It is what it is!!!

So here I am on a Sunday night about to ramble on about the things that I find interesting tonight. Some of this might make sense to some of the people that read my ramblings. I daresay however that most of this will be gobbledygook to most. Anwways here I am about to ramble as Mr. Plant said way back when. Just in case you didn't know the lyric went "ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song."

In the late afternoon Jackie and I went on what the Scots call a walkabout in downtown Greenville. This town is pretty dang weird on late Sunday afternoons. Half of the places we passed had the lights out denoting the fact that Sundays are not revenue producing days I guess. Being a finance person of sorts I kind of find that hard to believe. I am pretty sure that if you advertise properly your place of business in downtown Greenville would be doing some decent numbers on most Sundays. I think that there are now enough of us northerners here now to give you a viable reason to open the doors.

There were several places that we passed by earlier tonight that I think all they need is some decent marketing and they would be generating $$$ on Sundays. I think if you give the people a reason to be in or to come to downtown G'ville on a Sunday you almost have a license to print greenbacks. I volunteered 3 weeks ago at "Fall for Greenville" on a Sunday and I know what I speak of in this case I believe.

Nevertheless Red and I stopped at "Spill the Beans" for a great cup of coffee. (P.S.Don't forget your Biscotti tomorrow Babe!) We then walked across the bridge and Red offered her picture taking services for a couple of lovebirds with their really, really cute daughter. We then visited with my relatives from way up north. Okay they were only Canadian geese but nevertheless it was nice seeing some ex-pats around. Smiles.

Anyways we ended up at a great sushi place afterwards on the corner of N. Main St. called Sushi Koji. We had been there before with two couples and had a great meal as well as a great time. Tonight Jackie (aka Red) and I stopped in on our own and sat at the sushi bar. It was great seeing the artistry in making and serving a sushi roll. Jackie had a few laughs watching me trying to add wasabi to my roll of choice. Using chopsticks is definitely not my forte. Then again until about a year ago I had never ever tried to use them as a utensil to eat with. LOL. Laughing at my usage of chopsticks and using the word with to end a sentence. LOL.

Gonna continue this later...

2nd Line Winger

So here I am keeping up with my Habs from about 900 miles south of Montreal and wondering why Jacques Martin is so worried about the lack of production from the 2nd line as well as who will end up being be the 3rd player on the Gionta-Gomez line. Okay this line hasn't exactly lit up the opponents' net at this point but the team is still at 5-2-1 which is pretty darn good. Good enough for 1st in the Northeast Division!

All in all Gionta is getting the opportunities as he is leading the team in shots on goal. They just haven't found the back of the net. Whereas Gomez has 3 points so far in 8 games. Okay they aren't exactly lights out but there is still another 70+ games to go. Relax. We're 5-2-1 after all.

The article I read that led to this blog came from the Montreal Gazette and in it they mention that Jacques Martin has tried Benoit Pouliot, Matthieu Darche, Travis Moen and last but not least Tom Pyatt on this line. Nothing against these guys; they bring their lunch buckets to the rink on a consistent basis. They're just not 2nd line players at this stage of their careers. That's okay. We're winning. No reason to panic. I know that the latter three don't have much of a history with Gionta-Gomez. Let us see how they gel. It is only 8 games after all and we are doing pretty well considering that we are still missing one of our most talented players in Andre Markov.

Here's an idea! Do we have someone on the roster that has a last name that starts with the letter G? We could have the GGG line! The triple G line! We could call that line the "Go Get Goals" line! Darn it! The only other G-Men on the team are Gill and Gorges. Let's get Monty Hall on the line. It is time to "let's make a deal". Okay I am being a wee bit sarcastic here. The point is we have 11 points out of 16. As Frankie said in the 80s.....Relax

Gawd Politics

One of my favorite topics that I used to blog about in my prolific days on MySpace was that "inspiration" from Wasilla, Alaska. If I use quotations; that typically means that I am being sarcastic and in this instance I am definitely being sarcastic.

Honest to Gawd! Is this the best that the Repugnants can come up with? This non-original "thinker" from up north? You betcha!!! WTF! Dumbing down of the political process is primarily the only dang thing she can do. In the year 2010 all that she can come up with is describing her like-minded "thinkers" as "wonderful, pleasant, gracious, nice, hard-working mama grizzlies who are wanting to turn this country around." What the heck does a grizzly bear have to do with any of this. Geezus. Can you even come up with a proper noun for your "friends"? Grizzlies? Weren't those the animals that you went shooting from a helicopter in the last election cycle with your 'Einstein" of a hubby? This is how you describe your "friends". Thank goodness you didn't have to name the states where they're running or from.

Maybe you should stick to "tweeting." You're less of an embarrassment when you are limited to 160 characters or less. Unless of course you bring up the endorsement of someone that you like. You like so much that you can't get the state right. LOL. Geezus! Pennsylania! West Virginia!

You betcha!!!

Lazy Dazy Saturdazy!

Well it is the middle of the afternoon and I have yet to be productive today. It may be the result of having a bit too much grape last night.

I am meandering on whether or not I should go to Costco or to Walmart and get some groceries or better yet put if off 'til tomorrow. As I am typing I am listening to some of my faves on YouTube. Right now it is Chilliwack's "Fly By Night". A great tune. Nice guitars and some amazing drumwork.
