Fast start

Rather than focus primarily on pucks this season, I've introduced a number of projects to keep myself busy. One of those projects is a Tampa bay Lightning team jersey.

At first, I was going to wait until mid-season, once I'd likely run out of items for Lightning players to sign, to begin this particular project. But, like most things, I couldn't wait.

Earlier today, three more players -- Paul Ranger (top), Ryan Craig (middle) and Michel Ouellet -- signed the jersey, bringing the total to 10 so far.

With this kind of start, there's no reason why I shouldn't expect to complete this project by the holidays.
