Tuesday

The day's promised thunderstorms arrived a couple of hours ago. It's raining hard, and we didn't need it. The dog towels that I laundered on Sunday have already been washed again, and the kitchen and dining room floor look like absolute crap.

Because of the lack of warmth and sun, I finally broke down and set up the grow light for the seed tray. I don't know if it helped or not, but several pepper and tomato seeds have sprouted. If all the current hatchlings survive, I'll have more than enough to plant next month.

Heard that Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith on Dr Who, passed away today. I liked her. I *think* she was my first companion. I started watching Dr Who during the Tom Baker years, and she traveled with him for a time.

Now to work, with occasional checks of the media to see if the Blackhawks live to skate another day.

I think I've mentioned before that this Hawks team reminds me of the 2007 team. I am by no means an expert fan, but I saw a streaky team that could go from brilliance to utter incompetence and back again over the course of a period. They had pretty much the same team at that time, so it was a question of waiting for the pieces to mesh. Now, I don't think they have all the pieces. They lost half the team, and the replacements don't quite fit.

I would give a lot to get Dustin Byfuglien and his obnoxious physicality back, frex, but the Thrashers locked him up for the next few years.
