Happy Hour

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

For Hockey Fans. A sad day

Former Detroit Red Wing and Chicago Blackhawk, Bob Probert, died today after collapsing during a family outing on Lake St. Clair. He was taken to Windsor Regional Medical Centre but could not be revived. He was only 45. He leaves a wife, Dani and four children. The details are at the NHL website.
Probert was fifth all time in penalty minutes. He was a tough guy on the ice.
I know this will touch Buck. Red Wing fans are like that. I liked the guy just because of his game.

Probie's death did indeed touch me. He was one of my first hockey heroes, the toughest of the Tough Guys, but a guy who also made it to the All-Star game (once). He was known as an enforcer but he could also skate, pass, shoot, and score. A lot of people will remember him for his flaws, but I remember him for his greatness. He gave me a LOT of great good memories while he wore the Winged Wheel.

RIP, 24.
