Today is going to be a few degrees cooler than yesterday, but we've got a stretch of four to five 90°+ days ahead of us.

Overall, the NHL playoffs have been great this year. The finals have been a bit lackluster, with Florida dominating, but Edmonton won Game 4 and is out to an early lead in Game 5. Florida has zero pressure to win tonight – they're at home with a 3 games to 1 lead. Win tonight, and they get the Cup in front on their own fans. If they lose tonight, a bit of pressure will creep in.
I'm pulling for Florida but I'd also like to see a Finals that reflects the fantastic nature of the playoffs up to this point. It's not likely, but I'd love to see Edmonton stretch this to six or seven games.
I don't want hockey to end yet.

Update on the new Spitfire - title is on its way, but the car still sits in Wisconsin. We're waiting for the transport company to schedule a pickup. It's looking like we won't see it until mid July.

Legendary center fielder Mays dies at age 93 (espn.com)
In his 22-year career, Mays was selected to 24 All-Star games.
Read that closely. It may be the most Willie Mays stat of all time.
R.I.P. to the Say Hey Kid, Willie Mays.

This photograph is one of two that make my mind's eye view of Willie Mays. It's from the September, 1954 issue of Baseball Digest. Luckily, it's in the public domain. The other is this photo of The Catch, which currently isn't.
