The amount of rain we're getting here in New England is reaching Biblical proportions. I've already started working on our ark in the backyard; some of the neighbor's 37 cats have moved in and plan to tell their friends. Seriously, it's getting ridiculous. We've got some leaks in our roof that have led to the strategic placing of pots and pans in certain spots in our kitchen, and there's even a leak into our bedroom (converted attic). [UPDATE: We just discovered that our basement is flooded, too. Awesome.] Getting a roofer to return your calls around here is like finding a Mensa member at a monster truck rally. And I've got a puddle in the back seat of my Olds. Bring back the drought!
Chock full o' nuts:
- My marathon training is winding down as I'm exactly two weeks away from the race in Burlington. I was supposed to do 15 miles this weekend for a long run, but I ended up on the treadmill yesterday and only had the time and inclination to do 10. But whatever. I feel good and hopefully that will continue as the race approaches. Also, hopefully this rain will end before then.
- The NHL playoffs roll on. Anaheim and Buffalo have already advanced to the third round, while Carolina holds a 3-1 lead over New Jersey and San Jose and Edmonton are tied at 2. Ottawa, who lost to the Sabres in OT last night to bow out in five games, were picked by many to contend for the Cup. Instead, they've once again disappointed their fandom (and delighted Leafs fans) by tanking early. There could be some big changes in the Canadian capitol this offseason; a lot of the Senators' big-name players (Alfredsson, Chara, Heatley) turned in subpar efforts.
- This guy has to be considering a career change. If not, he needs a new agent.
