so summer has started

with the fly guys taking the fall last night, a new season is at hand. i guess it’s summer for a couple of weeks, and then preSeason football. not sure. either way, i’m going to Camden Yards this sunday for a game (bus trip) and the weatherman says 94 degrees with T Storms. yuck. sounds like a good time to sell the tickets to a Mets fan and hit up the aquarium or some such thing.

on the Flyers Front . . .

what a run!

Briere still needs to learn to play D
Leighton gave it his all, but he’s really not that good, and so soft stuff gets in.
Hartnell woke up. he played like absolute crap all year, and then it’s like he took a magic pill and played like a man in the playoffs
the D is still shaky with the puck. at one point in the final game they started that hand grenade hockey, which makes me scream. they were out of earshot, so i don’t think it did any good.

now we’ve lost 6 Cup Finals in a row.

With my discovery of the World Junior tourney at New Year’s, the Olympics, and a deep run by the Flyers – this has been an incredible season!! at least the kids beat the Canadien kids for the Junior’s title. oh, hershey is tied 2-2 in the AHL finals v Texas. all in all with the last East reps in the Cup finals being the ‘guins, the ‘guins, and the Flyers, and the Bears going back to back in the AHL finals, it’s a pretty good time to be a hockey fan in Penna.

of course almost all the players are imported, but what can you do? kids here are brought up to play football and baseball – rinks are not commonplace, fields and backstops are. so be it.

been locked in the studio . . .

of my own doing. been mixing blues band tracks practically every chance i got recently. still not finished.

rock band practice on friday, blues gig saturday – plenty of banging going on.

time to go grab the mail . . .
