Well…I’m the soul of depression this morning since the Wings lost last night….so, this is it for now…just wanted you to know I’m still alive….

Well…overdid it a little last night…seems like a pattern for the last week and I’m going to blame it on the hockey playoffs…needless to say, I’m a little sluggish and part of it is allergies…I hope. Did have fun out with G last night and I am looking forward to the Wings game tonight…got a long bike ride in yesterday and I’m a little sore today but I might survive it…got a compliment last night where one of the people in the bar didn’t believe I’m as old as I am….small things can make me happy. Not much to do today..going to lay out in the sun and start to get some color…or even out the stripes that I get from being out on my bike…going to have a couple with K later and then get ready for the game….more later…

Well…I earned feeling crappy this morning with the Wings game and another win….now we go back to Cali thursday to complete the comeback….man…I can’t even think…it was a high stress day waiting for the game to start yesterday….nope, can’t do this right now….need water and the couch….might be back before I go to coffee…or not…

Okay…feeling much better after coffee and the brain is working a little better so let’s get something done…man, that was one of the best hockey games I’ve seen in years…full power the whole time with no let ups by either team…I was grinning like an idiot watching the punch and counterpunch that was going on; how do they do it? and, Pavel in another fight…I am so glad we have the best player in the league on our team…I did have a pretty good day yesterday…it is so nice to have the weather start to cooperate and be able to go out on the bike in the morning….not much to do today…I think out to have a couple with G later but that is about it…and I think I have plans with K for tomorrow…it is nice to have something to look forward to…I will get another one out later today…Manny Lopez is off the rails again and I just have to comment…

Well…this one is going to be short so I can get back to the couch and try to recover after yesterday…I think I’m just getting old….maybe it’s a good omen that I came from 3 games down and won the night last night at pool…so now the Wings have to do the same thing tonight….not much of a day yesterday other than shooting pool….and not much to do today…I may just skip the coffee and papers today I feel so crappy….more later…

Okay…fell like I’ve cheated a little this morning and I want to get past that…I did go out for coffee and I am beginning to feel human again…should be much better after working out and getting on the bike which I am going to do right now…I am getting really geeked up about the Wings game tonight…will probably go out and watch part of it at the bar since I would like to be part of the win that I’m sure is coming….I hope….it would be cool to take it to game 7 and win it in their building…and have the Sharks choke again…I will be back later with more topics but the weight machine is calling and I should get to it or I’ll find an excuse to skip and be lazy…

Well… no cocktails last night so I feel okay this morning but I think part of it is that the Wings won in a come from behind victory over the Sharks last night and they are still alive in the playoffs….it was an okay day yesterday but I am a little concerned about a left hamstring that started to flair up with some pain….we’ll see when I go out on the bike this morning. It is odd to not have a race to nap through Sunday aft and it was kind of boring but I can take it with the weather getting nicer. Not much to do today…I think we’re moving Tuesday to Monday and that will work out well since I think I may want to go out to watch part of the game…have I said I hate the NHL and Versus? I do get to watch last night’s game today, but it’s just not the same…with the clear head I have this morning, I will get at least two topics out today…yay, I’m half way there…more later…

Well…waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d do my duty and get one of these out…you know the pattern on the weekends, I always promise I’ll get another one or two out but it rarely happens…so don’t plan on it today but there is always hope. Yesterday was one of those days where I just didn’t know what to do with myself so I didn’t do much of anything…a great long ride, though. Found out that another one of the kids is moving out of state and I can be nothing but happy…I’ll give updates as it unfolds…not much to do today…since it’s Mother’s day, I don’t think I’ll see anyone or do anything other than take a bike ride…there is an F1 race on and then the Wings later…and I hear the coffee has finished so I’m going to watch the race and read the paper….more later…

