before another round of storms...

 i was saddened last night when i saw that Val Kilmer had died. one of those sneaky actors that could do anything and was in so many of my favorite movies.

as for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees lost last night at home to Arizona, 7-5. hopefully, they will win tonight.

NXT was very good last night.

St. Denis Medical was pretty funny last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was crazy last night.

on the DVR tonight (weather permitting) will be AEW Dynamite, Abbott Elementary and The Masked Singer.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Minnesota.

the grocery shopping went well today. i saved over $50 on what i got. that always makes mom happy. the pharmacy has my new insurance in the system, so i'm hoping that will help with the prices.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to the accountant to get the taxes done.

i'm hoping the weather won't be too bad tonight.

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

 so, i just got off the phone with someone at Humana. my Medicaid cards didn't show up again today. the lady told me they were mailed out on the 24th. i said when i called last week, i was told they were mailed out on the 21st. she tells me they were requested on the 21st, but mailed out on the 24th. give it a little more time. i wanted to fucking scream. so yeah, i have an appointment later today to get my blood work done. i won't be fasting like the doctor wanted. they'll get over it. i have to check in online for my doctor's appointment tomorrow. i was hoping to have my new insurance for that. and i have pills i need to pick up. fuck me.

the Yankees won yesterday, 12-3, to sweep the Brewers. they are off today and start a series tomorrow at home against Arizona.

my luck ran out yesterday on college basketball. i only got 2 of the Final Four right.

The Americas was good last night, at least what i got to see. we had storms most of the night and tornado watches and warnings.

Yellowjackets was fucking insane, as usual.

so, today was one of those days...

 i had to mail out a book today. i got everything ready and went into the garage to start the Highlander. it wouldn't start. well fuck me. so, i called AAA and they said they would give me a jump in about 90 minutes. ok. 90 minutes later, the guy was pulling up into the driveway. nicely played. he gave me a jump. said the battery looks fine, the sensors said it just needed charged, but said you should probably get a charger for here in the garage. good point. mom has ordered one from Amazon today. she went with me to the post office so i wouldn't have to turn the Highlander off. i got the book mailed and we went back home. i started the Highlander back up to get the mail before the snow started. thankfully, it started right up and was good. once that charger gets here, i'm going to make sure it stays charged, at least through the winter. the battery is like 8 years old, so i know damn well a new one is needed soon. so yeah, that was how my day started. good times.

i wrote 5 poems last night for the book. that brings that total up to 25. a few more nights like that and i'll have 40 in no time.

Notre Dame defeated Penn State, 27-24, to win their semifinal of the college football playoff last night. Texas and Ohio State plays tonight.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against the Devils, 3-2 in OT.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Bill Maher: Is Anyone Else Seeing This?

i will probably be watching the Ohio State vs. Texas game for most of the night.

i will most likely be on here early tomorrow. since there will be a ton of sports on tomorrow.

we are getting more snow right now. probably about 2 inches so far, with another 2 to come.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the last day of 2022

 i think the rain is supposed to stop by tonight. not that i'm going out to celebrate New Year's Eve or anything. those moments are light years behind me now. trying to manage my arthritis is enough excitement for me anymore.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

i did watch some college football last night:

so, the rain kept me up until 5 this morning. i didn't watch any of the Manchester United game since i didn't wake up until a little after 9. thankfully, they won over Wolves, 1-0.

 yesterday fucking sucked. no other way to put it actually, it just fucking sucked.

let me start off with the first scar of the day. Ohio State had its ass handed to them by Michigan for the second year in a row. they lost 45-23. completely fucking unacceptable. 

and then the second deep scar of the day... the New York Rangers pissed away a 3-0 lead in the 3rd period and lost to Edmonton, 4-3. 

thankfully, Survivor Series last night was really good.

The Caverns Sessions was pretty good last night.

the New Orleans Saints play today at San Francisco. i'd love to see the Saints pull off the upset today.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against Memphis.

it has been fucking raining since last night. my back feels like absolute shit right now.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. it kind of depends on how my mother feels.

it was fun while it lasted...

 so, the New York Rangers lost at Tampa last night, 2-1. the Lightning will play Colorado looking for their 3rd straight Stanley Cup. i wasn't happy that the Rangers coach broke up the kid line last night. but, the true kick in the nuts was when the Rangers tied the game at 1, the Lightning scored 21 seconds later to make it 2-1. i looked at my mother and just said i might as well get ready to shave off the playoff beard. all in all, i believe what many of the experts believe, this Rangers team was a few years ahead of schedule. i really think this loss will be the catalyst to go even farther next time. i'm just hoping it doesn't take another 7 years or so for them to get back to this. but, me being me, i will be haunted by the Game 3 collapse more than anything. they were one solid period of hockey from going up 3-0 in the series and having one foot in the Stanley Cup final. the fan in me wants Colorado to absolutely destroy Tampa. my brain believes if Colorado is willing to pay the price to win, it will be in 6 or 7 games. 

