my kid has had this theory for years
A wall calendar of Minnesota Wild players posing with puppies. September is Brock Faber and a golden retriever named Lambeau. Faber is out with a skull fracture. Kid added the caption “another piece of evidence that these calendars are cursed”

I'm sorry. Speaking from experience, it's so hard and also sacred in its own way. Sending you comfort and courage.

also, if you don't know, onhockey dot tv carries feeds of all sorts of leagues (with varying success, and you need an adblocker, but it's a great resource)

Pardon me for coming in hot; I was searching KHL and saw this. The camel flag is the flag of Chelyabinsk and the 80 flag is the commemorative flag of 80 years of Russian hockey, being celebrated this season.

kid discovered the dark tower books about the same time they discovered bone machine and absolutely lost their shit over “black wings” (quite rightly)

I may have hockey in my bio but the abolition I'm advocating ain't about abortion

me getting a text from Pete Stauber touting his (a) hockey history, (b) cop history and (c) desire to "put fraudsters behind bars" just goes to show (i) how much money they have to burn, (ii) the wide net they're casting and (iii) just how bad they are at buying lists

There was an improbable and terrible incident between my phone and one of the dog's anal glands yesterday and I'm pretty sure I'll be unreachable forever.

It was a wildfire earlier this year. Started from a branch on a power line (not on our property) and burned about 400 acres on the North Shore of Lake Superior.

They bickered about what to name it, pretend-fighting over names from each of their family trees. They each had a ridiculous middle name and insisted it was perfect to pass on. It's one of our favorite memories, seeing them joke together

When my BIL graduated from college, we drove spouse's grandmas to campus together. One Norwegian, one Swedish, they did not get along. With both of them sitting like a little salt-and-pepper set in the enormous backset, spouse told them I was pregnant with our first child. They were delighted.

Other kid leaned how to do an oil change on this car, and the intricacies of the master cylinder, and then was SO pissed when Covid meant she couldn’t drive it to her prom.
A girl and a man are standing next to the car with its hood up. They’re both wearing jeans and and tshirts and she has a baseball cap and a pony tail. It’s a sunny day in the woods and they don’t know they’re getting their picture taken.

When I came back from Russia, my fiancé picked me up from the airport in this car. We gave Paul Wellstone a ride home from the Winter Carnival in this car. We drove this car on the High Holy Days like Labor Day and going to the county fair. The kid in the tux lost his first tooth in this car.

the tow guy said “poor ol girl” when he saw it
the burned out totaled husk of a 1970 Chrysler Newport Custom on a tow flatbed. Burned trees, live trees and a gorgeous blue sky

farewell to this car today
1970 Chrysler Newport Custom parked in a driveway in the woods. A young man dressed in a rented tux and aviators is leaning on the car, looking sharp.

Honestly I'm here for it; Mary Poppins is a terror in the books and P.L. Travers cried with rage at the movie premiere because the adaptation was so saccharine.
