Misplaced priorities and disgruntled cats

Okay, maybe not _huge_ in the cosmic scheme of things, but the NCAA "Frozen Four" national ice-hockey championship commences tonight. Maine plays Wisconsin. Do you think that _any_ of the local TV stations could acquire video rights and pre-empt a few sitcoms to broadcast the game? After deluging us with obscure college basketball teams for the last few weeks?

Nope.

And we acquired a couple of inches of wet snow overnight. Nikita the Mighty Huntress now perches on a porch rail next door, glaring out at the nasty stuff and declining to dampen her paws in it.

Of course that's huge. You live in the north; you should have hockey on your TV. These are the rules.

We have hockey and we're waaaaaay down south.

Day 39 of no rain. Send me some of that snow, plants are suffering.

Oh, Elder Son has cable. But that would require me to leave my cave.

Meanwhile, back at the radio, Mudville is down 3-1 in the third period. Gloom has settled in Mudville.

Yep. Maine made it interesting briefly, but that went away. Shorthanded goals are so embarassing...

They've been doing it all season -- 58 minutes of good hockey and 2 minutes of "who dat?" does not make a great team. One reason why I was surprised they made it as far as they did.
