Still Complicated

What's today? June 1st. The year is almost half over? Time is flying by way too fast. Last Saturday was one of those surreal days that you couldn't believe. I get home around 1pm after my workout and visit to the dry cleaners. The heavens opened up and around 4 1/2 hours later I couldn't believe the sight. The heavy rain and thunder already made the drenched ground even worse and turned roads and the golf course where I live into a mini-version of the Schroon or Hudson rivers. This is where having a decent cell phone comes in handy. Took some remarkable photos of the aftermath. It was amazing the sheer force and power of the rushing water. Unbelievable.
Last week we had an major outbreak of foot in mouth disease. 3 cases. Fred Wilpon in the New Yorker magazine. Tiki Barber comparing concealing an affair from his pregnant wife and hiding out to some one trying to avoid being tracked down and sent to a concentration camp by the Nazi's. Last but not least, Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis saying without football on Sunday, we'll see a rise in the crime rates. At least Fred Wilpon admitted that he screwed up Citi-Field big time.
Does anyone really care who won Survivor, American Idol or Dancing with the Stars? I didn't think so either.
Hockey predictions - Bruins in 6 games, Aeros in 5.
Welcome back to the NHL Winnipeg. Hopefully the Jets name will be coming back as well.
I have no problem ripping Bristol Tech at the drop of a hat. Today they get complimented for two reasons. First one. Saturday mornings on Bristol Tech 2, Australian Rules Football! Yes! That is one of the things on my bucket list. To travel to Australia and see one of those games in person. Love watching that sport. It is sick and awesome in a good way. Remember playing, "Kill the guy with the ball" as a kid. That's what Aussie Rules reminds me of. 2 teams of 18 guys running around in total chaos beating up the one who has the ball while trying to score. The second compliment goes to "Outside the Lines" and their story last Sunday about 7 on 7 AAU touch football/passing leagues.
Jim Tressel, don't let the door hit you on the way out of Woody Hayes Hall at, "The Big Horseshoe!"
The garden is finally planted! My garden is like having thanksgiving with the family. Every year I claim I'm gonna cut back and plant less, but it ends up being the same or even more. Just like Thanksgiving. You want to cut back on what's going to be served, but nothing ever does get cut or left out of the menu. Big thanks to Dave Thomas for letting me borrow his Mantis tiller. That thing is great! Helped out a bunch with loosening up the soil.
Baseball fans, take a moment to think about and pray for Gary Carter and hopefully he'll beat those brain tumors they found. "The Kid" was one hell of a catcher for the Expos and Mets. Happy Birthday Cloutier and Dubray. Still complicated...Leccese out.
