" All that I need is the air that I breathe And all that I need are things I don't need And all that really matters is what matters to me And who of you are like me? If I was to smile and I held out my hand If I opened it now would you not understand? Because you know if I'm to benefit I'll do everything that I can And who of you are like me?" Who of you are like me and know these guys?

Mendon Wok and some Genny Ice. Loooove the IPAs. You most certainly would not like my homebrews. I'm switching up to iT Black IPA for the rest of the night!

I have an acquaintance who was convinced that the mice he was catching and releasing where the same mouse so he started painting tails. Most of them returned. It sort of became an experiment taking them farther away and observing results. He keeps the notebook with the results in his cabinet of curiosities. He was always an eccentric fellow.

Every single friggin one.

ROR is fine. Everyone has baggage. We overcome it by acknowledging it. We move on. We win Cups. Right?

I've been on the fence. Leaning towards ROR simply because I feel he has the room to grow into the role. I could also see it as a plus for Jack. I could also see ROR at C bring good for Jack as well.

As I contemplate my current state of mind, it occurs to me how fascinating I find radicalism. We are all radical in every single aspect of our daily lives without even realizing/acknowledging it. Facebook is one GD radical setting. Water cooler talk? Golf course yada yada? Sitting in the hot tub with our own self resolve to do the justice that our minds tell us is just? Yep. We're all guilty.

I'll bet he insists on homemade beef gravy and the squeakiest of cheese curds.

Nice work here. I love it when someone gets all fired up to look at numbers. Based on what you have here I'd give Lehner somewhere around Reimer's money at a much shorter term. I wonder what the sticking point is? Term? Money?

"My Shadow's shedding skin and I've been picking scabs again. I'm down digging through my old muscles for a clue. I've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could have been. I've been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions."

Admissible evidence: 1. Overall performance 2. Injury/illness 3. Length of service 4. Overall contribution to success or failure of the team 5. Special qualities of leadership or public appeal 6. Performance and salary of any player alleged to be comparable Good luck, Robyn.

So what's the benefit of filing? Leverage? Lord help us if either one thinks they're irreplaceable. Its possible to burn a bridge in hockey? Right? I think both of them are nuts.

I'm wearing a harness. Which is of little consolation knowing the contractor has no egress plan. You should have seen how they treated us 20 years ago. My buddy and I climbed one of the columns at river level all the way to bridge deck 20 yrs ago. I will be heartbroken when it's gone. I know this old gal intimately. I'll second this. I've always been partial to the elevated view. I think the guys I've been trying to keep off my property at hunting season have a drone. They're trying to find a way to sneak in and shoot the monster buck I have. Maybe I should get my own drone to take pics of their drone to show the sheriff when I catch them next time?

My first holiday in many years where I wasn't under duress due to to a failing parent. No fireworks. No big party. Just a cooler of beer and hangin out with my FIL smoking some salmon. I got all my personal smoking done before he got here ;).

Looks like the Amerks are shaping up to be much better next season. It would be good for Linus to have an improved supporting cast if he is indeed headed for the A. He learned to be a workhorse last year. Now he needs to experience the wins.

My brothers and I laid our mother Elaine to rest this morning. She succumbed to her illness Sunday afternoon. Before I tell you a bit about her, I should mention Fred. They were never just Fred. They were never just Elaine. They were always Fred AND Elaine. When Dad died in September I knew in my bones that she wouldn't be far behind. This is a gift handed down to me from her. She always knew what was going to happen and was right most of the time. She had a very calm and thoughtful approach to honoring the deceased because as she made clear, "They're right here beside you if you'd take the time to look." I never knew anyone so absolutely head strong as Mom. Honesty was a given. Truthfulness was a must. She was love in its purest form. Giving up was never an option. She could literally will things to happen. She had wanted quiet as she grew closer. A few hours before she made her transition the power went out. She took her last shallow breath only twenty seconds before the power came on again. I knew Saturday that she was close. I could distinctly smell the coconut spray shampoo in my home. Hospice had given it to her a few weeks ago when we enrolled her. She absolutely loved it. It was a bright spot for her as things got worse. I smelled it like she was in the room with me. She was never the type that wanted to die but felt Fred's presence everyday. She told me a few weeks ago how she believed he was pulling on her to have her back in his arms. The last conversation I had with her was the prior Sunday just before I headed back south. I thanked her for all the things she'd ever done for me. Without looking at me she said "didn't do much". I spent the next five minutes proving her wrong. How could you be raised by the most honest and sincere person and not share those qualities to some degree? She did eventually smile. All my brothers in the room fought back their tears. It was the very thing they had wanted her to know. She knows now. She has access to anything and everything she's ever wanted to know. She knows how much I love her. She knows that she has restored my faith. Thanks to you Mom I now understand that the cancer that took your life was merely the vehicle that brought you to death. Although it seems that death is final, I realize that it is only the middle chapter of your life. A life you still live. Most importantly, you are back in Fred's arms. Thank you for everything. I'll love you for eternity, Mom.

I'm curious if you're looking at actual game play or looking at stats? I'm pretty sure he had the most saves in the A. Whatever. Stats, right? This kid has amazing rebound control. Swallows pucks like Hungry Hippos swallow marbles. He has shown to me that he can handle no. 1 duties. He's a guy that can do back to backs with no dip in performance. He also make SO saves. Yep.Oh ya. Kasdorf. He'll be lucky to hold a spot in Cleveland. If you see him called up to the A you'll know you're short at goalie.

I think about someone that can't stop tripping over his own feet.

"I know what winter's about Too many nights Not enough days. I watched the birds fly south and no, I don't wait. Last words out of my mouth? "Stay out of my way." And "I'm in a wrong place. Maybe it's the things we don't say?"

"This little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me. I'm going to let it shine to guide you safely on your way. On your way home....." ".....*25,065* days is long enough... You're goin' home...."

I like you're line of thinking. Don't just it. it to pieces. Anyways hospice has been wonderful for her and us. She absolutely wants to die at home and that's exactly where it going to happen. Her few weeks of it that is. This is a story of how wonderful hospice really is. https://news.google.com/news/amp?caurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2017%2F06%2F14%2Fhealth%2Fhospice-julianna-snow-heaven-over-hospital-erpise%2Findex.html#pt0-238808

Indeed. Cancer is a that needs to have its ads kicked. The hospice nurse doesn't expect Mom to be here by Monday. Gruesome. Unjust. I had a fit of rage and cursed God and the angels for making her suffer this cruel indignity. I've been through this with close friends but seeing your mother's light go out has soured me completely. I'll never have faith again. Ever.

Nice!

Good idea to rest up. When is ladies night in Dublin? Use that hair while you have it man. Don't let me down.

Uh. I can imagine you are struggling with driving, Dude. Weren't you wasted like 4 hours ago?
