Friday's Ramblings

Yesterday the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team invited 60 schools (10,000) middle schoolers to watch their practice at the Consol Energy Center.  Talk about a great field trip, the Penguins signed autographs and tossed T-shirts into the crowd of kids.  Check out the video here

I am sure most of these kids have never been to the Consol Energy Center before or seen the Penguins play live.  It's another example of the Penguins giving back to the community and supporting their fans.  It's also a great marketing campaign.  I bet they made some lifelong Penguins fans out of these middle schoolers.

I followed up regarding my wheelchair tires with Chesapeake rehab yesterday.  They are scheduled to install the new tires on Wednesday.  The tires on my chair now are not providing any traction.  As soon as they become wet I just sit and spin.  Basically just stuck.

It's really frustrating waiting on durable medical equipment suppliers.  I ordered the tires last month, my insurance had to approve them and then I needed to get put on Chesapeake's schedule for installation.  I'm sure if I did not follow up it would take even longer.

I plan on meeting some friends later this afternoon, hopefully it does not snow or rain putting the kibosh on my afternoon plans.  Have a great weekend everyone!
