Mid April Monday Morning Musings

Welcome to your new week my friends. As we’ve said in the past, if you have today off… we can’t be friends.

I hope that everyone enjoyed their weekends, long or otherwise. And that if the chance was there you were able to spend time with your family.

Big shout-outs today to Ray Luebbert. Ray commented on our Ode to Chuck on www.hotpinkgeek.com

I very much appreciate the feedback that Ray offered and hope that many other people will hit the website to see the Wally Z pieces and the pieces posted by other people as well. The only thing that I feel I have to say today is with regards to hate speech. I don’t like it. It’s not cool. Ray had a little rant about Jocks. He mentioned that they work in convenience stores, drink cheap whiskey, live in trailer parks, beat their wives and lose at life. Now, I’m not sure what the back story is, and I don’t know Ray, so let’s assume that we like him, he’s good people if he likes to visit the website. But talk like that breeds further resentment and hate and prejudice and overall bad feelings. I know that kids are mean, they say and do things to impress other people, to fit in, to be cool and they hurt other people to do it more often than anyone likes to admit. But as grown-ups it’s our job to forgive or move on or just be the bigger person. That’s all. Thank you for indulging me and my soap box sermon.

Top spot at the box office goes to (drum roll please) Hannah Montana: The Movie. Hannah grossed $34 million over the weekend to wrestle top spot from Fast & Furious by a narrow $5.2 million.

Breaking news: The Obama’s have a dog! Bo, the 6 month old Portuguese Water Dog will from now on be calling the White House home. Big thanks to Sen. Ted Kennedy for the Easter gift of the puppy.

The NHL playoff series are set. Mes Canadiens will face the Eastern Conference top seed Boston Bruins in an Original 6 battle that I can’t wait to see. My apologies to E-ve ahead of time as we are now into the second week of the Major League Baseball season, the NHL playoffs are ready to begin and the weather is getting nice. I hope to schedule a walk or two in the sunny city. Everyone can win.

Side note: Good luck to E-ve and everyone else writing exams this week. Big ups to my mom as she writes her final exam tonight on the way to her Degree. Felicitations mama!

Side note II: I love iTunes streaming radio. Good times for sure, great mixes, and all of my favourite hits from the 90’s!

Side note III: This is the first 13th of the month since January that hasn't been on a Friday!

It’s Monday and that means awesome prime time TV. I’m worried that I may have to sacrifice House for the baseball game and watch Chuck and Heroes on time shifting while catching bits and pieces of How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory on commercials. My remote is going to get a work out and I’m going to try not to fall asleep or get story lines crossed.

I think that’s all for today my friends. Again thanks to everyone for reading, and also for passing on positive thoughts.

Spring brings with it new life and hope from the dark and gloomy days of winter.
