Maszman Speaks!

Raise your hand if you’ve heard this: The ESL ice rink is in dire finan­cial trou­ble. Of course, there’s noth­ing new about this story, includ­ing the involve­ment of (Steve) Don­ner The Hutt. If it involves sports and finan­cial mis­man­age­ment ulti­mately result­ing in tax­payer fund­ing of pri­vate enter­prises you’ll find Don­ner The Hutt’s trail of slime all over it.

It’s funny, ESL is a nice facil­ity but it’s still an open ques­tion as to whether it even needed to be built espe­cially given its inabil­ity to break even. If the county takes it over, it then puts them in direct com­pe­ti­tion with the privately-owned rinks in the area and that’s not the way it’s sup­posed to work.

Lanni and I did some Geo­caching today in Brighton, Hen­ri­etta and Rochester. The weather held until we were done.

Happy Thanks­giv­ing to every­one in the US! There’s a lot I have to be thank­ful for and I hope all of you do too.

Thank you, Donny, for mak­ing us 52 year-old white guys look cool.

I’m not sure what to make of this.
