Well….it’s Friday morning and I find myself out at Kava house (a local coffee shop) writing this since the dsl at my place is down again. I think it’s down more than it’s up and it is getting to be a pain. Was going to go out golfing today but now I have to stay home to wait for the repairs to happen, unless it miraculously fixed itself while I was grocery shopping. I know…this one is kind of mundane but I am having problems working up any outrage about anything today. The Wings do play tonight but it is a 10 pm game so the result will be the same as last time I expect…I may make it to the first but probably won’t remember anything about it. Oh, well….

Bad day for me and the Wings
Well…feel kind of lousy today for a couple of reasons; one being the fact that the Red Wings lost their first playoff game to the Coyotes and the other that the day was way too much fun. Had to look for the score on the computer this morning since I couldn’t remember the game too much. I do remember that I won the night shooting pool…yay…but I had lost the previous three weeks so I guess maybe I was due. Yeah, I know…getting too old for that crap…but I saved my liver for my whole life so it is time to use some of it, right?
Playoffs for the Red Wings
Well…an interesting week that ended with the Wings getting to 5th in the west…Phoenix should be tough but we should win it in 5 or 6….hmmmm with the preponderance of superstitions that the players have, I probably shouldn’t have made that prediction. Oh, well…have to start the playoff beard Wednesday but it is going to be hard to watch with the first two not starting until 10 pm. But Sunday’s is on NBC at three in the aft so there will be beer involved; and probably some Black Velvet. I just hope we are up 2-0 by then.
Wings are in!
Just a short one before I work out and get a bike ride in….thank you Blackhawks for beating the Flames. We’re in the playoffs for the 19th straight year! Thank you Wings and let’s get going for the playoff run. Osgood looked rusty but I still think he should get some games in before the playoffs.
bad weekend for sports
Well…this weekend was pretty terrible for the good guys…the Wings lost two and then Michigan State went down…but congrats to Butler..hope they win it all. Don’t know why I want them to win but when my teams go out, I’ll take the underdog to be the one. Not logical but that’s that’s just how it is for me.
At least the Formula One race was kind of interesting but verged on being Napcar. I am a huge Nascar fan but over the past few seasons, we have taken to calling it Napcar…since you can start the race, see about 50 laps or so, then take a nap, and wake up for the last 50 laps and you will be able to get the gist of the race. Used to be a big fan when the teams were allowed to be innovative (read cheat) and the cars were not identical. Loved it when, I think it was Curtis Turner, took his 67 chevelle race car and cut 8 inches out of the center to make it narrower and thus faster. Back then, and into the 70′s and 80′s, it was always interesting to read about the sport and who got caught; then you could marvel at their creativity. Now people get caught for a bolt missing from an oil tank or being off from one of the templates by a 16th of an inch…just not the same.
Red Wings and Preds
Well, that was a little disappointing to get to overtime by a great goal by Pavel with 36 secs to go, only to lose it 16 secs into overtime. But a great game, we got a point, and Nashville only has 2 games left and we have 4. so, Go Wings! Can’t wait for the playoffs to start. I think we Wings fans can finally stop holding our breaths.
