"JetStream" by New Order The perfect Pop Song????

on WFAN 660am

got a call through to WFAN 660 am yesterday. For those of you not in the NYC area, FAN was the home base for Imus. The rest of the day they do sports. I talked to Joe and Evan, who normally do the 10:00am to 1:00pm slot but they were on the 1:00 to 6:30 slot normaly occuipied by Mike and the Mad Dog. I talked about the loss of two good players by my NJ Devils to free agency, and how bad it hurt that Scott Gomez wound up on the rangers. Pretty cool. FAN is one of only two 50,000 watt am radio stations in NYC. Cool beans.......

47 for a day............................

Some thoughts after being 47 y.o. for a day....

1) 47 is no different than 46, but is different than 37 and way different than 27

2) Wisdom does not come with age...just check the spelling and grammer in this post.

3) 3 years till AARP

4) Last year I needed reading glasses, this year I forgot where I put them down...

5) Retirement is still to far away to be anything more than a dream....

6) However, suddenly investing sounds like a good idea

7) Sex and drugs and rock n roll...just not all at once please...

8) I can't drink two six packs anymore, heck 3 beers puts me to sleep...

9) Hockey at 27: "Who wants to play another game?"
Hockey at 37: " Sure I got time for one game!"
Hockey at 47: " What are you KIDDING me?"

10) Now what was I talking about? eh?

Stanley Cup Game 1: DUCKS 3, Ottawa 2

The first of two games that no one will see....at least in the U.S. How can you put the FINALS on a network that hardly reaches any homes? In my area you have to have digital cable or satellite to get Versus. Ah well anyway..

The Ducks are a better team 5 on 5. It is that simple. If they stay out of the penalty box they will win. Ottawa is good on power plays, but they cannot get by a full pond of ducks to get anywhere near the net. Ottawa's Jason Spezza was playing like he did a couple of years ago when he almost got booed out of town, give aways in the defensive zone. What can be said about Ottawa's keeper, Ray Emery? He kept them in the game last night but IMHO he is just not that good. He plays position very well, but has no rebound control and he has a lot of trouble catching the puck. Look for the Ducks to exploit this.

Again this was a great game, hard, hard hitting and just great play all around, BUT NO ONE SAW IT.....at least in the states.......

NUTS for Jericho....................

Jericho was one of the few TV shows I would go out of my way to watch. CBS cancelled Jericho for next season and the fandom has created a unique protest. When a neighboring town orders Jericho to surrender Jake tells them "NUTS". So to protest the cancellation fans are sending nuts BY THE TON to CBS. Want to join in: http://www.nutsonline.com/jericho. For $5.00 you can buy into a share of a case. Let's save good TV.....................

Lotsa days off....

One of the great benefits of working at the Post Office is all the time we get off. I've been in for 21 years and I get 5 weeks off per year. Here is my next few weeks as an example:

Work : Friday and Saturday

Off: Sunday and Monday (Memorial Day)

Work: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

Off: Friday, Saturday (Sched days off) and Sunday

Off: two weeks vacation time

Off: Monday (extra vacation day) and Tuesday (sched day off)

pretty cool eh?

Come On we deserve it...we are out there rain sleet, heat and the gloom of night...not to mention putting up with postal management................
