in Grade 7 at her school. She's usually a center on her travel team.<br />A full out, interesting day awaits me for sure.<br /><br />I have a couple of other Habs related posts in the works, which I hope to have up here by Friday's end.<br /><br />My apologies for the lengthy excursion into my private life details, but I was moved to state my head and where it is at in regards to the rising numbers of readers at this site in the past 2 months. There were close to 33,000 readers here in April and more e-mails than I could answer on a day to day basis.<br /><br />All I can think of to say is, thank you - over and over.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195689264724301746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_vL72e54uWCg/SBrL27sz17I/AAAAAAAAIbk/0k9hywKxs2I/s400/bilde.jpg" border="0" /><strong><a href="http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=236495&lid=sublink02&lpos=headlines_nhl">BRUNNSTROM TALKS TO RED WINGS, CANADIENS NEXT</a> - </strong>TSN<br /><strong><a href="http://www.tsn.ca/columnists/bob_mckenzie/?id=236413">WOEFUL POWERPLAY THE HABS BIGGEST CONCERN</a></strong> - TSN<br /><strong><a href="http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=236477&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_nhl">CARBONNEAU TIGHT-LIPPED OVER GAME 5 STARTER</a></strong> - TSN<br /><strong><a href="http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080501.macgregor02/GSStory/GlobeSportsHockey/home">Brière the invisible superstar makes his mark</a></strong> - Globe Sports<br /><strong><a href="http://fourhabsfans.blogspot.com/2008/05/philly-makes-phour-habs-phans.html">Philly Makes Phour habs Phans Phrustrated</a></strong> - Four Fabs Fans<br /><strong><a href="http://denniskanemontrealcanadiens.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/rodney-helps-me-out-in-dealing-with-those-flyers-fans/">Rodney Helps me Out In Dealing With Those Flyer Fans</a></strong> - Dennis Kane's Excellent Montreal Canadiens Blog<br /><strong><a href="http://habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2008/05/bright-spots.html">The Bright Spots</a></strong> / <strong><a href="http://habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2008/05/top-ten.html">A Top Ten</a></strong> / <strong><a href="http://habsloyalist.blogspot.com/2008/05/hubris.html">Hubris</a></strong> - The H Does Not Stand For Habs<br /><a href="http://canadiens.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=362268"><strong>It Ain't Over Until It's Over</strong> </a>- Montreal Canadiens.com<br /><strong><a href="http://canadiens.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=362174">What Will It Take?</a></strong> - Montreal Canadiens.com<br /><strong><a href="http://canadiens.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=362164">Game 4 In Numbers</a></strong> - Montreal Canadiens.com<br /><a href="http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/250950.html"><strong>Le CH n'a pas oublié 2004</strong> </a>- RDS<br /><strong><a href="http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/250959.html">Carbonneau comprend très bien Bégin</a></strong> - RDS<br /><strong><a href="http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20080501/CPSPORTS0101/80501231/6881/CPSPORTS">Carbonneau demeure optimiste</a></strong> - La Presse<br /><a href="http://www.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/05/20080501-191325.html"><strong>Carbonneau demeure optimiste</strong> </a>- Le Journal<br /><strong><a href="http://www.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/05/20080501-190824.html">Le Bélarus espère l'arrivée imminente des frères Kostitsyn</a></strong> - Le Journal<br />.Robert Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16631806704699552307noreply@blogger.com
