It Wasn't Pretty
That's how Jordan Staal described last night's loss between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Ottawa Senators..... 6 to 2, I have to agree, it wasn't pretty.
My friend Mark came down to watch the game last night and although we had a good time, the actual game sucked. The Pens scored in the first minute of the game, after that it was all Ottawa. The Senators scored 4 goals in the third to the Penguins 1 power-play goal.
The good thing is, it's early in the season and I'm sure the Penguins will learn from this game.... Despite the poor road game performances they are still a team that can put the puck in the net, and win games.

The Rain, Sleep and Books
It rained so loud last night that the noise on my skylight sounded like I was sleeping in a snare drum..... So obviously I was not sleeping very well.
Chesapeake rehab delivered my new battery charger for my power wheelchair this week. The last charger was under warranty when it decided to go south. I'm really pleased with this one, it's very quiet with very little humming noise. Some people can go to sleep to the radio, TV or other ambient noise.... I prefer quiet.
It's a hockey night, the Pittsburgh Penguins are playing Ottawa tonight. Team captain Sidney Crosby took a slight detour yesterday to Halifax in order to carry the Olympic torch for the 2010 games..... I plan on watching the game with a friend of mine. If the weather cooperates we may go out to watch the first couple of periods.
I'm still enjoying the Kindle 2, reading many free books from Amazon. I also like the fact that I can read the Kindle books on my laptop with the free software. I just recently read Mania by Craig Larsen, it was a really interesting book, you may want to check it out.

Oprah Winfrey and the Porn Star
Oh Oprah, have you really exhausted every other topic that you have to interview Jenna Jameson ? Has daytime television succumb to this.... is every talk show now like Jerry Springer?
In doing a little bit of aaaah research for this blog I found out some interesting facts about Jenna Jameson. Her autobiography was on the New York Times bestseller list for six weeks, she's made about $15 million in profit, she likes long walks on the beach..... and her favorite color is, okay the first two were true.
What are your thoughts on daytime television? I know sex sells, but really is anyone watching this crap?

Ugh Monday
I thought the end of the world was supposed to happen in 2012 according to the Mayan calendar. I'm taking Pittsburgh losing to Cincinnati twice in one year as a sign of the apocalypse.... Moving right along.
Have you had a chance to see the new pedigree dog food commercial? I was watching good morning America today when I heard the phrase " optimize your stool " nothing in the English language makes you look up more quickly than that phrase......thank God it was a dog food commercial, but still creepy.
Hopefully my week gets better, I found a small pressure sore under my arm. Nothing huge but it will take some time to heal.... At least I'm satisfied with my stool, I really shouldn't complain.

Big sports weekend
It's a pretty big sports weekend here in Pittsburgh, at least for me. Penn State plays this afternoon followed by Pitt and Notre Dame tonight, along with the Pittsburgh Penguins game..... it's days like this I wish I had TiVo.
The way the Penguins have been playing lately I will probably be watching the Pitt game. I will be switching back and forth to at least check the score ( I'm no fair weather fan ). The pens certainly need a victory.... injuries have been taking a toll on the team.
I need to check the sports lines but the last time I heard, Pitt was favored by seven points over Notre Dame, it's a huge game for the Pitt Panthers. I also think it is a huge game for the Notre Dame coach, Charlie Weis. I have a feeling his job is on the line, the Notre Dame faithful do not tolerate losing.... I'm a fan of both teams, but I will be rooting for the University of Pittsburgh tonight!
Not to mention the Steeler game on Sunday, the Steelers play Cincinnati here at home. The top spot in the division is on the line. I think Pittsburgh is a better team now than when we first played Cincinnati this year. My money is on the Steelers for a big win at Heinz Field.
Hopefully the field will be in good shape after the Pitt game. The weather is going to be gorgeous, sunshine and 60° ! It's hard to believe it's the middle of November here in Pittsburgh. I have friends attending all the games and I'll be watching on TV.... It's a big weekend for Pittsburgh fans!
