I hope Florida makes it rather than the Bolts. Nashville might be a spoiler but pretty much agree with your picks.

Yeah I'd run away too... Let's not bring dumb ass into the conversation

To each his own, it's obnoxious and dumb. They have one of the weirdest play by play announcers too, like nails on a chalkboard.

Actually have been listening to Hell is Empty this week, forgot what a wild ride it is. Longmire chasing a group of escaped prisoners through a snowstorm in Wyoming, intense.

If you read my comment, I make it clear I don't trust Ryan Smith to do right by a hockey team. His first priority is the Jazz and getting a new arena paid for. I don't trust him and won't be buying season tickets. Avs are my team and if I do go to any games, I'll wear their jersey. Especially if they choose something stupid like Yeti..

Feeling a bit concerned, Avs have had some serious lapses and lost some key games. Will be playing Winnipeg in the first round and that's not looking so good. Just hope they manage to finish on a win Thursday. On other news, not sure what the hell is going on with the NHL, going to send the Coyotes to SLC?? As much as I would love to have an NHL team near me, this has me feeling skeptical. After all, the owner of the Utah Jazz will be involved, what could go wrong? Oh, how about getting a new arena built then selling the team as soon as your tax write offs expire. Yeah that happened once before so I wonder what do we not know about this deal? Stay tuned I guess.

Sorry I missed it...hope it was a happy one! Best wishes Always

Sitting in the sun reading is one of life's pleasures for me. My previous house had window to the west I enjoyed laying on the carpet reading the Sunday paper there. Got a rocking chair and would sit there to read, often with a kitty in my lap. Heaven

If there is any justice, the Goldman family will be able to attach his estate. What a travesty of the legal system, has lead to the circus around 45's trials today.

You are doing better than me, I am struggling to read much. I think there are so many distractions that take me away from my reading, podcasts being the big one. But this time of year I had always had a slump in my reading with hockey playoffs taking a big chunk out of my reading time in April through June but this year I can't seem to read much. I even stalled out on Geddy's book, hoping I can break out of it soon. Going to try my usual fix, re-reading a book I like and that can spur me back into reading. Going back to Longmire, I had started a re-read of the series awhile back. Hell is Empty is the title.

McDavid is currently in third place and he's won it several times before. I really hope MacKinnon gets it because he has taken his play to another level this year.

Avs had a much better night, 5-2 over the Wild. MacKinnon got a hat trick, first time he has 50 goals in a season (with the 3rd goal it is 51). With an assist on another goal, he is closer to Kucherov in the Hart race with 137 points. Makar had 3 assists and a goal as well. This is more like the Avs I love

Feeling very sad for my brother today. His cat Garfield was put to sleep Sunday. She (yes, a girl..there's a funny story there) had been losing weight for a week or so and I took them to the vet Thursday. Seems she had a blockage and wasn't getting much nourishment from her food, and even if they did surgery the prognosis wasn't good. He took her home Friday to have time with her over the weekend. Losing a pet is always traumatic but for him, it has been devastating. He lives alone and she was his little buddy and companion. Going to be difficult to come home to a truly empty house now. My heart just hurts for him.

Ugh, Paxlovid is the worst tasting medicine ever...if that was the criteria of how well it works then it's a home run.

What's really eerie is to go up to Montana and see Earthquake lake. All the trees around it are dead with a high water line showing how deep it got after the quake.

Avs struggling and now Rantenen is out on concussion protocol after lousy hit by Edmonton. We beat Dallas 3 times this year but yesterday was not our day.

Only about 60% totality expected here but right now, lots of cloud cover, and the temperature has dropped. I got to see the partial in 2017 so it's ok if the weather doesn't cooperate. Update, sun is out so I could see it, with my eclipse glasses. Looks like a Pac Man took a bite out of it.

No supposedly, they have had some rough ones. Last two were 7.1 and 6.5. We had a 5.7 in 2020, we are on a big fault on the Wasatch. It can be very unsettling to be sure.

There was some bad blood over the last two games with these teams. Rempe made some bad hits and served a suspension. Refs wouldn't let them fight the last game they played so it was expected they would duke it out at the beginning. Just didn't expect everyone to go at it.

Fights will always be a part of the game, period. The league has been actively working to lower the incidence of them. I've been a fan since the 70's and they have dropped off dramatically from the games I've watched. Personally I am glad we don't have these types of brawls as much because the game is so much more fun to watch with all the great scoring and passing. But sometimes there are cases for payback and this was supposed to be between just two guys and it blew up. These teams have a big rivalry so guess it just happened.

McDermott gave Rempe a good fight. This was crazy, everyone expected this fight but the whole group???

Saturday's game with Nashville much better in the 2nd period, started hitting back and the comeback was on. Have 26 so far this year. MacKinnon got 4 points so he's ahead in the points again. 7-4 Avs win! p.s game with Rangers was exciting, just came up short. Enjoyed this game much more

Yes, a very Happy Birthday to you!

Agreed RIP
