So I'm writing this and it's almost one. I just watched The Big Short with my folks, and should go to sleep pretty soon. My dad asked, "Did any hockey that's relevant to us happen today?" The answer is no, but it reminded me I had to write a Wilderness Walk, which was good, cause I definitely wouldn't have remembered on my own. I have very little connection to what day of the week it is right now, it's amazing.
Anyway. Things have happened. Some of them are even interesting. None of them are relevant if you have the very limited perspective of my father.
The Wild play the Jets tonight, find out what's happening in Winnepeg here. Hopefully they will have Spurgeon back for that game. If not maybe I will write a poem in his honor. Anything is possible.
