I was watching hockey

Gotta be honest with you, I forgot to post something yesterday because I wa watching a very spicy and chippy hockey game between the Bruins and the Lightning

It got so chippy that at one point, the two goalies go into a fight.

In the end, the Bruins lost in a shoot-out. They still picked up one point which moved them up a slot in the wildcard.

Their next game is this Wednesday against the Panthers. Puck drops at 7:00 and TNT is carrying the game.


Pitchers & catchers report in 8 days.

Full squad workouts start in 13 days.

They still don't have a third baseman...



Yes, our newest family member is doing just fine.

Our son gave us a digital picture frame shortly after she was born that allows him to upload pictures over the interwebs. This means that every day, we get five or six new pictures and both my wife & I look forward to seeing them.

It's like we have our own private television channel featuring our granddaughter.

Another cold day

Once again, it is colder out side than it is in my refrigerator.

On the upside, it isn't as windy as they said it was going to be.


Here is yesterday's injury report for the New England Patriots:
They have one week to get everyone healthy.


Taxes are done and filed.

One of the things we discovered now that both of us are retired is that we are withholding way too much in federal taxes. The fact that Trump changed the deduction for us old folk may have also impacted our return.

Nice win

The Bruins took an early lead and never really looked back, beating the Flyers 6-3 in regulation.

They remain in the second wildcard slot simply because the rest of the division keeps on winning. The damned Sabres now have a 5 game win streak and the Lightning wins every time the Bruins win. The only team that lost was the Red Wings and they still picked up 1 point because it was a loss in overtime.

The Bruins take on the Lightning tomorrow. Puck drops at 6:30 but since the game is being carried by ESPN, no one really knows when the opening faceoff will happen.

A bit cold

Someone owes us a degree:

Hey, at least it isn't snowing.


Today I learned there is an entire product line for a otter named Steve:

If I was still working at a large meeting-loving company, I would definitely buy that coffee mug.
