I've been having a few busy couple of days here as I'm breaking into my new Sunday shift.

Huh? I mean couldn’t McMahon come up with a more convincing story line then to sell Monday night Raw to Donald Trump? Nobody is buying this one. I’d believe it if they got down to business in the ring with lawyers and papers signed and a whole bunch of new belts like a new Monday night Raw title, and a Diva’s tag team title. Then I might be convinced.

Last night Coast had a great spot on the paranormal with UK radio host Ross Hemsworth. He’s kind of like the George Noory of the UK. But they were talking about Aleister Crowley and the Loch ness monster all kinds of good stuff. But it was getting late and I couldn’t sleep (most likely due to the extra coffee I had in my system) Sleep came really hard for me overnight. I think I got about 5 hours if that.

Tomorrow I’m going to go in for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for a 32.5 hour work week. I haven’t pulled one of these in for quite awhile. It’ll help cut down on the stack of books I have at Audrey’s that’s for sure.

So it seems that the judge in the Jim Balsillie/Phoenix Coyote saga to buy and move the team is over, for now. From my understanding is that if Balsillie continues to move this forward for the June 29th deadline, the door will be closed. If he wants to pursue “long term” then the door is open. I can understand it from the judge’s POV. There’s issues like anti-trust, relocation fees, no other offers on the table and a lot of other issues that can’t just be resolved in 14 days. This whole saga might eventually oust Bettman as commissioner. Bettman began his NHL career as Commissioner in February 1993. It’s been 16 years since a Canadian team had won the Stanley Cup. My gut feeling is that as long as Bettman is Commissioner no Canadian team will ever win the Stanley Cup as long as he is Commissioner. The Oiler’s had a chance to win it in 2006 but Carolina took out Rollison in game 1 of the finale. If Rollison wasn’t taken out I believe the Oiler’s would have won the cup that year.

Still in around the middle of “In Conquest born” by C.S. Friedman. At the rate I’m going I probably wont complete this book until the end of the month and a bit after. This duology is my summer read I guess.

Tonight I’m in for my 4 hours but by this time tomorrow I want to be in the thick of it into my first afternoon in a long time. It’s trying to take my insulin and juggling all that around that could through me off.

Anyway gang, that’s all for now
