Will Imposition

Downhill Construction Progress
It was tough going back to the office yesterday after such a fun filled weekend but those weekends have to be paid for - both literally and figuratively.  It didn’t help that yesterday started out as one of those perfect New England summer days.

That resolved itself shortly after I got home with a line of menacing thunderstorms appearing on the horizon.  My thoughts immediately turned to Pendejo (Buddy’s name during thunderstorms).  It was time to launch the much vaunted thundershirt!  While it did not solve the problem completely, he didn’t suffer his usual complete break down when the storm arrived.  He made his way down the basement and somehow figured out how to worm his way under the basement stairs and shed the thundershirt in the course of his worming.   I would therefore grade the thundershirt as a very limited success – I’m not sure it’s been up against as determined a foe as the Wonder Pooch before.  We’ll keep trying.

My wife and I settled in to watch the Bruins’ playoff game against the Chicago Blackhawks.  On a very hot, humid night in Boston which directly affected the ice surface, the Bruins imposed their will on the faster Blackhawks.   There is almost an art to the type of defense the Bruins employ and it must be frustrating going up against it.  You can see the Blackhawks shying away from contact and looking over their shoulder expecting to be thwarted which becomes a self-fulfilling action.  Two games away from a championship but this series is a long way from being over.
