The best is always yet to come

That’s what they explain to me
Just do your thing, you’ll be king
If dogs run free  (Dylan)

Fresh off a successful jaunt to Raleigh and feeling good about the Canes chances verse Vegas.....at the start of the playoffs i questioned their defense and goaltending .......i no longer do.........I must admit that should they loose, i will be very happy for Coach John Tortorella.....the beloved former Blue shirt coach.

The Lenovo Center was a gem......they had 2 makeshift bars in the parking lot at the main entrance to the arena and were slinging ice cold cans of Beeer for $5....and since were staying in a hotel we did not have a car or cooler....so this was ideal.......once inside the place was impressive.....felt much smaller than the 18,500 capacity.......we sat in the upper tier in the St Patrick section (317)..........sections 318 & 319 were removed last year and replaced with an open air VIEW BAR with a railing overlooking the ice....pub tables, and flat screen TVS along the walls.....and amongst other things they were serving STORM BREW on Tap.....The Raleigh Durham brewery brewed this beer especially for the arena and Canes fan were allowed to pick the name.......we stayed in a Ramada on the campus and a short walk from the arena.....great experience.

Saw a hysterical interview with Doctor Jill......obviously she has a new book coming out and so now she's talking......she swears that during Joe's debate meltdown she thought he was either drugged or having a stroke.........now most ordinary citizens know; if a person is having a stroke, time is of the essence and every minute counts............so what did Doctor Jill do ?    she took Joe to the Atlanta Waffle House in the middle of the night to shake hands with the natives.......and the next morning she paraded him onstage and praised him for "answering every question" from the night before.......hmm......dam video evidence is hard to argue against.....guess she wasn't too worried about that so called stroke she thought he was having.

Mandani....the Mayor for ALL of NEW YORK......will become the first sitting Mayor to skip the Israeli Day Parade since its' inception in 1964....i hope the tarlovs of the world are happy.......but hey.....when someone tries to tell you WHO they really are......you should listen.

POTUS has accepted an invitation from Jim Dolan to attend one of the Knicks games at MSG in the finals.....must see TV.......hopefully be brings  Tom Homan and has ICE arrest Wemby during the pregame shoot around.

This morning me and my Pal were taking a stroll along the golf course as the sun came up.....he really took his time...sniffing everything....taking it all in......we both watched golfers stretching and prepping by the first tee box....envious perhaps of those that are on the front 9 of life....while we both are somewhere between 17 and the clubhouse........slainte....breathe it all in.....enjoy what you can.

True love can make a blade of grass
Stand up straight and tall
In harmony with the cosmic sea
True love needs no company
It can cure the soul, it can make it whole
If dogs run free
