so this is what sleep feels like...

 i got my usual 4 hours of sleep last night. but, this time, i got it all at once. i didn't wake up every 45 minutes or so. amazingly, i actually felt refreshed waking up this morning. what a concept.

so, i lost 2 sweet sixteen teams yesterday. if that is all i lose and i get 14 of the 16 right, i will be happy. i doubt i will get that lucky today.

the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at Chattanooga, 87-72. that ends the college careers of 5 players. who knows how many transfer out or in. i just know the team will look different next season.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at home over Vancouver, 5-3.

i did watch plenty of college basketball yesterday.

AEW Collision was ok last night. part 2 is on tonight.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Americas, AEW Collision, The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Yellowjackets.

the USMNT plays tonight against Canada in the 3rd place game of the Concacaf Nations League.

 we have a wicked cold front getting ready to come through here tonight. it was in the 60's today. they just said on the weather that it won't make it to the 40's tomorrow. good times.

grocery shopping went pretty well today. my pinched nerve didn't fuck with me too much. now, when i got home and mom was still asleep... that was when my pinched nerve decided to be an asshole. but, i got all the groceries in and put away. i got mom a Pecan Snickers bar when i was in the checkout lane. i figured when i saw that she was still asleep, she would eat it for her breakfast at 4 in the afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Calgary, 2-1. if they are going to play like that the rest of the season, they will not make the playoffs.

i did watch some of both games of the First Four last night. Alabama State won with a crazy fucking ending. North Carolina beat the piss out of San Diego St.

tonight, Mount St. Mary's plays American and Xavier plays Texas.

finally got to turn the furnace off...

 i told mom last night that when she got up today, i would turn the furnace off and open up the house. as usual, she can't remember these conversations. so, when she finally got out of bed at 2 PM today, she was surprised the house was still closed up and i was napping in my massage chair. she thought i would just open the house this morning. i said i would have, but when i talked to you at 10 AM, you said you were cold. i just imagine what her life would be like if i didn't have any patience left.

the New York Rangers won last night at Minnesota, 3-2, in OT. 

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.

i did write a poem last night about the blood moon. well, sort of about it. i was hoping to write more but only the one poem came to me.

not the Friday i was hoping for...

 and i'm not talking about the NHL trade deadline with the subject heading, more on that later. no, i'm talking about my trip to Kroger today. they texted me yesterday to tell me my Jardiance was ready to pick up at $242.50. the last two times i got it, it was $45. so, i did my due diligence and tried to find a way to get it cheaper. so, i thought i found something going through GoodRx, and filled out the form and got a card, etc. so, i showed that at the pharmacy today and the lady told me they weren't accepting this, you're not in the system. this is the exact fucking reason why i wanted Obama when he changed the healthcare in this country to cut out the fucking insurance companies completely. there is no fucking reason on earth i should pay $242.50 for a medicine that i paid $45 for a month ago. what is the fucking point of having insurance. as i told my mother when i got home, all this truly is is further proof of why it is more cost effective to die than live. they wonder why there are so many fucking suicides... so, i really hope my bets hit tonight as i need the fucking money now. not how i was hoping any of this was going to go.

now, for the trade deadline. i was hoping the Rangers might make a stunner today, but wasn't expecting one. they did make a trade last night after i got the blog done. as for today, they made a minor trade with Buffalo. there was some big trades today, mostly involving Boston, Dallas, Florida, etc.

now comes the sprint to the playoffs.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty good last night.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at VCU. if Dayton wins, they will get a double bye in the A10 tournament and be the 3 seed. if they lose, who knows. but, if they lose, i'm hoping they do so by less than 9 points, if you know what i mean.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before the New York Rangers play in the afternoon.

i have no clue what i am making for dinner tonight.

i do know, i need to vacuum the house, so i'll be doing that after i get this done.

i didn't get any writing done last night. apparently, my lack of sleep over the last 35 years or so is catching up with me. my arthritis was raging last night and apparently, my massage chair was too good for me to get up from. that being said, i do have at least one poem swimming in my head that i need to get down on paper soon.

 i'm going to start this blog off with the WWE Elimination Chamber from last night. i was pleasantly shocked that the whole show was better than i was expecting. of course, what everyone is talking about now is John Cena finally turning heel. teaming with the Rock to destroy Cody Rhodes was not on my bingo card. as one person put it last night, the road to WrestleMania just went from 0 to 100 pretty fucking fast.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Richmond, 74-64, in 2 OT.

the New York Rangers made a trade yesterday with Colorado. the Rangers will play later tonight at home against Nashville.
