Hi TomS:
That kind of reading is great “Mind Exercise”… And it takes a good amount of discipline to stick at it and continue reading it…
Every politician should have and pass a course to qualify and offer to run and represent people in government office. And it (the OFFICE) should be on a purely volunteer basis…
Then before-and-after his political career he should have no “Inside” connection with the government if he returns to private enterprise. Well, something like that?
Bill…
I wanted to edit that post… However, I am still being denied that prevlidge…
Anyway, I’m getting ready to see Game Three tonight…
The Hockey Buffs around here are saying It’ll take seven games to decide the series… I’m predicting the series will go five games…
Bill…

A course to pass - I like that idea - it's hilarious down here in the states when they ask members of our congress to list the rights protected in the Bill of Rights - and they can't - or when they forget the words to our national anthem - I mean, it's not like the US anthem is a nice piece of music - not like yours - but, c'mon!
Actually, I don't think reading Basiat or whoever is really all that difficult - it's like reading legal stuff - at first it's totally difficult and boring - but once you get your bearings, you can breeze through it like butter. Seriously.
Much harder to play guitar well.
Anway, enough politics, there's a game afoot in a few hours - I'm calling it for the sens!
BbOoYy… There’d be war up there in Ottawa if the Ducks win tonight…
I wouldn’t wantta be anywhere on them streets if they loose… whoh is ME…
Bill…
I feel as though I have some influence over this game… As long as I don’t watch the tube the Sens score… Whenever I watch the tube the Ducks score…
The fans are so into this game…
Bill…
Listen at those Ottawa fans… I should have a cable plugged into the earphone out of the TV and record that noise…
Bill…
Yep, that was some game!
It certainly looks like we have a series now! Even though the ducks are up 2 games to 1, I for one would not try to make any predictions!
Did you see the game through the CBC feed? They interviewed Crosby and I should know the other player… However I don’t know him by name… at the start and during the end of the game…
It’s gonna come down to who wants the Stanley Cup more… But, I think the winning team will have to take Messier on to get IT, from him… 
I think the fans won that game… the noise…
They also panned the camera past the network audio booths… Did you happen to see the Mackie Mixer set-up in one of those booths? It looked like a version of the 1204 mixer.
Bill…
[EDIT]
Are you aware that the under 20 FIFA World Cup is gonna be held here in the Great White North? The CBC is gonna carry it here… I’m a football fan from way back… Take Off EH?
Yep, we watched the CBC feed. And I saw that mixer and thought exactly the same thing! I thought: dang, they use the same equipment we use! And you’re dead on about who will win. You saw Pronger got a game suspension for the elbow? Gives the Sens a bit of an opening.
The other fellow with Crosby was Vincent Lecavalier, a good Île Bizard boy as grapes might say, who won the Richard trophy with 52 goals for the season.
I was replying to a thread up here when the elbow was thrown… I saw a replay of it after the game was over… IT looked like a cheap elbow to me…
I’ll say if the Ducks win tonight the ducks have enough depth on their bench to win the Stanley Cup without Pronger… The league somehow has to curb these cheap hits… It’s gonna sooner-or-later hurt the NHL… let alone hurt some kid…In my opinion Pronger should receive a Series Suspension and maybe 10 games into the next season… Maybe, the player he elbow’d was faking IT? If the player dresses tonight and plays He could very well have faked IT… We’ll see…
Bill…
The Sens have the capability to win the series if they choose to go on the ice and play hockey… From what I’m seeing, they can play the game till it comes time to put the puck into the net. The players that have gotten them there has forgotten how to finish the play… The Swede’s Line is playing but it takes all the lines to win…
The hockey buffs around here are still saying seven games… I don’t see it that way… Murray and the guys behind the bench could win but the players are ones that have the skates-and-sticks…
It’s still great Hockey…
Bill…
Nope, one more game, and the ducks win at home.
The ultimate series win would have the Ducks win in Ottawa … Game six…
Bill…
Hi TomS:
I watched the NHL Awards program last evening… The CBC and Don MacLean carried the program… and what a show it was… at least for the Hockey fans… it was…
The show honoured some '50’s and '60’s Greats as the program progressed…
Anyway, the Stanley Cup will appear here in Cole Harbour by-way-of Joe D… ?? (He skated on the Duck’s Bench) I am unable to spell his name… Help… I hope they make the event available to the local hockey fans when it arrives… I’ll be looking for the event when that day comes… I hope…
I’ll be taking my camera… for sure…
Bill…
Ha! Everyone knows Sid the Kid, but there is that other guy from Cole Harbour…

Although he was born in Barrie, my sources say, which is where my wife spent her summers growing up. And where we honeymooned. And she’s touched the cup. But i never have. And she reminds me of this occasionally.

I suspect I’ll spend many a long hour trying to decipher that.
I’ll attempt to restrain my speculations to those of propriety and sanity; but I doubt if I’ll succeed.
Anyway, finish the rest of the song Tom.
Leonard Cohen at his most obscure, never produced lyrics half as good.
Dang, you are right, Perplexed! Those are not half bad!
Should I clue our perplexed friend Perplexed into the meaning of “the cup”, Bill? 
i’ll bet ya could make a hell of a hukkah outa that thing,go badgers!!!
