Working OT, Reagen, and Escape

Its amazing. Today was a restful day. I spent way to much money on vitamins at GNC. Heard the news that our former president Ronny Reagen had passed and possibly watched my final hockey game in a long time. Spent some time having dinner with friends and stayed inside as the weather for June was awful nasty and awful cold. As I am watching this game in Overtime I keep thinking that without a hockey season next year it will be like loosing an old friend. Hockey has been a real part of my life since the 80's. And yes as a Devil fans I have dealt with the losing and the winning equally. But sports are an escape for me, as they are for many people around this great country of ours. There is so much bad in this world, that sports and TV are a necessary evil!! I hate to say it but its the truth. Escapism, and fantasy is what helps all of us get through the hard times in life. In the post 9-11 world it has become more necessary then ever. So what does Ronald Reagen have to do with this post. Nothing really. It was during his second term in office when the devils made the playoffs for the first time in team history (1987). It was during his tenure that we learned words like "trickle down economics." Its also amazing to me seeing the president pass away makes me think as an independent voter who should be the next president. To be honest I am not sure who to vote for. Both candidates talk out of their asses, and I wouldn't trust either of them to sleep in my house to take care of my dogs. Well I guess I will hold that one til election day. For now. Goodnight all, and with the game still going if calgary scores. Goodnight, and possibly goodbye old fried.
