Back atcha, my dear

today is my Friday

Cool, breezy but sunny today.

Gotta say that I didn't think Barry had it in him. But complete Kudos to POTUS for standing up for ALL Americans to have their full human rights.

Guess who is working the Manchester United game? I expect to see about 10 penalty kicks awarded to United. He's been one of SAF's best signings

Tom Adams ‏ @tomEurosport
According to our Italian office, Alessandro Nesta will announce at 1pm that he is leaving Milan to join New York Red Bulls.

Hey, Robert

Liverpool Plus ‏ @LiverpoolPlus
Released #LFC Academy player Matty Regan has signed for Nottingham Forest. @JimBoardman @empireofthekop

Well, that's the end of a perfectly reputable player's career.

I'm going to (south) Jersey!

I hope its not contagious

We're going all the way to... Triangle, Virginia. Going cabin camping at Prince William Forest Park on Friday & Saturday nights!

enjoy

So Saturday will be fun. All on NBC Sports Network - United at 4:30; Caps at 7:30. Hoping for a victorious sweep.

Loved the Caps effort last night. Remarkable to come back from horrible losses in Games 3 and 5 to respond with victories. Series really should have been over in 5, with all the chances the Caps had in the overtimes in Game 3 and then being ahead so late in Game 5. I think the Caps can win Saturday night, but anything can happen in a Game 7 so we'll see.

But if you would have told me on March 31 that the Caps were going to play 14 playoff games against the top two seeds in the East, I would have said you were crazy.

As much as I chided Coach Hunter at times during the season, I find myself now hoping he signs a new contract and returns next season.

Cubs with a 1-0 win over Atlanta last night to win another series. Since starting 3-11, Chicago is a more than respectable 10-7, winning or tying their last 5 series against the Cardinals, Phillies, Reds, Dodgers, and Braves.

We're not going to contend, but it's good to see the Cubs being competitive in most of the games they play and getting some wins.

Good morning, everybody.

I am going to be in MA this weekend.

No. I just figured a puppy picture was a good idea.

Love golden retrievers, though. Not quite as much as bulldogs, but a good bit.

Mornin' kids!
and you old guys too

Going over to The Counter for a burger for lunch today, I get a free shake for it being within 5 days of my birthday Last year I got a chocolate shake made with a raspberry (Lambic?) beer. It was pretty darn good.

I decided to have some coffee this morning, with a wee bit of Irish Cream. Then my mom called. Now the coffee pot is almost empty, and apparently I have a heavier hand when I talk to mama.

Day 2 of unemployment: wake at 6:30am to the sound of the dog getting ready to puke.

That sound (from a dog, cat, or human) makes me want to reciprocate.

The Outsiders comes on at 9:45. I haven't seen it in at least 15 years, maybe much longer. I believe that will be my background TV for chores.

I put a screen in the last door with a storm window in it, and set the cat scratcher/climber in front of it. The kitty is happily curled up on top catching the breeze.

Good morning. Work has been kicking my ass lately. Just got an email scheduling a conference call at 3:30 to go over "what needs to get done over the weekend." Ah well. Things *should* be pretty much back to normal around here by the middle of next week...and at least I get paid time-and-a-half for OT.
