I Hope You're Not Expecting Coherence

So... it's getting late, and thoughts are pinging around my brain like random ping-pong balls (are there any other kind?). Such as:

• I'm sorry the Bruins lost last night. They played a pretty good game, and got really excellent goaltending (thanks, Timmy!). But even if your goalie was four feet tall and six feet wide, thus blocking any way for your opponent to get the puck in the net, you can't win a hockey game without scoring.
• It's pretty bad luck to make it to twenty seconds left and then get scored on. But the same thing could have happened in sudden death overtime, so let's keep perspective. Lost. Move on. Win game two.
• I worked on knitting my sweater during the game, and finished the first sleeve! I didn't bind the end off, in case I decide I want it longer, but provisionally I like it as is. Pictures to come.
• Speaking of pictures, my computer event of the other night seems to have lost my pictures (the folders are still there, but they're empty). I do have years of them backed up, but that's something I hadn't done recently, so I think the last few months are gone. I'm trying to keep my sense of perspective up--they're just pictures, no one died--but it's a pretty upsetting thing, and I can't stand to look into it further tonight. A little more ignorance is bliss over here, waiter, please.
• I think I should add IT specialist to my list of Mythical Staff, don't you? You know, I wish I had a ... cook, housekeeper, mechanic, shopper, personal trainer ...
  

Really, there aren't that many things I don't want to outsource. Reading, knitting, playing with the cat, watching the Bruins.

On the plus side, I think I named my blog well.
