Nice game by Toronto, showed what a good team it is. As for the finals, if they don't win the first two games in Toronto, then I don't think they have a chance, as I can't see the Warriors losing the games in Oakland, which will be the last ones there before they move to San Francisco next year.

Lord of the Rings. Read it many times growing up, and then, stopped for some reason. I realized the other day that it's been at least fifteen years since I last read the whole thing. looking forward to revisiting.

Only one I've read was A Time To Keep Silence, and unfortunately, I was not impressed. There's just something about the outlook, the feel of how he looks at things that stuck me a bit off. It's just me, but I've never been a fan of "The Englishman On The Road" style books, Waugh's travel books leave me cold, and Hilaire Belloc's Journey to Rome was a no go for me.

I happen to like them, kind of a trippy-prog-rock-Led-Zeppelin feel to them. If you have Apple Music, the essential Tame Impala Playlist is a very good introduction to their music. I like InnerSpeaker, think that's their best album.

Tame Impala: Currents

Basketball has got to be the toughest sport to referee, as has often been said, you can call a foul on every play.

Plus, they had to overturn a shot clock violation because they missed the ball hitting the rim. I thought offensive interference was a reviewable call, even watching on tv, I thought the hand touched the ball over the rim -- but nothing done. Like I said: Interesting

Sun Ra: The Space Age Is Here To Stay

I have to say that the officiating was.... interesting last night. It was a throw-back to the 80s, let's get physical style. Not saying that it was bad, but definitely old school.

Very impressive road win for Toronto tonight, out played the Bucks in all phases of the game. They can close it out Saturday night.

Wings: Season 1. Thank goodness, finally on Amazon Prime

It sounded like a throw-back to the 1970s, a mix of synths and voices that was going on then. It's a if Byrd's A New Perspective and McCann's Invitation to Openness had a lovechild, this it what it would sound like. However, I like those kinds of things, so I enjoyed it immensely.

Jazz in Paris, vol. 26: Jazz sur Seine de Barney Wilen

It'll be interesting to see if the Bucks make some offensive adjusts tonight, it seems as if that 1-2-2 zone the Raptors had going gave them some trouble.

Brad Mehldau: Finding Gabriel

Tito Puente: Top Percussion. I've always love this album

Thanks for the heads-up, it's also on Apple Music

MLB should do a McCourt on he behind.

I Am Not Your Negro.

Cano, not running out ground balls??? No way!!! What. The. Heck. Everyone who follows baseball knows that running things out is not how he plays the game, the Mets can't be surprised by a darn thing.

John Barry: Soundtrack and Singles -- 1963 - 1966

Still not convinced the Raptors are going to the final. Home game, they blow the lead and need double OT for the win against an ice cold Giannis. Plus, it looks like Leonard's leg is bothering him. We'll see, but I have the Bucks in six.
