Life Is…


Random Thought

All I can say to the young players is enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly. It’s a great game. And you guys are all very special to be in the N.H.L. and very privileged. So enjoy every minute of it. — Mario Lemieux, Retirement press conference

Identity Crisis

No, not me (at least she doesn’t think so) but this site CathyCardinal.com has been in various states of construction for, what seems like, forever. I haven’t been able to figure out exactly what direction I wanted to take as my interests are so eccentric and diverse. Case in point, in the nearest closet my pointe shoes sit right next to my Brogans with a box of Broadway programs holding my hockey sticks against the wall. It has been my observation that interest in all, or most, of my eccentric facets is not duplicated in many people.

On top of that, so much of the internet experience is passing on nuggets you find from someone else but how annoying is it to google a topic and have the first page of results be the same information presented by 10 different people. I certainly don’t want to contribute to internet clutter!

So I’m taking the easy/lazy/shorter (insert adjective of choice) route and using this site as a launch page for everything Cathy and using Twitter to microblog on my myriad interests and hobbies. After all, it’s hard to ramble in 140 characters.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, check out the links here for some of my focused attention and follow me on Twitter for the more random eccentricities.
