i got some sleep...
now, it wasn't as much sleep as i needed, but i'm pretty sure i got a good 5 hours or so. i needed it after yesterday. hell, i took a shower last night and basically fell asleep after i got dressed. good times.
the New York Rangers won yesterday at Philadelphia, 2-1. that was their 10th win in a row. they will go for the team record tonight at Columbus.

a comeback for the ages...
when the Rangers got down yesterday 4-1 against the Islanders, i wasn't happy. but, i didn't give up hope yet either. now, no team had ever come back from a 3 goal deficit while playing in one of the outdoor games. the Rangers coach had never won one of these games. but, the franchise is undefeated in outdoor games. thankfully, the Islanders made the mistake of putting the Rangers on the power play. the Islanders penalty kill is the worst in the league. honestly, it is worse than most teams i have seen in the lower leagues. the Rangers came all the way to tie the game at 5 in regulation. then, 10 seconds into overtime, Artemi Panarin ended it with one of the craziest endings in a long time. Rangers won 6-5, in OT. they are now 5-0 in outdoor games.

at least i made a little money...
i made a bet back in August last year that the Kansas City Chiefs would win the Super Bowl. after last night, i wish i would have been able to put more on that bet. but, the one rule i stick to when gambling is only bet what you can afford to lose. so, i put $1 down on it and won $9 last night when the Chiefs won in overtime over the 49ers, 25-22. i thought the game eventually got good. halftime was really good. the commercials were sort of hit and miss for me, but there were more hits than misses. add in the nachos i made for dinner and all in all, it was a pretty good night.

here's hoping the game will be better than the commercials...
all my bets are in for the Super Bowl. i am leaning towards the Chiefs winning a close one. i'm tired of losing money to Patrick Mahomes. hopefully i'll win a few bets and have good things to say tomorrow. of course, if Manchester United loses before the Super Bowl today, i won't be in a good mood regardless. they play at Aston Villa.

so weird to be this sunny in February...
i actually had to put on my sunglasses when i went to the store today. that felt a little weird, even more so that is was damn near 50 degrees today. at least it isn't the crazy ass weather they have on the west coast right now.

finally, a day of sunshine...
i took a shower last night, hoping to ease the ache of my body. it didn't exactly work, but once i did fall asleep, i got a few hours of deep sleep. of course, i didn't wake up until 9 this morning, so i missed the start of the Manchester United game. more on that in a bit. we're supposed to have a run of days where it is in the 50's and sunshine. i'll gladly take them.
Manchester United won today 3-0 at home over West Ham. that is more like it boys.

one of those days where i wish i didn't have to wake up...
and it isn't that i get good sleep, it was just that i had finally fallen to sleep and then it was morning. i didn't feel refreshed but i'm sure i might have got a couple of hours of really deep sleep. and quite honestly, that is fucking rare for me anymore.
Manchester United won yesterday at Newport, 4-2, in the FA Cup. when it got tied up 2-2, i was fearing the worst. thankfully, that didn't happen.

i guess winter wants another go...
so, the rain that seems to never end is supposed to turn over to snow later today. joy.
let me get the bad news out of the way first.
the Dayton Flyers lost at Richmond last night, 69-64. that ends the Flyers winning streak and puts them in second place in the A10.
the New York Rangers got down 2-0 last night and my first thought was here we go again. thankfully, the Rangers scored 7 straight goals after that to win in Ottawa last night, 7-2.

the day after...
so, my birthday yesterday went pretty well. i was hoping to hear from more people, but that is the beauty of getting older. i was very happy with what mom got me. the Aaron Judge rookie card certainly surprised me. i went to the bank today to deposit my birthday money. after that, i went to Big Lots since i had a 15% off coupon for my birthday. they didn't have anything i was looking for.
the New York Rangers won last night in Anaheim, 5-2. i found out during the game that Jonathan Quick and K'Andre Miller also were born on January 21st. learn something new everyday.

happy birthday to me
i am now 48 years old. that is roughly 21 years longer than i ever wanted to live. of course, my disappointment with that has softened over the years. i did write 2 poems last night that i think are really fucking good. i made some cinnamon rolls this morning. arthritis made that a fucking adventure. but, they came out pretty good and aren't burnt. joy.
the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Rhode Island, 96-62.
