And they lost.

The Bruins are so far down in the standings that I'm thinking that at this rate, they won't even make the wild card...

They play well and they make a lot of shots on goal but they just can't seem to put the puck into the net. It's almost like the puck has a mind of it's own and it either pings off a post or it goes straight into the goalie's glove.

Tonight they take on the Oilers at 9:00.

I'll be glad when this west coast trip ends and they are back on normal east coast start times.


I have a couple of Red Sox things I wanted to share with you:
  1. Pitchers and catchers report in 70 days on February 17th and the first spring training game is in 80 days against the Braves. on February 27th.
  2. The Red Sox have taken another rule 5 pitcher from the Yankees. Hopefully he's another Garrett Whitlock.
That is all the Red Sox news I have for you because the millionaire MLB players and the billionaire MLB owners are arguing about the best way to divvy up all the money that the business known as MLB pulls in every year.


We had the weirdest thing happen and it has me a little creeped out.

In the beginning of December, I told my wife that we should probably replace our coffee maker because it was beginning to have some issues.

For instance, it has a coffee grinder built into it and the gate that holds the grounds basket flew open one morning, spewing coffee grounds everywhere. That was a bitch to clean up.

Another problem is there is a small leak where the water pipes into the grounds which causes a small puddle on the base of the machine.

I told her we should get the same make and model we have now because, well, it makes great coffee. She did what every modern, 21st century American does and went to Amazon to buy a new one. Unfortunately, after looking at almost every model the company makes, she couldn't find exactly what we were looking for. She ended up buying the correct model at an online retail outfit other than Amazon.

Then, two days ago, we get a shipment from Amazon. In the box is a coffee maker from the correct manufacturer but the wrong model. There is a note from Amazon saying it was purchased for us as a gift by an anonymous gift-giver. Neither one of us ever mentioned to anyone that we were looking for a new coffee maker so it is my assumption that someone knew she was looking at them on Amazon.

Who the hell is stalking my wife online, watching what she is looking at on Amazon? And who the hell gives anonymous gifts?

This is more than a little unsettling.


The creatures have been fed and we've had our dinner.
