Of Hockey, The Girls and the McCarthy Enigma

Blue skies:-)

<happy sigh>

I don’t recall,

such an amazing,

Thanksgiving weekend.

The weather has been,

breathtaking.

I’ve had a nice,

quiet,

relaxing,

weekend.

Last night,

had dinner,

at the ex’s,

or,

as I now,

refer to her,

Slim:-)

We watched some,

of the hockey game,

she has this new amazing, fibre optic cable, wow, really clear and crisp.

The Habs,

won,

well,

clobbered,

the Winnipeg Jets,

reborn and with a new logo.

Good luck,

to the Jets.

I like the underdog,

and,

usually root,

for them,

except when they play,

My Habs:-)

New jersey,

pretty darn nice,

military inspired.

Not one of those,

embarassing jerseys.

The ex,

also made a copy,

of the new,

Indigo Girls,

for me,

as usual it’s excellent.

I’ve been listening to it,

this morning,

and she’s right,

as they get older,

it is harder to tell,

which are Amy songs,

and which are Emily songs.

Amy has mellowed,

that’s a good thing.

Love, tenderness, politics,

beautiful harmony,

and tight musicianship,

always a pleasure,

to spend time,

with the girls.

I’ve been reading,

a Somerset Maugham,

The Razor’s Edge,

never read it,

I like,

a real pro,

never disapointing.

I’m also slowly working my,

way,

through,

Les Liaisons Dangereuses,

fascinating,

but,

requires more,

concentration,

than,

I’ve had,

lately.

Yesterday,

at the library,

they didn’t have the,

Norman McLaren,

I wanted,

so I reserved it,

and got,

Cormac McCarthy’s,

Blood Meridian.

I tried to read,

The Road,

last year,

didn’t work out,

so I’m hoping,

Blood Meridian,

which is considered,

his masterpiece,

will help me get,

the McCarthy enigma.

But, since,

he is often compared,

to Roth and Pynchon,

I’m a little worried!!!

Still,

I’m gonna give it,

the Ole College Try:-)

Well,

have an amazing day,

Later girls,

BB

  1. Titles are something. When I saw ‘the McCarthy enigma’ I thought, ‘Great!’ BB will explain the world’s love of and fascination w/Paul…not so much:-) Anyways…. I didn’t realize that Sunday was Canadian Thanksgiving…in fact, I didn’t realize that any other country celebrated it. I don’t suppose that you are celebrating taking anyone’s land…:-)

  2. I would learn more about other countries but then my American citizenship might be revoked! What American knows anything about anyplace else?!:-)
