Music Monday – “Wishin’ I had money/Wishin’ for the time to spend it all/Wishin’ I was pretty/Wish that I could twist the world ’round my finger”

Flames Lose To Ducks And Are Out of #StanleyCup Playoffs To End Cinderella Season

As the NHL season came to a close, I kept telling myself that if they could just make the playoffs, that was more than anyone expected of the Flames this season.  And they did that. Then I just wanted to beat their arch-rival Canucks in the first round.  And they did that. Then I just […]

Music Monday – “When the night has come/And the land is dark/And the moon is the only light we’ll see” (RIP Ben E. King)
