I had a very bad early morning.I woke up with a very bad headache and chills.Nurse Toby took my blood pressure and it was 173/82.

I took my blood pressure medication and 30 minutes later it went down to 159/65 and 30 minutes after that it was normal.
My Cardiologist retired Dec.20 and as of yet I have not found a new doctor.

Feel better Lenny.

Nurse Toby is a blessing for you. Make sure you give her extra hugs. A back rub or two would be good too.☺️

Exactly, I don't watch any regular season hockey it's pretty much meaningless. Just about every team in the league makes the playoffs anyway.

 

Hockey season starts April 17th.

You aren’t very familiar with NHL hockey are you Jim. 16 of 32 teams make the playoff. When compared to other sports leagues that is right in the middle. 
 

NFL 14/32

NHL 16/32

NBA 16/30

 

Even golf is about the same…

 

At the PGA championship 76/156 make the cut

 

Baseball is the one exception to the rule in North American sports.  Due to the lack of physical demands on the players the sport commands, they can play 162 games a season rendering an extended playoff season logistically impossible and moot.

@Ozark_Kid I just read through your excellent Alaska live  cruise trip review from 2022, again.  I was reading posts about exploring Sitka on foot and your live review was linked.  We will be cruising Alaska in the same month (May) so it was interesting to read about the weather you experienced, as well as your port activities.  Hoping to get an up close eagle photo similar to the excellent one you took.

I am glad you enjoyed the review.   I loved going to Alaska.  Before leaving I thought I would not like it as much because I don't like cold.  Looking back it was one of my favorite cruises.

The Sitka National Historical Park is well worth going.   Not a bad walk from the pier too.  Find a map online.

Are you going to Skagway?  Many like doing the train and other excursions, this is another place to explore on your own.  There are several beautiful trails to explore.   After the trails, go downtown and get a Doughboy!  Then go to Skagway Brewing Co.  just for the Halibut.   So good!  I am sure you will love this cruise!

@lenquixote66Feel better, Lenny!  I sure hope you find a good Cardiologist, and soon!

Take care of yourself!

My doctor had other doctors in his practice but did not recommend them .

My Nephrologist treats me for the BP,I plan on asking him if he can refer me to a Cardiologist.

We were married on Valentine's Day. There definitely is a down side.

Ours is Feb 19th and while we’ve not impacted much by Valentines Day, it’s a tough time to travel as it’s usually Feb school vacation week so prices are through the roof.

I guess from living in the US, was always only  3 sports when growing up. Baseball, Football and Basketball.  

 

There was no ice rinks to play hockey on, only ice we ever saw was when growing up when the pond down the street would freeze hard enough to skate on for 4 or 5  days each winter.

 

Other extra sport besides Hockey was Soccer, but that was during the same season at when I was playing Baseball growing up.

 

Even the Hockey season now to me is just like a week or 2 before MLB season starts up, so hockey was never that big of deal for a young boy growing up on the East Coast of the US.

Thank you.  Yes, that’s how I found your report because we will do the same walk as you at Sitka.  So pleased we are visiting this port.

 

The aud to usd exchange rate is awful so doing hikes instead of the expensive tours x 4 in some ports is what I am looking into.  Also, I just discovered Emerald Lake is likely to be frozen whilst we are there (although there are other things to see if we hire a car and drive up rather than the train). Saw a photo of the dough boy yesterday.  They are BIG.  It’s on my list and will note down the Brewing Co.

I may have posted this previously.We cruised to Alaska in May 2008.

We brought winter clothes and they had the highest temperatures to date.


I plan to take layers. 
 

Btw, DH bought Stan last night.  So now I can watch the second season of The Tourist and any other shows you recommend (when I am not madly researching Canada/Alaska)
