Last Saturday I turned 24. Hardly worth cheering about. I spent most of the day with my wife. We did have lunch together, but afterwards we headed out to Westmont to help some friends move in. So much for celebration. Was it really 24 years ago when my mother screamed to wake the dead then plopped me into this world?
I must be getting senile in my old age. But am I really that old? I haven’t even garnered a quarter century of life yet! Yet here I am feeling as though I have been through a lifetime’s worth of experiences.
On a positive note, Bethany Lutheran voted to raise my salary on Sunday. Yay!!! That means I’ll be sticking around for a while. Susan says she’s ready to get rid of her choir. I’ll be happy to take it off her hands!
Last and certainly not least, the Penguins staved off elimination last night to beat Detroit in Detroit in triple OT. While I do think that the Cup will be won by the New York Yankees of hockey (the Detroit Red Wings), at least Pittsburg made a series of it. Considering that Pittsburg tied the game with 34 seconds left, I was just happy to go to bed with game tied.
That’ll have the fans in the Igloo (aka Mellon Arena in Pittsburg) chanting, “WE WANT THE CUP!! WE WANT THE CUP!! WE WANT…”
Anybody catch the Garth Brooks reference...anybody?
