Sometimes Hockey

I stare

The implications are not lost

If they win this next couple they’ll have the longest win streak in team history

Such is my focus tonight

Elephant and Rhino have had a day. COVID tests and a PCR swab

New normal eh

As it turns out, these tests are positive. And as it turns out, we are all, thankfully, ok.

We keep our distance.

Physical, not emotional.

These fellas are absolute legends, they keep me on track, pick me up when I’m down, and chip in when we need

That’s something to celebrate.

And so, right now, I enjoy the moment

To think about hockey and forget about life a little bit.

When my reverie is interrupted from two floors up.

Elephant’s voice floats through the ether

Dreamlike

Papa

I’m out of toilet paper

  1. Oh my, Darren!! That is “dis-asstress”!🤪🤪
    It’s nearly as bad as not making a record number of wins for our Flames.💕💕
