The Lounge has been quiet the last few weeks. And a good thing, too. The HD screen in the Lounge needs some work, unless you like the blinking or shutter effect on the game or program you are watching.
(Good thing hockey season is over.)
But now that I have spent weekends in Boston as well as Coney Island in Brooklyn and Rockaway Beach in Queens, it's time to get back to the matters at hand, and that, as always is hockey.
OK, first a college football note. Glad to see Colorado leaving the Big 12 for the Pac-10 plus 2. The Texas schools always acted like they were doing the conference a favor of being in with CU, K-State, KU, Mizzou and Iowa State when all they really wanted was OU, OK-State and the Cornhucksters. And well, what did CU need with Baylor?
Nothing. Hopefully this is the final year of the association and then goodbye and good luck.
Now on to a short note about baseball. I've tried, believe me, to get through a full MLB contest. But I can only reach the fifth inning before I think that I might want to clean a garage (it doesn't need to be mine), spend an afternoon following someone who loves to shop or sit through a time-share pitch. I used to love the game, but it just drones on now. And the announcers won't be quiet. Yap, yap, yap. I'll check back in on Labor Day.
Until then, I'll monitor the progress of the New York-Penn League (Staten Island Yankees, short-season A) and the Pioneer League (Casper Ghosts, Rookie) for my baseball fix.
Now back to hockey. The draft's over and the free-agent fun begins July 1. We're back in operation here at the Lounge. Come on in. The first one's on us.
Here's the song that's bouncing in my head at the moment.
