No more hockey

The Bruins did not overcome the "home ice advantage" and they lost to the Hurricanes last night.

That means they are all on vacation now. Some of them are out of a job because their contract expired at the end of this season.

I guess we'll see who is back on the team next season.

The Red Sox finally managed to win two in a row but they just couldn't win three in a row.

They lost today and failed to earn what is known as a "winning streak"

They are back in Boston tomorrow to take on the Astros.

Maybe they'll get one of them "winning streaks" then...

The grass is green, the red maple is red, the dogwood is in full bloom and the buckeye is doing quite nicely. As a matter of fact, it is in full flower right now.

In two months, it'll probably all be brown...