Okay…got the ride in, made lunch, and the first half of Man U and Chelsea is over so I can get on to other things…like paying the cell bill and getting more of these out….oh, Man U is up 2-0 at the half and, since it’s my team, I’m happy….felt really crappy when I got up this morning and you and I both know the reason for that…the Wings game is on frickin Versus again so another time where I can’t see what might be Nick’s last game until tomorrow when the re-run is on the NHL network…might have to go out and watch part of it…well…I’m going to go back and read the paper again to get a topic for the day…nope, already have it but need to let it ferment for a while….more later…again…

Well…it’s Saturday so you know I’m going to be late….but if I’m always late, doesn’t that mean I’m on time? Wrap your head around that one….it’s an existential question that I really can’t answer or won’t….it was a pretty nice day yesterday…the Wings finally played one but I couldn’t see it since it was on Versus…what the heck is the NHL thinking? Do they want to grow the sport or kill it? It’s the same thing that Indy car did when it went exclusively to Versus and now the series is dying since no one can see it any more. Oh, yeah, right….this is supposed to be about life…I did splurge and make myself a normal breakfast this morning…there just is nothing like bacon and eggs…..and I’ve already read the papers and had my coffee so I’m ready to get the bike ride in and then come back here and get at the leaning tower of newspapers that has now reached such heights that it is taller than me when I’m sitting…there could be real danger here of serious injury if the tower falls over….not much to do today….might go out and have a belated Cinco de Mayo with K later and there is a race on tonight but I will have a hard time filling the rest of the day…maybe I should clean more…or maybe get a couple of posts out…who knows? More later….

Well…a quite busy day yesterday…I had finally had enough of the filthy car so I cleaned it from top to bottom…and then it rained and made it dirty again but that’s what life is about…little disappointments and all you can do is just sit there with a bemused smile on your face…..I think I did figure out the inability to write lucidly is related to my efforts to be a nicer person….it has taken the edge off and now I may have a decision to make…either continue on this path and not be able to write or take a few steps back and restore my abilities….yeah, I know what you are going to say…you never thought I had any abilities…but if that’s the case…why are you here? I don’t know either…..I did have work to do around here after the car and it was quite nice to not have to try to defeat the boredom for a day….not much to do today…I do have the grocery run and a bike ride for the morning and then the decision whether to watch the Wings play tonight…I’m so disappointed in their play that I may watch “Fringe” instead….or go out and do something…there will be topics later so come on back……

Well…I am really depressed this morning since the Wings lost again last night and they are almost out of the playoffs…oh, well…it is only sports after all….other than that, it was an okay day yesterday with having a couple with G and getting a nice ride in….I do feel a little crappy with the cocktails last night but I may survive it…we’ll see. Burned some sugar that leaked out of the foil I was cooking ribs in and this place stinks quite badly…hope it’s going to be warm enough to open the windows today and air this place out. Not much to do today…..I need to heal up for a while this morning and it looks like it is going to be sunny so a 20 miler should be in order….I will get back to the politics today and get a couple out…I hope…

Okay…I know I’ve not been as prolific as usual but I don’t know the reason yet…I wonder if it might be that I’ve stopped talking politics to anyone for my own mental health or maybe the distraction of the Wings games? I think I do need to take this more seriously…or not, who knows? As you can tell…I’m all over the place today…I did get the car cleaned and a workout in already so that’s an accomplishment isn’t it? I still feel like I’m just idling in my life…I wonder when I’ll run out of gas? I will get to another one today after I get the bike ride in…but I have to have lunch first so that’s what I’ll do now…

Well…it was a busy day yesterday with lunch with T and the out to have a few with C….needless to say, I feel a little crappy today…nope, let’s make that more than a little crappy…let’s make it medium to medium high crappy….and I know part of it is not eating…but you know that’s been a problem for me for a long time….but, I’m not going to complain about that right now since I did stop and get food to cook today….I’ve had a netflix movie sitting on the counter for a couple of days now and you’d think I would have enough time to watch it but I haven’t….maybe today but who knows? Not much to do today…should have a couple with G later and then holding my breath waiting to see which Wings team comes out to play today….and, since I do feel crappy, I’ll end here…more later…
