The arrival of mud and black flies

Hi there. We start off with good news from Easter Sunday. I did not either hurt or aggravate my back video conferencing on Skype with my family who were in South Carolina like I did at Christmas time. Easter was both Skype and pain free.
We fought and won the American Revolution so we'd no longer be ruled by the British Monarchy. So how come we are still obsessed with them 245 years later? Example, at the home page on my laptop, it had a page that you could go to and send a congratulatory message to the happy royal couple on their impending nuptials. Personally, I would have been more impressed if they announced a royal elopement or they snuck off and got married by Elvis at one of those chapels in Las Vegas. Does Will and Kate have a bridal registry and what do you give a royal couple as a gift? Crystal champagne flutes, candle sticks, gift cards to Harrods?
Speaking of getting married, maybe there's hope for me after all. I read where Rob "Deuce Bigalow" Schneider tied the knot. Who's up next, David Spade?
One more wedding note before we move on. This young lady named Robin goes to a Milwaukee Brewers game with a banner proposing marriage to Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun. The delusional fan made the mistake of putting her cell phone number on the banner and it managed to make it on camera. Bad move. Robin you've got as much of a chance of marrying Ryan Braun as I do of marrying my secret crush, Lisa Robertson. Slim and not gonna happen.
NBC pulled the plug on Paul Reiser's new show after only 2 episodes! It wasn't all that bad. Come on peacock network execs, don't you remember "My Two Dads." Now that was bad!
Check out the video on You Tube in which Billy Crystal stars with Helen Mirren and Rob Reiner in a spoof to the sequel of, "When Harry Met Sally." Very funny.
One more funny note. HBO did an hour long round table comedy discussion called, "Talking Funny" with Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Louis CK. (Who the heck is Louis CK anyway?) It was and is a fascinating and humorous program that really gives you insight on the world of stand up comedy.
Is it just me or is there a lack of interest in the NFL draft this year while the fiasco known as the collective bargaining agreement negotiations hangs over it like a 2 ton weight?
With both the Rangers and Knicks making quick first round play-off exits, does that mean the Madison Square Garden renovations will be completed ahead of schedule?
Who would have thought that Mariano Rivera would have more blown saves than Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez at any point of the baseball season.
Would like to power wash the patio and start lettuce seeds if we get a few dry days in row...Leccese out.
