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 […]
Trump looks like he is gasping for air pic.twitter.com/4k2v4Jxlir — Brennan Murphy (@brenonade) October 5, 2020 There’s a lot of controversy about Trump, his Covid diagnosis, and what is the “appropriate” reaction to the serious illness of such a divisive figure. Now, normally, most people would not wish death on anyone else unless they […]
Hard to believe Oasis’ “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” album is 25 years old being released in the fall of 1995. Oasis was basically a one-hit wonder in North America for most people but I was fortunate to be in England in fall 1995 on a University exchange which was during the height of the […]

Some players have now spent nearly three months in their respective “bubbles” with no direct contact with families, limited options for food and entertainment, and various […]

This video has some good insights into modern politics and especially in light of current battles over seating Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg’s replacement. It looks specifically at some of the reasons why liberals struggle against conservatives who are less likely to be bound to rules and precedent in their pursuit of power.
Okay, getting to one of the top o’ mind topics mentioned in my list yesterday – a new surprise album from Tyler Childers was released the other day. It features eight instrumental fiddle tunes then a single “regular” song with lyrics calling for more kindness and understanding among citizens including many who listen to Childers […]
My parents dropped off a very cool housewarming gift the other day – a Century Family Farm plaque our family received on the 100th anniversary of my great-great grandfather homesteading our family farm in 1883 – framed in barn boards from that same farm. We got the plaque in 1983 (I think the same year […]
