All Quiet… For Now

Despite the weirdness of my previous post, the potentially odd omen of the cat in the sink has not foretold of anything weird happening today… so far, at least.

It’s been a quiet day so far. I’m just getting off of my lunch break so there is still plenty of time for things to go south. I mean, the president placed tariffs on penguins yesterday so… yeah. Anything is possible at any time.

The Red Sox have won two in a row and their home opener (against the Cardinals) is about to start. The Bruins have now lost 10 in a row (one of them in overtime, the rest in regulation). I don’t know what to think. I will focus on the positive trend for the Sox and listen to today’s game while I work. They are 3-4 on the season. It’s too early to worry about things like the American League East standings, but they are currently tied for last place (with Baltimore), two games back of the first place Blue Jays. At least Geddy Lee will be happy.

The kids are coming home tonight. We thought they were coming home last night but there was some miscommunication. Last night’s loss is tonight’s gain. They will be here tonight, go to their father’s sometime tomorrow, and then I think come back here afterward. Then Sunday they will go back to Vermont. I am very happy we’ll get to see them. Very happy.

Okay, it’s 2:00pm now. Time to get back to work. Talk to you all later. Until then, remember that donald trump is a nazi who can’t do math. Loser.

Happy Thoughts

On a day where I have been in a shitty the-world-is-about-to-end mood, how about a touch of good news?

My Boston Bruins had lost six games in a row before squeaking out an overtime win on Saturday. Tonight (and this is the good news) they are kicking the crap out of the Tampa Bay Lightning and it is glorious. Well… it’s not really that glorious, it’s just that after losing six in a row having a nice lead over anyone is pretty cool. It’s 4-1 with five minutes left in the second. There is still plenty of time for the Bruins to blow it. For now though, let’s enjoy the lead.

Look at me doing all that looking on the bright side shit and stuff.
