Just a human. I reply more than I tweet. Husband of wife, father of small people, player of games, reader of books, bringer of awkward, geek of all trades.

@annikadevils They called up a guy from their AHL team to be the 3rd goalie tonight ahead of Anderson, so unless there's some kind of injury and Brind'amour is outright lying about Anderson being able to play, I don't see him back with the Canes next season.

@HowardA_AtLaw @Jay_McGill94 @ActualDemocrats I've had this discusion with some of my family as well. Feeling abandoned by Democrats, but we're still mostly liberal. And Republicans are so corrupt and destructive, that we can't support them in good conscience either.

@TheBrattPack63 I didn't until I read this.

@ok_post_guy @agraybee I love the approach used by Horizon Zero Dawn. I really enjoyed the way they played out the story over the course of the main quest line, and made the lore available through the optional parts of the game.

@jewishmemequeen Not really a meme, but this has made me laugh since I first heard it 20+ years ago...

@annikadevils The problem with the Avs is that diver/faker/BS artist Martin Necas is on their roster, and I just cannot root for that guy to win anything.

@TheFrizz87 Alonzo Mourning. Because I was a Knicks fan back in the day, and Zo had that insane moment with Jeff Van Gundy during the brawl.

@eddiegoerge2019 @dilanesper I've been trying to put exactly this sentiment into words for weeks. Thank you for expressing it far more coherently than I would have been able to manage.

@Wilson__Valdez Nancy Pelosi. Facing him down across the table at a White House meeting during his first term.

@notgaetti John Smoltz splitting his final season between Boston and St. Louis comes to mind.

With his mask from AHL Manitoba immediately after getting traded to and called up by Pittsburgh.

There was the Scott Gomez debacle, and I got to attend an AHL game in Hartford featuring the buried contract of Wade Redden after they banished him.

I'm going with Brian Skrudland, defensive forward who was a hyped-up free agent signing, and got traded away before finishing his first season in New York.

@beccasbraves Fully agree. Let the Mets and Phillies get all the attention while the Braves just play ball.
