April 23, 2022: Sharing is Caring
The beat goes on… It’s funny when I see people I haven’t seen in a minute. Maybe that minute has been a couple months, maybe longer; maybe it’s only been a few weeks. I ask them what’s going on; they … Continued
April 9, 2022: Boys’ Night
It doesn’t happen much; maybe it should happen more regularly. Life gets busy man… no excuse. Well, these “boys” I still do see on a regular basis, except it’s on a family level. When I see my father, it’s with … Continued
April 5, 2022: Decision Day
Well, it was D Day, or Decision Day, for both the UC teams on Tuesday evening. By virtue of the Magic beating the Cavs, the Bulls clinched a playoff spot. By virtue of the Predators beating the Wild, the Blackhawks … Continued

March 22, 2022: Deadline Moves
At this point in the season, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise to see the Blackhawks move some players at the trade deadline. If you told me this at the start of the season… it’s been a really crappy … Continued
March 8, 2022: Taking a Back Seat
I’ve been looking forward to Tuesday night. I had bought my father and brother tickets to the Blackhawks game for Christmas; we’d be back in the building after all that COVID stuff. We haven’t always done it, but I think … Continued
March 3, 2022: Remembering When
For a minute on Thursday night at the UC, things seemed normal for the Blackhawks. Seeing Toews, Kane, Keith, and Hammer all back together on the ice sure did bring back some good memories. All that was missing was Hossa, … Continued
February 28, 2022: Aqua Baby
We’ve always tried to get our son into different things, wanting him to check out everything that’s out there, and see what he likes. My wife signed him up for “Aqua Babies” back when he was about 18 months old. … Continued
