Sting Win But They Made It Scary

The Arizona Sting played Edmonton on Sunday. Edmonton's a cellar dweller but they managed to beat the Sting last weekend so it was payback time. My man, Dan Dawson, started it out right with the first goal and the Sting were off to an early lead.

Too bad.

Once they got a couple of goals ahead, they went into the prevent defense (or whatever the Lacrosse equivalent is) and just looked tentative and completely unaggressive. Wrong move. Edmonton stormed back and took the lead. With only a bit left in the final period, the Sting got a power play and tied it up.

It was my first Sting sudden death overtime and I was worried that their tentative play was going to continue and that Edmonton was going to punish them. I needn't have worried, though. My man, Dan Dawson, scored the game winning goal a few minutes into overtime.

Whew!

He's such a stud...and older than Steven so even though I'm earning the Mrs. Robinson nickname I'm not being totally pervy and wanting someone younger than my kid.

After the game, Woody, Stan and I joined my man, Dan Dawson, and some of the other players at The Yard House for some brewskies. A word of warning, stay away from the Delirium Tremens beer unless you want to get toasted quickly. Strong stuff.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
