to end the day

It is only the great men who are truly obscene. If they had not dared to be obscene, they could never have dared to be great.
- Havelock Ellis


Watched the Bud Shootout Saturday night. Good stuff. Yeah. something about it I like. Seems there are at least few other folks around who pay attention to "stock" car racing. It certainly is more exciting when, like solobreak said, you care who wins. Caring who wins makes any competition exciting. Chess to Golf. And yeah I like Dale E. Jr... and M Waltrip... although, most of the guys who i like have retired... and these new kids just don't make me like em or hate em like the folks who've been racing for at least 10 years or so...

More TV even, yeah - i was feeling under the weather - the kids were destroying the house and i collapsed on the couch and watched some Red Wings... they ALMOST had it but not quite... Good game even though i would have much rather seen them win. I miss watching hockey more than once in a blue moon when NBC decides to show a game. But that's okay. Once in a while it is good to watch, bad to be tied down every time they are playing on the TV.

No football, so just left with sporadic Hockey and the start of Nascar.

And, like New England Cross, Nascar starts the season off with the biggest race of the year. How is that the same as cross around here? Gloucester is much the same. Biggest race of the year almost first of the season (well yeah, looks like big big races preceeding it this year but still...)

Oh yeah, go Wings! The PacNW is hockey purgatory especially for those of us without cable. I used to be a season ticket holder for UM. Yost is a great hockey venue. The Wolverines are number one in both big polls after taking a win and settling for a tie with previous #1 Miami (of Ohio). I'd love to watch some of those games.

Daytona party...

Big screen...

HiDef...

Evil snacks...

Every thing Ge & Solo try to deny themselves...

You know where it's at.

Way better than Yost is Munn Arena.

Talk about a pure hockey venue that is about as electric as it gets.

We had season tickets there for years (before moving).

I might just have to crash your party - unless anyone wants to hit Otis (or i get into home remodeling mode and just listen to it on the radio)

I should be in home remodeling mode but just ain't...

I'll see what is up. Should be fine for a guest.

Tried to watch the Beanpot Final last night but wound up watching TopGear instead.

CenterIce Package my friend. All Wings games all the time. I stare longingly at my Yzerman poster with him holding the Stanley Cup, choke up slightly at the memory of sitting in Royal Oak watching the event live, and recite the words "Believe" as I think of Vladimir Konstantinov, hoping he is doing well.

Center Ice implies you have cable/dish/fios or something i would assume.
