April 11-12th - 0-10

Last bit of Wild hockey for the season; they won their final game, 6-3, over Columbus. So, if the Blues or Ducks had cooperated, we'd be in the playoffs. Instead, no post season, and we're likely losing our head coach and Marion Gaborik, who's pretty much our top scorer when healthy. And so it goes.

In car news, I test drove a Honda Fit Saturday. I like it a lot. It's easily my favorite of the cars in the question, but it's the most expensive. The least expensive, the Toyota Yaris, gets the worst ratings from critics. I guess that's how it works. Not sure which way I'll go, because I still don't know if our house is definitely selling. Haven't heard the results of the inspection and the radon test, but I expect to get those today.

Easter was yesterday. Now, I'm all about the Christianity and the Son of God dying for my sins (thanks, buddy), but am I the only one who is maybe a little concerned that zombie Jesus was up walking around the Earth for a while? Didn't anyone else see 28 Days Later? It only take a couple zombies to send things south quite quickly.

Anyway, good time with the families on Easter. Good time the night before, too, when Sophie and I watched some John Fogerty concert footage on the TV. Sophie had all kinds of questions about the songs and who was doing what, before finally saying:

Sophie: I want to do this when I grow up.

Kirk: Well, it's a lot of hard work, and it's very risky, but if you can make your living doing that, I imagine there's just nothing better.

Sophie: Why's it hard work?

Kirk: You have to practice a long time to learn how to play an instrument, and you have to learn to write songs.

Sophie: What if no one likes my songs?

Kirk: Some people won't, but some will, I bet. Your mom and I will like your songs.

Sophie: I'll sing you one (Sings.) I love my dad. I love my mom. I love Sammy. I love Londie.

Kirk: Yeah, that's pretty good. But I prefer that one about the blimp explosion.

End run gains five.

My ball: 3rd and 3 on my 40.
