Monday Morning Musings, New Orleans Is Still Rocking Edition

Howdy partners.

Welcome to the work week. If you were lucky enough to have the weekend off I hope that you enjoyed it. No hard feelings.

Big ups to E-ve for the text I got in the middle of the night. No reason, just a text that made me smile this morning. She really is the awesome.

I also smiled big yesterday when Heath told me that he saw Roy Halladay the other night after he left the bar (Heath not Doc). I love that dude so it was huge. Heath also met Cabbie at the airport last spring on his way to Ottawa. I think I need to hang out with Heath more often so that I can see all of these people.

Quick note: People are going to let you down from time to time. It’s not a reflection of you; it is a reflection of those people. It is how you choose to deal with it that reflects you as a person.

Huge win for the Toronto Raptors last night at home against the defending NBA champions the Los Angeles Lakers. The home town boys won 106-105 on 2 free throws made by Hedu Turkoglu with 1.2 seconds left in the game. I was nervous down the stretch and flipping TV channels back and forth with the NFL play-offs at the same time. What a night in sports.

Turns out that I could be an NFL expert as I did pick the Colts and Saints to meet in the Super Bowl. Even though both teams were down at points during the game, they both found a way to come back and make it to the big game.

The Saints continue to be a great story as the city of New Orleans rebuilds itself after Katrina. Having the pride that they do in a team that has been amazing is a great reminder of the human spirit and also how sports can be bigger than just a game on Sunday.

Rumour is that http://www.msn.ca/ has some behind the scenes something or other on the new Rihanna photo shoot.

I watched most of Chuck last night as the football game overlapped it a little bit due to the over time session. I won’t divulge and secrets or endings, but I was entertained. New characters are always fun, and story lines continue to evolve 5 episodes in to the season. It will be on again tonight for people that were too busy or distracted for the show last night.

The skies have cleared after lots of rain this morning. There are reports that it may rain some more, but the temperature is supposed to dip back below freezing so I’m not sure what will happen.

Talked to Mommy Z on the phone last night. Turns out that she loved Transformers 2 which surprised me a little bit. And she’s cool with the idea of E-ve and I coming to visit for Family Day in February.

I think that’s all for today friends. Have a great one.

Like wham!
