i have worked on some where the hand-hewn beams were just beautiful and still very sturdy despite the passing of many decades.  but yeah, without standardized building methods back in the day, fixing things when they go wrong can be quite the monkey rodeo.

Great game, good win and hopefully they can ride that back here to Detroit on Monday and take the series.

As for drinking, Weihenstephaner (I bought rather a lot of it on the last foray to the store) and, at the moment, the new episode of "Orphan Black". Highly recommend this series if you've not seen any of it yet.

Nailed it. ToD is over the top and larger than life. I loved it. But then I also love Jim Steinman, Walter Hill, Sam Raimi, and Baz Luhrman. Stylized, in-your-face Art with a capital A is my favorite artistic mode.

THIS. Great game indeed, but the series should be over, the Wings out of danger from the Lightning and awaiting an eastern Canada opponent, but they're not. I did some quick little research...the last time the Wings were up 3-2 in a series and finished it in Game 6 was when they beat Pittsburgh for the Cup in 2008. Since then there have been four other such opportunities and the Wings blew them all, and then only went 2-2 in the resulting Game 7s (2009 Anaheim, 2009 Pittsburgh, 2010 Phoenix, 2013 Chicago). I love Babcock for the most part, but letting teams back into it, whether late in the game or late in the series, has been something his teams have done far too often. End that shit, close it out Monday!

I saw the win! Great response by the Wings. I'm a chaperone at my school's prom so I'll be drinking water and punch.... until grown up time after prom is over.
