Some rambling thoughts....

I just realized a few days ago that I'm turning 46 this year. When I was in my teens, I would have considered that ancient. Now it just feels like it is. It shocked me a bit to realize that I'm just short of 50 years old with 2 adult children and one that's so close she may as well be. Might be time to make a bucket list.

I'm really enjoying the warm weather. Next week is the first official outing to the golf course. The grass is growing quickly, so it'll be time to crank up the lawn mower next week too. The cats are loving the fact that they can now lay in the open windows and watch the birds and squirrels. About the only bad thing about warmer weather is the bugs. All the little creepy crawlies and flying annoyances are back already too, and will probably only get more numerous as the weather warms even more. still, it's nice to hear the birds chirping and watch the squirrels run around the neighborhood looking for a bite to eat.

Stanley Cup playoffs begin this week, and I can't wait to watch some great hockey. Last year's playoffs were excellent, and there are some really good teams this year, who, if they make it through the first round, will make some compelling second round games. Go Blackhawks!!

Anyway, enough for now. 'Til next time..... as Red Green would say: "Keep your stick on the ice".
