April 3, 2022: A Decade
As we got ready for church, I told my son maybe he should wear his Trubisky jersey. Not for old times’ sake, not because we’re still rooting for him or anything like that. No, it’s because my son turned 10 … Continued
March 31, 2022: Eleventh Heaven
Mark Messier. He’s the first #11 that comes to mind; pretty good hockey player. Actually work with someone at the job that has the same exact name. He told us stories about how he would go up to Canada, and … Continued
March 28, 2022: Here Come the Hawks
