Well…haven’t gotten a lot of stuff done today, but I wanted to get to this one since the news was good from last night’s game…the Red Wings played the first complete game of the playoffs and that was show by the 4-0 score. It was really something to see with everyone clogging up center ice and not allowing Tampa to get anything going and taking many fewer penalties helped to keep the other guys on their heels for most of the game. To take one in their building and force Tampa to win the next two is really quite neat…but, I am not going to get ahead of myself here…I have been disappointed before but all I can do is root like crazy for the guys and say “Let’s go Red Wings!”
Oh, can’t forget Mrazak the goalie….stood on his head again and made a lot of saves he shouldn’t have…just one more game…
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I think I’m in a rut with not getting anything done…slept okay and had some dreams but nothing really interesting so I’ll just ignore them…didn’t even get out on the bike yesterday….I did go out but going into a 20mph wind was just too much and I came back home…I think that is only the 2nd time I’ve done that…usually, when I get out I just keep going but I just didn’t feel like that yesterday….I should feel worse today but maybe it’s the coffee….not much to do today…Man U is playing right now and then there are are races on the rest of the day…so I’m going to settle in and watch a little sports…more later….
Well….I should have done this one yesterday, after the Thursday night game but I was so disappointed that I just didn’t want to think about it…I mean, up 2-0 with about 8 minutes to go and you lose the game? They played well, though, so maybe that is something to think about? The problem that I’ve seen in these playoffs is that they never put together a complete game…they either start slow and get behind or they play well to start and then collapse at the end….today should be the telling game…back in Tampa for game 5 and we need to steal one….at least the series is going longer than any pundit thought it would…the consensus was that we would lose in 5 games and that can’t happen….Let’s Go Red Wings!
Well..it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and I was able to have the top down out and back and that was a plus…and I finally got a bike ride in after being off it all week…it felt good to get some exercise after being a slug all week and that will happen again today…just waiting for the temp to come up…I can’t wait for the weather to finally warm up so I can go out when I’m ready…it looks like it will be almost 80 by the end of next week so that will finally allow me to get out at 9am…..I feel a little crappy this morning after the long day that Fridays are and I think I slept okay but can’t be sure….I know I didn’t eat enough yesterday…down around 1400 cals for the day and that’s not enough with a bike ride…not much to do today…going to do laundry and clean a little but that’s about it…more later…
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I still didn’t get out on the bike…way too cold…slept okay last night but the Wings lost so that was crappy…I did get out to see K and have a couple with her but that starts the night on the wrong path and I feel a little crappy today….still coughing for some reason and I think I’ll take some allergy stuff this morning to see if that helps…the tree pollen is supposed to be bad already but the car is not coated yet…it will be later for sure and I am not looking forward to that…had ice on the car again this morning and I am really tired of that….when is spring coming? Not much to do today….I have an errand to run this morning and then out for pool but that is about it…more later…
Well…I hope you saw the grandstanding this idiot did earlier in the week when he stood on the senate floor and railed and railed against Loretta Lynch getting approved for the new AG to replace Eric Holder….saying she would never get approved if he had anything to do about it…and here’s the irony…after that little tantrum the idiot didn’t even show up for the vote today…yep, when he could no longer get his followers worked up or keep himself in the spotlight, ole Ted just stops doing his job and doesn’t even bother to show up. Now, that would make great presidential material don’t you think? If anything in his presidential duties didn’t personally benefit him, he just won’t show up…and, we all know why he did it…so his no vote wouldn’t be on the record and couldn’t be turned into a negative campaign ad. What a self centered idiot…..geez…
Well…running really late today and I am going to blame it on going out to celebrate with G on her finishing college…but, I wasn’t good when I got back here so that has something to do with it, too….it was really a chore to go out to get groceries this morning and the car had ice on it, too, which just depresses the hell out of me…and the cold has kept me off the bike for the past three days…..I am in a funk today for all of that and I think I’m going to wallow in it today and just take the day off….I did sign up for Facebook the other day and I still don’t know if I like it or not…had to do it to keep up with the Miata club who switched to it from Yahoo….okay…need to get back to normal here…slept okay last night but didn’t get up until 7:30…way too late for me and that may be why I feel kind of crappy today…nope…that’s not going to work…not much to do today…as I said, I’m just going to write off the day and wait for the Wings to play tonight…more later…
Well…trying to stay up to date on these as the playoffs go on, and with the good win last night, I really want to do this one….as you know, the Wings won convincingly last night by 3-0 and, for the first time, they looked like a team. Not sure what Babcock said to them after the last one but they came out with fire from the start…I think part of it was the return of Abdelkader giving Babcock the ability to go back to the lines that were successful during the regular season…splitting Pavel and Hank up again looked like a great idea since they both played better with other linemates and Pavel kept up his scoring with one going off his foot in the first. It was good to see them play like they can…now I’m excited about Thursdays game and can’t wait to see it…maybe 3-1 going back to Tampa? Oh, I forgot to mention the great play of Mrazak the goalie…stood on his head for his first playoff shutout and I hope that goalie comes back out for Thursday….
Well….running a little late today since I was up late celebrating the Wings win…slept okay but no dreams again but I am getting used to to it…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to try to do something today…the operative word is try…still might not but I am going to try…didn’t get on the bike for a second day and it looks like I’ll stay off today, too…only going to be about 40 today and I have stored the thermasuit for the year so I guess I’ll just wait until tomorrow…it was snowing a few minutes ago and that really depresses me…it’s almost the end of April and it’s snowing? Just can’t take it….I do feel okay today but I shouldn’t and that is one plus that I will be thankful for….not much to do today…going to make it a lazy day until I go out for a couple with G later to celebrate her last day of school…more later….
Well…there was some sad news that came over my twitter feed this afternoon….Steve Byrnes has died after a long battle with cancer. If you have been a NASCAR fan over the past 20 years, you saw Steve doing pit road interviews and working the booth for many races in all of the three series….it was always nice to see Steve asking the hard questions and smiling as he did it…getting answers that others didn’t since he had the respect of everyone in the garage. He leaves behind his wife and 12 year old son…RIP Steve…..
