Hodge Podge Lodge Dodge....enough with the rhyming

I am back. It is a bit of a hodge podge of shit today.

Sad...Jerry Reed died. He was "The Snowman" of the Smokey and the Bandit films and a country song writer (rather accomplished). He was also the "mean" coach in Adam Sandler's "The Waterboy". He sure did not treat Bobby Boucher with respect. Of course, "little girls are the debil" or so says Mama.

Happy....Clap this goes out to you. An early "happy birthday" to the man, the dean of wild. It is a wonder, with his penchant for hard living, that he made it to 30, let alone his present age.

Apathy......The Leafs traded Bryan McCabe. I should be happy, but I am wildly apathetic. He should have never been signed to the deal he received. That was a big mistake but there were many under JF Ferguson Junior. Yet, I admire the fact that he was a stand up guy (Ferguson), it is the deals he signed which showed him to be lacking in terms of cap management, which is sadly a great skill now (it is the combination of talent and money decisions, so things are not based on talent alone, like in the NBA).

I would go on about my weekend but I was in New Orleans...just kidding. There was some beautiful weather we had around these parts. Summer ends and then there is no rain. What can you do?

Ciao!
