55 degrees this morning.
ATC Fitness was light this morning, probably due to Good Friday and Easter Weekend, but I have noticed that Friday is always a really slow day. Saturday and Sunday I am frequently the only one there (at the time I go) while Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I expect there are at least 30 people there exercising. Monday is kind of a mixed day, but Friday is always light.
Hockey and boxing are two sports I rarely watch, but I like when I do watch. (I also like stock car racing but rarely watch it due to the time involved. Formula one is always interesting and short enough I enjoy them.) Started watching the "St. Louis Blues" and the "Chicago Blackhawks" last night, actually during the first overtime. I was able to finish watching it this morning. I think what I like about both boxing and hockey is the intensity involved, especially in the overtime. In boxing, one mistake and that's it, in overtime hockey, the same thing could happen. I think that is what i like, even though Hockey is a team sport, there is an intensity it has that I don't see in pro basketball (which i never watch) and pro football. Anyway, that is my perception.
I never have liked the "shoot-outs" to decide the game. It seems rather strange (as well as unfair) to play a game based on one situation and then decide the game based on something completely different. Of course, I have to remember it is just entertainment, not the real world (although the money is certainly real world!).
In the game last night, I can imagine the disappointment of the Blackhawks. I wasn't really for either team (highly unusual for me) since I like both Chicago and St. Louis, and both the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals are my favorite baseball teams. While I don't watch pro basketball, I really have a lot of respect for the Memphis Grizzles, both as a team and for the players as individuals. They have a lot of class and contribute a lot to the community.
Catching up on my "Wired" magazines. Like a lot of magazines I get behind because I want to read them "when I can concentrate on it". I learned to just do it and not worry about it if I didn't feel I was concentrating on it. I learn a lot from reading Wired. They also have a lot of junk, but I've learned to skip over that, just like I do in newspapers. Wired is where i first learned about Twitter, which allowed me to get my own name as a Twitter name etc.
We should know if we have a contract on the house by today, or being Good Friday, it might be Monday. We still don't know where we would move, will depend on a number of factors. We just don't know yet.
Looks like it will be a great day, high of 70 degrees or so, sunny.
That's it for now.