the New York Yankees hit 6 solo home runs last night and defeated the Cubs, 8-0. they will go for the sweep this afternoon.

i did watch the Belmont Stakes yesterday.

at some point today, i am hoping to go get my hair cut. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, The Man Who Fell To Earth, the season finale of Barry, the series finale of The Baby, Last Week Tonight and Gaslit.

i'm sure i'll probably watch some soccer today as well as baseball.

and i think i have some laundry to do for my mother. i'm hoping she doesn't try to do that on her own while i'm out getting a hair cut.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow...

what could have been

 the Dayton Flyers were playing good yesterday. right before halftime, their starting point guard turned his ankle. when i saw him come out on crutches for the second half, i feared what was coming next. but, the rest of the players rallied and turned an 8 point lead at halftime into a 15 point lead. and then, it seemed like reality hit them. they ran out of steam, the coaching staff didn't help them at all, and eventually, they pissed away that 15 point lead and lost to Richmond, 68-64. now, i know damn well if Malachi Smith doesn't get injured, Dayton wins that game. and to watch Richmond celebrate like they actually believe they are better than Dayton was comical to watch. i truly hope Davidson beats the shit out of them today and the A10 will be a 1 bid league.

before that debacle, i watched the Manchester United game against Tottenham. thank god for CR7. he scored a hat trick and United beat Tottenham 3-2. this was a game they desperately had to win. next up is another game they have to win on Tuesday in the Champions League.

when i turned the New York Rangers game on last night, they were losing to Dallas, 2-0. thankfully, it didn't stay that way. the Rangers won last night, 7-4.

Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.

i did remember to change the clocks last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Billions, Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER, Last Week Tonight, Game Theory with Bomani Jones, Power Book IV: Force and Shining Vale.

mom wanted chicken wings last night. the only place around that has wings she likes is Pizza Hut. so, that was what we had for dinner last night. and i imagine the rest of the pizza and wings will be either lunch or dinner tonight.

this coming week is going to be crazy. mom has an appointment for either physical therapy or her skin cancer just about everyday this week. i have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. and of course, have to do the grocery shopping on Wednesday. so, i'm going to try to get the blog done tomorrow in the morning, before i have to take mom to physical therapy.

i hope everyone had a good Saturday. here's hoping your Sunday will be even better.

 so, the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home against Carolina, 18-10. they actually scored a touchdown, their first since December 12th. the defense once again was great for the most part. the scenario to get in the playoffs is pretty easy next week. the Saints have to win at Atlanta and the 49ers have to lose to the Rams.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at home against Tampa Bay, 4-0. they play tonight at home against Edmonton.

Dexter: New Blood was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

Yellowjackets was crazy last night.

the Yankees won again last night, defeating Seattle, 5-4. they go for the sweep later this afternoon.

here are your highlights from Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final. congrats to Tampa winning two years in a row.

AEW was great last night.

Big Brother was good last night. the cast at least looks way more diverse than in the past. 

England defeated Denmark yesterday in extra time, 2-1. that means Italy will play England in the final of Euro 2020 on Sunday. this will be the first time England has made a major final since the World Cup final in 1966.

on the DVR tonight will be Desus & Mero. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.

i'm sure i will watch some of Game 2 of the NBA Finals tonight.

so, the wind blew over our tomatoes yesterday. i had just sat down to eat lunch and i heard mom shout out oh shit. of course, i thought something was wrong with her. we went outside to try to get them back up. we lost a few tomatoes in the process. mom of course, fell again, this time right into a barrel that i had next to the tomatoes for a little stability. we moved our picnic bench right up to them and put a chair on the other side of the barrel. i'm going to go out sometime in the next day or so and get some wooden stakes and twine to see if i can control them a little better. mom has never had tomatoes grow like this before. i told her Miracle-Gro today is not what it was twenty years ago.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

this light drizzle is driving me crazy. it is supposed to be storming here in a bit. i'd love to just get it over with.

oh, i got some baseball cards yesterday. 1 box from Fairfield that i got at Rite Aid for $5. i probably had close to $20 worth of cards in it. good times.
