Another week

STARS are down 2:0 with game 3 tonight starting at 8:30pm.  So late night and early work day on WE.  Allen Americans are tied 1:1 with the Quad City Ducks.  So lots of hockey in Big R.  "Marianela" at MBS productions very interesting in TH.  If interested in story line the website MBS productions has the synopsis.  Play very interesting and one of the better ones recently.  Bike riding over the weekend good weather for it also.  Beginning to be TX weather again.

Hockey Time

STARS made the playoffs for the first time in 5-6 years YEAH but then so did the DEAD Wings.  The Allen Americans won the first round in their playoff series so they are waiting for the next ground opponent.  Houston was fine and got enuff CE for the year and will go the TSHP seminar next year in San Antonio.  Taxes filed whew.  Back to work TU.  Dust Bunny had a visiting sitter for the time I was gone and she was happy to see me after 4 days.  That is all for this week.

Busy week

Allen Americans (CHL) won both games WE,TH now off to Bramton Canada for 3 games and hopefully not back for more games ( if they don't come back that means they have moved on in the playoffs).  Then the Tockadero Ballet (look them up on the web). A comedy ballet (all male troupe--all classically trained! from all over the world). See them every time they get within driving distance of Big R.  Off to Houston for my CE for the year TH-SU.  So busy week.

Another Week

Allen Americans in the CHL playoffs starting WE.  Yeah. And now to wait for the STARS to hopefully make it to the playoffs.  Bike riding this week end first time (almost) this year.  37 mi SA 2nd longest ride of the year and the 27 on SU.  Did have a crash (not me-a visitor from Lake Tahoe) got caught in a crack and broke his collar bone.  Took him (a passer by) to the ER.  Went back to Tahoe later in the day with a sling and drugs.  Off to work tomorrow BOOO!,!

Whew!!

Americans hockey is winding? down.  Three more regular season games WE,FR,SA and the off to the playoffs.  So not over yet.  Stars might make it to the playoffs just like the Dead Wings.  Busy every day/night this week I need a rest.  No bike riding again as weather is rainy and cold and I am not ready to risk broken bones in slick streets (As I tell every one I am not training for any race etc and need to get out in the bad weather.)

Another Week

Lots of bad weather for bike riding so none the past 2 weeks.  However still hockey going on - some winning and sometimes the other team gets lucky.  One of the theaters is town (Water Tower) has their Out Of The Loop festival which offers new plays.  Normally about an hour each.  Saw one per night (when not at a hockey game) and 2-3 on SA and SU.  About 10 during the last week.  All theaters out for a while.  One of the interesting was by one of Ray Charles' back up singers.  Good music and Ray Charles was not a "good" person when relating to the singers.  I'm resting until TU and then back to work (one day of rest). Retirement is wonderful.

Booorrring!!!

It is 16 outside now and no bike riding SU.  32 in the am on SU and temp fell all day long.  Snow - a whopping 1/4 inch with about 1/4 inch of ice.  Will warm up to 32 today!  Did do 2 hockey games on SA.  A 2pm STARS game and a 7:05pm game at Allen Americans.  STARS vs the Buffaloons tonight at 7pm so hopefully the ice will be gone enuff to go.  Happy to have a front wheel drive vehicle.
Other than that, just more of the usual.
