I'll take 'things you hate to see' for $200, Ken.

That call came from sometime with whom I was battling with for a roster spot on a Junior roster. That he reached out to me, invited me into his family -- his family "unofficially adopted me" (I moved in with them for part of my second Junior year) -- is one reason I still consider Winnipeg home.

24 years ago, I was living in a hotel room in Winnipeg. On a Monday morning in October, I got a phone call: "It's a family holiday. Nobody should be alone on a family holiday. Come over to the house this afternoon for dinner."

Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. (Our Canadian friends and family.)

WTF is going on? Maybe they should have moved to KC when Ralston tried to kick them out.

Would you agree that I've harped on it for a couple seasons?

And several Omaha passes through danger zones in the OZ were victimized by Baxter Ice on a 90-degree day. IDK... a hop, or was it timing? Also... missing a wide open net and hitting a couple posts.

I felt UNO03 was very good on his DZ covers, placement, and awareness. ... something we hadn't seen from anyone the past couple years.

I'm considering workshopping/play-testing posts over here -- with the cool people -- before I post them on that other place.

That parking spot has been saved.
