A loss and two wins.

The Bruins lost 3-2 in OT to the Senators last night. I don't want to say they played poorly but I will say that the Bruins had exactly zero shots on goal during the entire third period.

Wayne Gretzky, a pretty damned good hockey player, once said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"...

They at least picked up one point for the tie in regulation but the win would have been nicer.

They are off for two days and on the 12^th, they will be in St. Louis to play the Blues. Puck drops at 8:00pm eastern time

The Patriots played football today. And when I say they played football, I mean every part of the team played football.

The offensive line gave Maye the time to make nice passes. They also poked holes in the Bears defensive line to let runners cover some ground and gain yards.

The defensive line was also making it hard for the Bears. They sacked the Bears quarterback at least eight or nine times plus there were numerous tackles for a loss.

In the end, the Patriots won, beating the Bears 19-3.

Next week they welcome the Rams into Gillette. Kick off is at 1:00pm.

Oh, and my other team, the Steelers, beat the Commanders 28-27 this afternoon so it was a pretty good day for me.

My wife cleaned out her gardens and I manged to not only get my yard cleaned, I also got my neighbors yard cleaned.

My neighbor is an old guy who has someone take care of his lawn. They showed up on Wednesday to do the final year-end cleanup of his yard. Unfortunately, the houses across the street from us had not done their leaves and the prevailing winds blew all their leaves into our yards.

Well, one guy got his yard done yesterday and another guy got his yard done two days ago. The guy across the street from me cleared his back yard and his side yard but he left his front yard covered. Seems kinda foolish to me but I guess he's just that kind of guy...

Anyways, since the majority of the neighbors cleaned their yards, I decided it was time to do ours again.

Oh, and I have an alternative reason for doing my neighbors yard. It's not just because he's old. It's also because if his yard is full of leaves, they will absolutely blow all over my yard.

Hopefully the winds are in my favor and the leaves stay away from my yard.
