ROCK THE RED!

April 15, 2010 By: mbomichele Category: sports

washington Capitals

CAPS fans and soon to be CAPS fans! Rock your Red tonight as the Washington Capitals host Montreal for their first game of the NHL playoffs.  The Caps are looking good as the Eastern Conference Regular Season Champions and heavy favorites going into the playoffs!  The puck drops at 7:00 tonight at the Verizon Center . 

This season, the Capitals didn’t just rise to the top of the NHL pack, they made a mockery of the standings, besting their nearest competitor in the Southeast Division (Atlanta) by 38 points, finishing 18 points ahead of their nearest competitor in the Eastern Conference (New Jersey) and besting the San Jose Sharks by eight points to secure their first Presidents’ Trophy.  Alex Ovechkin, who was named team captain midway through the season, is in line for his third straight Hart Trophy as league MVP, even though he and his 109 points finished out of the running for the Art Ross and Rocket Richard Trophies on the final weekend of the regular season. Nicklas Backstrom has emerged as a top-five player in the NHL, finishing fourth in the league with 101 points.

The Return of Tiger Woods

April 13, 2010 By: mbomichele Category: sports

golf in virginia

So,  how is it that Tiger Woods could reenter the world of high intensity, high stress, mentally and physically challenging major golf tourneys and barely flinch until the last 15 holes?  Is he heartless, spineless.. or just an addict of another type? Perhaps, EgoCentric Addict? Do you think Buddhism or his therapist have factored that into his treatment plan?  Either way, watching him stride around the beautiful fairways of Augusta put me in the mood to pull out the sticks and hit the links.  Ther eare lot so great courses in the loca area.  Some offer great spring specials…. Check them out:

Ride the Fred!

March 23, 2010 By: mbomichele Category: commuting

fred bus

Need to get around Stafford and Fredericksburg and are lacking an automobile, or just want to avoid driving or spending the big bucks on gas… try the Fred. 

The Ride the Fred website will help you plan your entire route, to make sure you get where you need to go in a timely fashion. Plan your trip and check out fares.  There is even a Route Deviation Service if you need them to pick you up off their route. 

As a general matter, where road conditions make it safe to do so, FRED will deviate from its regular routes by up to 3/4 miles and up to two minutes to make special pick ups and drop offs.  You must call us 24 hours in advance to schedule this special service.  At that time, their dispatchers will determine whether they can provide the service and provide information about bus schedules. 

For first-time users of FRED’s route deviation service, you will need to give them about a week to process your request.  This will allow them time to evaluate your request to make certain that it falls within their guidelines  and that the buses can safely provide the service.

Call FRED at 540.372.1222 and touch “0″ at the prompt to schedule this special service.
