Slow Thursday

hockey, politics, work

It is a pretty slow Thursday at work. It is beautiful outside but the long range forecast is for rain. A week of rain. Bah. Stillโ€ฆ you can feel that spring has arrived and temperatures are getting warmer. This of course makes me think of the yard and gardens at home. We have been waging a losing war against weeds and creeping plants on our lawn. We have initiated numerous chemical attacks and hand-to-hand ground warfare, but we seem to lose more lawn each year. We are planning our next assaultโ€ฆit is a shame having a crappy lawn when most other lawns are dense, lush and green. We do have all the shade trees howeverโ€ฆ so we are probably fighting a losing battle. We have even contemplated *gasp* cutting down the Birch tree. Sad.

The post election rhetoric is heating up. Amidst it I found this little gem which fairly accurately echoes how I feel. Anyway, Iโ€™ll give Mr.Harper a chance to fail before I dismiss the next four years. I have very little faith however that I wonโ€™t be very disappointed.

Happy to see the Flyers failing miserably behind 3-0 against the Bruins. Bruins had a Flyers suck chant during game three. That was pretty funny. I like to think delusionally of course that the Sabres softened the Flyers up for the Bruins. *grin* Caps swept by TBโ€ฆ Phewโ€ฆ 640AM keeps on Ovie saying the Caps will never win a Cup with him there. Iโ€™m thinking they maybe be rightโ€ฆ or maybe he needs a better supporting cast?

Knee hurts like a SOB stillโ€ฆ it makes me feel old. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ
