10 degrees and rising

Well it is 11am and the old thermometer is passing through 10 degrees on its way to 16. What does that mean? Well if you would give me a second, I will tell you. It means that at exactly 12:01, when my lunch break begins I am gonna scoot off to the driving range and enjoy wacking off a large basket of balls. I was able to get to the range over the long weekend, and as usual, my irons are working perfectly, but my damn driver is still not doing its name any justice. I am not sure when I will be able to get out for my first game of golf, but the front nine at Shaggannappi is open, and it only costs 18 bucks, so maybe, if I am lucky, I will head out next weekend.

On the hockey front the regular season is over, and the playoffs begin on Friday. Edmonton will be facing Detroit in the first round, and Calgary against the Mighty Ducks. Now everyone is saying that Calgary is gonna breeze through the first round, and that Edmonton is going to get swept. I must say I dont see this happening. Edmonton split their regular season games with Detroit this year. I know the playoffs are different, but I also know that even if you dont think the Oilers belong in the playoffs, they are none-the-less there, and I think they are gonna slug out a pretty interesting series. I say it is gonna be close, but Edmonton has an outside chance of getting through. Calgary on the other hand have had a great season, but from what I hear they have only won one game out of the past 13 away to the Ducks. And as we all know, the playoffs get split pretty evenly between home and away. I am pretty confident that they will do ok in Calgary, but unless they fix up that away stat, I have to say that they are bigger underdogs going into the first round than Edmonton. But then again. I know about as much about Hockey as Tappers knows about sobriety. LOL.

Not much else to report. I started tanning again over the weekend, to ensure I dont get a burn this summer (it sucks being a redhead). There was a new girl working at Fabutan last night and she was, lets say "meow beautiful". So I dont think it will be hard to remember to go tanning every night for the next bit. I still have to get back into the gym. As always I put it off until May and then I dont reach my goals till September, which sucks because I usually stop working out in October lol. I think the whole process revolves around the T-shirt wearing season. Sweaters can do wonders for a fat bastard like me. But I will do my best to start thinking about my Belly here, before it is too late and I am unable to walk down 17th for fear of taking up too much of the sidewalk.

And with all that said, I bid you adieu
