nothing like waking up to snow in spring

it's been freezing all day long, so i've got a few more links to share for your national poetry month goodies:

we didn't get much snow, probably around an inch or so, but fuck, it was 80 degrees two days ago. fucking crazy. and two days from now it's supposed to be back in the 60's. that's why i tell any doctor to move to Ohio. everyone gets sick every few days.

found out when my mother's surgery is on Thursday. not too early and we should be home at a decent hour. that's all music to my ears so far.

i did catch Monday Night Raw last night. i thought it was a good mix of tribute to the Ultimate Warrior and action as well. not sure if i like Evolution coming back or not. i suppose if they do it correctly, it could work in giving the younger guys the legit feel to the fans that still think it's real.

i also caught most of The Voice last night. team Shakira and Adam had to be whittled down to 3 each last night. i think Shakira picked the right 3 but as usual, Adam did not. he still hasn't figured out after all these seasons that one trick ponies don't last when America starts voting. team Usher goes tonight and next week starts the live shows i do believe.

since the Yankees are rained out tonight (day night doubleheader tomorrow), i figure after the sitcoms after The Voice i will be checking out Fargo on FX. it looks really good.

my chair got fixed today. took the guy less than 20 minutes. just a bad bolt that needed to be replaced. i really appreciated it as i had a wonderful nap in it this afternoon.

the NHL playoffs start tomorrow for some teams. the New York Rangers start on Thursday. thank god i don't believe in getting good sleep. plus, say goodbye to shaving. nothing quite like mowing grass in the heat with a big filthy beard because your hockey team has gone on a deep playoff run. good times.

hope this finds everyone well. sorry no pictures of the snow. by the time i got outside most of it had melted. especially right around the house and the flowers. so much for that moment of creativity.

i'll be on here tomorrow between baseball games. be well my bitches...
