even forever has an expiration date

i had heard the rumors. but, i've been hearing the rumors for the last decade. but these rumors were coming from sources that i have always held in the highest regard. so, i was not shocked at all when i woke up this morning to see that the Sir Alex Ferguson retirement news was made official. a little teary eyed and gutted but not shocked. he's the only manager i have known in all my years of being a Manchester United fan. i feel sorry for whomever has to replace him.

the rain last night has prevented me from mowing today. and seeing that it's supposed to rain on and off for the next 4 days, i might as well get ready to basically cut the grass twice when it gets dry enough to mow.

the Yankees stunk once again last night. 4 damn hits. hard to win anything with only 4 singles. they play again tonight but i doubt i will be watching much of it.

i did catch just about all of The Voice last night. both teams from Shakira and Blake are excellent. this is easily the most talent they have had out of all the seasons so far. the first eliminations are tonight. i know who i want gone, no one from team Adam, no one from team Blake, no one from team Shakira, and everyone but Michelle from team Usher. sadly, it won't work out that way.

the New York Rangers play a HUGE game 4 tonight at home. this is a MUST WIN game, not only to get the series back to 2-2, but to put a little doubt in the heads of Washington. the 6 times they have gone up 2-0 in a series, they have lost 4 of them. i'm all for making it 5. that can happen if they win tonight. i'm hearing Clowe might make his return tonight. god willing.

hope everyone has a great day. mine has been a bit more reflective than i wished.
