missed birthdays, Brightkite and cryers

Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday and I’ve made a habit of driving to Erie and have a cigar with him at the cemetery. Today though it’s pouring down rain and the motor on my wipers is just about shot so I’m staying home and taking a day for myself. Yeah, and I’m still online. Even when I’m off I’m still on. Happy Birthday dad. Stop the rain and I’ll go outside and have that cigar.

I was sent an invite to join Bright Kite last week and it’s starting to get addicting like Twitter. The jist of BK is that it’s location-based social networking. What I dig is that I can post pics from my cell phone and BK will publish it to my Twitter account. I’m not very kosher on the whole “here is my exact location” idea but you can have that limited to the state you’re in. The plus side though is I can see if anyone else is in my general area when I want to hang out. It’s like a GPS of others.

Pens won 4-2 last night and are 2 games away from the Stanley Cup Finals. Midway through the 2nd period I already had calls from Flyers fans saying the series was over. Nice eh? I’m still sticking with my prediction of Pens in 7 only because Philadelphia fans are insane and can give that team of thugs enough spirit to pull out wins… or Geno will just blast more goals past his biatch Biron and this is over in 4. I have tickets to game 5 so part of me is also hoping that I get to see the clinching game here.
