hehehe, well good news and bad news. Bad news Nashville beat out Denver, which guarantees Calgary a playoff spot. The Oilers were down 2-1 in the 2^nd but got 2 goals in the 3^rd , they won 3-2 great way to end a dismal season. Of course losing Ryan Smyth and having 18 injuries the Oilers just couldn’t get any momentum together. Also tonight they broke a dubious team record, I think 207 minutes without a goal. If they kept Bergeron and Ryan Smyth, and Ethan Morrow didn’t get injured in game 5 and Jarred Stoll, the Oilers would have been a contender for a playoff spot, The other bad news is with a win tonight got them ousted out of the 5 lower teams draft pick lottery. A win tonight and they’re out of that. I feel pretty good about the Oilers tonight. Maybe they need to make some changes in the league as well. The Oilers and perhaps LA are the two most traveled teams in the league. There’s been talk of parity and I think Western Conference teams ought to play the West and east play the east maybe something like that. So now everything in the West is settled. Calgary plays Detroit and I think that series begins Thursday if the East has their game Wednesday, whoever comes out of the Islander/Jersey game tomorrow. I’ll be watching that one for the scores. If the Islanders win Toronto is out, if the Islanders lose then Toronto is in and the game is in New Jersey. There’s just that to settle. The first round I predict that Detroit will knock Calgary out in 6. In the finale it will be Detroit and Buffalo. But I’ll be watching the playoffs anyway down to the wire. Which should be over by about middle of June.

Ok just before dinner I began work on C1. I’m going to get back to it again shortly. I’m almost done the first version. With this version as I’m just doing the initial edit with this one.

And now for some space news, it seems Microsoft’s’ Charles Simonyi will be the 5^th space tourist to pay the $20 million dollar price tag to take a rocket to space. Simonyi is one of 891 Billionaires in the world, well good for him.
