Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show...(the opening lines of David Copperfield as written by Charles Dickens;inspired by MTM). Or at least this ACCOUNT will, perhaps, have a reflection on whether I'm going to be the hero in my own life.
...But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one~~~Melissa Etheridge; I'm The Only One
I was at The Center For The Arts on the UB North Campus Thursday evening, 7 April watching a beautiful performance of ROMEO & JULIET, by the Russian National Ballet Theatre. While only 21 years old, the ballet company demonstrated some real choreographic skill and maturity at every level of the production. What was a very nice added feature was the question & answer session that took place prior to the ballet. With this taking place on the university campus, this interactivity was a value-added benefit for everybody in attendance, including the student-body who were there as part of course requirements. For myself, the last time I had seen a production of this Shakespearean classic was the Franco Zeffirelli directed movie Romeo and Juliet in 1968,which starred Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting. But getting caught-up in the drama of the two star-crossed lovers, is timeless. I found myself captivated by the trials, tribulations, and ultimate tragedy of paying the supreme price for their undeniable love. I found myself getting emotionally drawn into the intrigue by the richness of the excellent story-telling choreography.
Friday 8 April, 2011, had the Sabres in town!! And when I say Sabres---I mean the team---as well as 85 members of their Alumni. On tap was the final home-game of the regular season. The new owner Terry Pegula wanted to put a special touch on this final home game of the regular season. This was the 40th Anniversary Season, and Pegula wanted it to end~~~in style. In all, 85 Sabres players of the past attended the festivities. And ALL of the freight charges were covered by Pegula. Keep in mind, some of these players from the past, now reside in places far, far away. Pegula covered everything. The key component to this event as well, was a playoff-berth; a ticket to the Second-Season. And whom were we playing against---our perennial nemesis, Danny Beiere, and the Philadelphia Flyers.
With a hi-light-file spin-move goal late in the third period, Gerbe tied the score!! And early in over-time Thomas Vanek scored the game-winner for the Sabres whereby 18,000plus fans erupted into euphoria!! If we were to actually win The Stanley Cup~~~I couldn't even imagine!! I am thinking Moses may have to come down from the mountain; the Skyway, with another set of Ten Commandments. In the words of Cecil B. DeMille, there will be that kind of chaos, and mayhem, and other distractions.
We live in parallel/across the empty blue
We are like earth and sun/and I still circle you
Saturday~~~9 April, 2011. The Sabres play their final game of the regular season with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Paul Gaustad scored the winner late on a power play, and four other Buffalo players scored as the Sabres held on to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-4 on Saturday night in the season finale for both teams.
With the game tied 3-3, Drew Stafford and Gaustad, who also had an assist, scored on a five-minute major to former Buffalo captain Craig Rivet for cross-checking Tyler Ennis.
The win should put the Sabres in position to play the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round of the playoffs. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It's tough to find a more hated playoff rival in Buffalo than the Philadelphia Flyers. They dashed the Sabres' first chance at a Stanley Cup in 1975. More recently, they had five series in a seven-year span, with bitterness and memorable beatings on both sides throughout the late '90s and early 2000s. The teams are set to meet once again. The seventh-seeded Sabres and second-seeded Flyers, both victorious in their regular-season finales Saturday, will face off in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals this week. The Sabres finished this season 43-29-10 for 96 points, which includes a 28-11-6 record since Jan. 1. They won the Northeast Division last year but lost in the first round to Boston.
Ooooooh Aaaaaah; Sabres on The Warpath||||||||||
