Sunday Morning Musings, It's Still Morning On The West Coast Edition

Hey there my friends.

Happy Sunday. I hope that you’re all relaxed and happy and rested and such.

Big love to E-ve who is battling a little “morning after” syndrome before she starts working the lunch shift. If you’re in her section today please try to keep the noise down as you enjoy your lunch and remember to tip big and smile lots.

And big smiles for E-ve as her Maple Leafs look like they just shook things up like crazy. The Buds have picked up former EA Sports cover boy Dion Phaneuf from the Flames. There are 2 other players coming to Toronto with the big hitting defenseman, forward Fredrik Sjostrom and forward Keith Aulie. The Leafs didn’t steal the 3 players though. Leaf fans will be saying their goodbyes to forwards Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman and Jamal Mayers and defenseman Ian White.

A 2nd report says that Toronto is also super close to pulling the trigger on a goaltending trade with the Anaheim Ducks. The Maple Leafs, who haven’t had a top flight goalie in a long time would welcome 2002-03 Conn Smythe Trophy winner J.S. Giguere from the Ducks and would finally stop the bleeding that has come along with the Vesa Toskala experiment. This trade hangs on approval from Giguere as he has a no-trade clause in his contract.

Last night was another at home adventure in the kitchen. Skipping lunch left me with a huge hunger. So my pasta, tuna, veggie casserole was a nice end to the day. The spinach laced tomato sauce was quite tasty and the grated cheese on top just before it went in the oven was a great touch. Go team me.

Tonight is Grammy night. I hope that you’re all ready for lots of singing and dancing and pretty dresses and maybe a scandal or two. I am.

Side note: Dear internet, I think that I would like new books for my birthday.

High fives to Jake and Romeo who I am sure did a great job watching the twins yesterday.

Word is that the J.S Giguere trade is done with Toskala and forward Jason Blake going to Anaheim.

The Raptors start a home and home series with the Indiana Pacers tonight at the ACC. The home town boys are rolling as of late. We are now 3 games over .500 and on a 4 game win streak. These 2 games are winnable for the Raps and much needed in the standings. Go Raps Go.

iTunes radio is a great way to get some sound into the store with the TV broken. Thank goodness for the internet.

I tweeted this yesterday, but I really meant to get it in the blog, January 29th was the 1st anniversary of the New Morning Musings. I would like to thank everyone that has stopped by, even once to read and support my rambling. And to E-ve and Jake and Romeo and Heath and Julia special thanks for being in the Muse more often than most.

I think that’s all for today mes amis.

From me and my Batman belt buckle to you and yours, have a great Sunday.

Like wham!
