Bye-bye Hockey...Hockey Good-Bye..............(ala- Frankie Valli)

The NHL hockey season......

Never enough games.
Never the right trades.
Never enough wins for your favorite team.
Never available tickets for the games you want to go see .
Never the right officials calling the right penalties.
Never enough short lines at the concession stands.
Never the right team coaches.
Never a good ratio of fights per period.
Never enough goals scored so you can hear the horn or siren go off.
Never enough jerseys to wear in support of your team.
Never enough online, t.v., or newspaper game/player coverage.
Never enough player autographs.
And there is never a game long enough so you can keep drinking in every sound, movement,emotion, statistic, and zamboni pass.

The NHL hockey season...just isn't long enough!

George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.
You get into your teens... now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life... you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90's, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
