Man, I hope the two Democrats win the Georgia run-off elections and the Democrats take control of the Senate. After the long delay to confirm Biden as President-elect, this would be the cherry-on-top of delayed results! Less impactful but no less entertaining, I’m also hoping Team Canada can once again win Gold at the World […]
Free Agency Day in the NHL is normally on July 1 bur with all the Covid weirdness, the date got pushed back to today. The Flames signed Jacob Markstrom, one of the highest rated goalies available which is awesome since my team hasn’t had a true #1 goalie since Miikka Kiprusoff. This is as good […]

It’s crazy to think how much in this photo is now being impacted by […]
So weird to scroll through old pictures and see crowds of people in any of them. This was at the new Mosaic Stadium soon after it opened when they hosted a Rams game as a “test” event…
At a time when people should be minimizing any activities that may result in a preventable trip to the hospital, Shea and I have mixed feelings about seeing Pace get his skateboard out now that spring seems to be here.
