got up early today for no reason once again. our contractor called this morning and said he couldn't make it after telling us last night he was going to be here early today. joy. so, i told mom fuck it, i'm going back to bed, which i eventually did. i've been trying to get as much rest as i can here lately as i know i have a long ass drive to make Thursday to take mom to a doctor's appointment. and considering how she doesn't do well in car rides, i'm not looking forward to it. so, i figured, i better be well rested when making the drive so i'm not on a short fuse. good times.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against the Kings, 5-2. they have been playing with less players recently, trying to open up the cap space to make a trade for Patrick Kane. i'm really hoping that they get Kane, but i am also hoping this shit ends soon. the trade deadline is Friday afternoon.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
Your Honor was very good last night.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Boston.
arthritis is kicking my ass today.
the bathroom remodel is coming along. i believe they are going to start on the shower tomorrow. the new floor is in and it looks great.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i did listen to episode 436 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can hear that by going here:
Manchester United has finally won another trophy. it had been nearly 6 years since they had won anything. and given that this day is the anniversary of my stepfather dying 21 years ago, i am really, really happy they won the League Cup today over Newcastle, 2-0.

the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at home to George Mason, 74-69. Dayton played like shit for most of the game and what usually happens in one of these games, they played down to their competition yet again. they never took advantage of George Mason having their best player in foul trouble. Dayton missed way too many free throws and had way too many turnovers in crucial moments of the game. this also brings me back to the point i have always made about Anthony Grant. he isn't the type of coach that knows how to have his players take absolute control of a game when it is there to be taken. sadly, there is a time as an athlete where you have to have the mentality of stepping on a neck and eliminating any hope. it has been 6 years and Dayton still doesn't have that ability. and don't get me started about when Anthony Grant coaches against other black coaches, especially the ones that look up to him and respect him. just because you are admired doesn't mean you aren't allowed to beat them by 20 or 30 points. they play LaSalle on Tuesday. if they don't win that game, that means they will have to win at Saint Louis to secure the double bye in the A10 tournament.
i did watch plenty of the MLS games last night. i love the MLS 360 on Apple TV. that should do wonders for the viewing experience for the league.
the New York Rangers lost at Washington yesterday, 6-3. they play tonight at home against the Kings.
the New York Knicks won last night at home against New Orleans, 128-106.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
Saturday Night Live was very funny last night.
The Weeknd: Live at Sofi Stadium was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Your Honor, The Last of Us and Last Week Tonight.
i'm sure i will watch some college basketball and lord knows what else later today.
i need to order some Pizza Hut as that is the victory meal for Manchester United winning the League Cup today.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday is even better.

so, i got up early this morning to make sure i was up when the contractor was supposed to be here. i got mom up early as well. the contractor called and said he would be late, that he had to stop at the office, etc. and then we got a call around noon with him saying he wouldn't make it out today and he will see us on Monday. so yeah, today as just felt like a fucking waste.

i was up early this morning, to make sure i would be wide awake when the electrician got here. they got what they needed to get done before we had to leave for mom's appointment at the foot doctor. we got there a little early and everything went pretty smoothly. mom wanted some Wendy's after her appointment, so we went through the drive-thru and took the food home. we were done with lunch by the time Manchester United was taking on Barcelona.
when Barcelona went up 1-0 in the first half, i wasn't happy, but i wasn't afraid either. the one thing ETH has done for this club is once again instill the belief that borders on fucking arrogance that United will always come back. sure enough, Fred scored in the first two minutes of the second half. Antony scored with about 20 minutes to go and United won, 2-1. that means they will advance to the final 16 of the Europa League. they knocked out Barcelona, 4-3 on aggregate. now, they have a cup final on Sunday that could bring the first trophy to the club in 5 years. i can't fucking wait.

i'm not sure what i am making for dinner tonight. i know my audible to add some peppers to some pulled pork for sandwiches last night was a good call. mom seemed to really enjoy it.
gambling went pretty well last night. i did nail one college basketball parlay. hopefully, tonight will be even better.
i will probably be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.
the weather is supposed to take another turn as i know there is the chance of snow flurries at some point. i mean, it was only 70 degrees today and i was out in shorts. so, of course it would fucking snow the very next day. it is Ohio after all.

it feels like i have been going since i woke up at 8:45 this morning. i took mom to her dental appointment that lasted for almost 2 1/2 hours. while in the waiting room, i wrote 6 poems and made 2 hockey bets. (more on the gambling later). after she was done, we went to Arby's for lunch. i watched a little of the Champions League and then typed up the 6 poems i wrote. i think they are pretty good. one i think is damn good. after i got those typed up, i went to go get a haircut. first time i ever got my hair cut by an Asian woman. i'm not sure how much English she spoke, but she did like the $10 tip on a $18 haircut.

i had a really good day gambling yesterday, right up until the NBA All Star game. i picked the wrong player to score 20 points and now it seems my mojo is fucked. i did make over $100 yesterday, so that was good. i will hopefully make a little money tonight, although my NHL picks today are punching me in the dick. at least i do adhere to my one rule of gambling, only wager what you are willing to lose.

i didn't get to bed until 5 AM this morning. so, i missed the start of the Manchester United game. when i finally did wake up, United was up 1-0 at halftime. i did watch the entire second half. Rashford scored twice today and Sancho added the third goal. United won 3-0. another clean sheet for David de Gea. i believe that ties the club record for that. next up will be the second leg against Barcelona on Thursday.
