The season is pretty much over

I don't care what some people might say, but the Leafs are done this year. 7 points out of a playoff spot with 10 games to play and a tough, tough schedule - Buffalo 3 times, Ottawa once, Philly once. The rest are against the likes of the Isles, Florida, Pittsburgh and Boston, all behind them in the standings.

If they play like they did tonight, a 3-2 win in Philly, they can go 7-3 to finish up. Unfortunately, the teams ahead of them would have to stink it up for them to make it.

With the Devils beating the Sens in a shootout, the lead remains 7 points.

It just wouldn't be my birthday without

some sort of blog.

Today at lunch, the gals at East Side Mario's got me to stand on my chair - bar stool height - and announced my name and age to the entire restaurant. I rose my hands in the air to the cheers of the audience, and graciously took a bow as the roses were thrown at my feet.

Well, maybe I'm exaggerating about the roses. And I really tried my best not to look down the tops of the waitresses who were standing in a semicircle below me.

Ah, the free cake. Who doesn't love free cake?

And I won a free lunch out of that, too. Now I wonder who took that back to the office when I left early for that damn meeting? You know, for the sinkhole at Jane and Hwy 7? Well, I digress.

More fun on tap tonight.

Have I said that I sometimes hate my job?

I just wanted to be sure.

I get so sick of all the politics in these high profile jobs with other companies trying to yank the rug out from under you.

But enough of that. Just know that I haven't forgotten about my blog, just that I have been out in the friggin field at least twice a day for the last couple of weeks.

Oh, some big news coming up... it is a surprise (and no it's not my birthday coming up, which I will also address at a later date).

Note to Shea - no hints, please!

Overwhelmed. Again.

Will somebody please tell me what's going on? I'm so overwhelmed these days that I don't know what to think.

The flow of life is kinda stuck right now, and I don't really have an idea why. Everything on the surface seems to be okay, but underneath....

You know what? I don't really have the ability to discuss anything right now.

Maybe I'll have an epiphany later on and figure out what is going on in my life.
