Fallin' From Grace...

Just in from a quick blast out to the base and back (as I began writing this)…I was seriously short on some key consumables and the commissary is closed tomorrow—thus: shop today or wait until Tuesday. At any rate, it’s a beautiful day…59 degrees in a cloudless sky and more warmth to come. Needless to say, it was a top-down ride out to the airplane patch and back. With Joan Osborne blasting comin’ in, comin’ in loud and clear…so it’s a natural that she should have the...

Song of the Day

Song: Dracula Moon
Artist: Joan Osborne
Album: Relish
Year: 1995 (but listened to during ’98 and onwards)
Source: My Stuff

Makes Me Think of & etc.: The Second Mrs. Pennington. Read the lyrics…

Where are the bones on that one
What if the cure is worse than the disease
Serve me up some pretty, pretty people
Serve me up somebody I can believe

Don't feel sorry for me
I hate that look on your face
You say, just let go
You say, come back home
I say, I'm just fallin' from grace

I'm naked in a hotel room
My station comin' in, comin' in loud and clear
I'm makin' out with my one true love
I'm makin' this hotel room disappear

Stop feelin' sorry for me
I hate that look on your face
You say, just let go
You say, come back home
I say, I'm just fallin' from grace
I say that like fallin' from grace

You never know it to look at me
A Dracula moon
See love come down any way you want to
Doesn't ask for your permission
Open up your arms and we will break you in too(two?)

Stop feelin' sorry for me
I hate that look on your face
You say, just let go
You say, come back home
I say, I'm just fallin' from grace
I say, I'm just fallin' from grace...
Just fallin'
Just fallin'...

I'm smooth and heavy all over the world
I'm smooth and heavy all over the world

I’m also watching the Wings play Calgary. It’s the end of the first intermission and the Wings are up, 2-0…outshooting Calgary 22-7 in the first period. This is only Game Two, I keep telling myself. But the Wings are looking SO good!

And here comes the second period…

Back after the game. Maybe.

Update, 1250 hrs: Second intermission, Wings up 2-1. Calgary looked MUCH better in the second period, scoring a fluke power play goal...a carom off of Chris Chelios' chest that Hasek had no chance on. Overall, the Flames seem to be a LOT more motivated, they're winning a few more battles along the boards and are getting more quality scoring chances. Kiprusoff is playing a strong game...once again, if it weren't for his goaltending the score might be 4-1 at this point. Hasek, for his part, is looking good but hasn't faced near the same number of shots as Kiprusoff (Detroit outshot Calgary 12-3 in the second). The third period will be interesting...

Update, 1355 hrs: Wings win, 3-1 to take a 2-0 series lead. I don't think the next game will be this "easy" once the series moves to Alberta... But one hopes.

And now it's time to go for a ride!!
