Games I taped and watched later. Rarely did three days pass without having a fix. I am now on day seven and I feel like I need to check myself into rehab. With the Pirates in a slump, baseball hasn\u2019t helped much. I even tried watching golf yesterday. Golf! I am more than a little worried I will be forced to watch the basketball finals tonight. I hate basketball. I am from Pittsburgh, so I am programmed from birth to dislike anything from Cleveland. I don\u2019t think I can endure seeing Cleveland celebrate a victory.<\/p>\n<p>Random musings from this weekend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only two episodes of Game of Thrones remain. The wait is so long, and the series goes so fast.<\/li>\n<li>It is the season for car wash fundraisers. A note to parents: please do not let your children meander through traffic on a four lane highway to collect donations and wave signs. I know the light is red, but it turns green before you know it and trucks speed by at 50 MPH.<\/li>\n<li>I have been mildly productive at writing this weekend. Almost two thousand words. Some of them are even good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=durk13\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a week since the Penguins clinched the Stanley Cup.
