My youngest just texted to inform me that she and her bf are “on the road” to his family’s Thanksgiving.
It’ll be the first time without her at my holiday table. Gonna go cry now…..

@JefferyFasching I’m so sorry. I really enjoyed talking with your Dad about all the places he’d been . Please give your Mom a hug from me…❤️❤️❤️

"Tkachuk" is the most appropriately onomatapoetic name in the history of hockey.
'Cuz that's the sound it makes when you get high-sticked.

@sherman_news This is so much bullshit. Did they take into account kids who are “Jr., II,” etc., or those who have always gone by a nickname? I was known as Meri all through school - a name NOT on my birth certificate……
Further, does the Kansas Legislature not have bigger fkn issues???🙄

As my bestie-for-the-restie and I are moving into my parent’s house (my childhood home), we have found some real treasures.
This is the best.
I’m fairly certain it was given to Mom after my birth at St. Margaret’s (1967); I know her hands held this, touching every bead.❤️✝️🙏🏻

[Meredith Relph Odell @RelphGirl]

Haven’t been a NEW journalist for a long time, but I can attest that we veterans of the late-night newsroom smell of coffee, stale cigarettes, adrenaline, vending machine “food” and booze. I salute all the real MVPs!

‘Member when we played at SECherokee and Kendall’s PATs & field goals had the ball ending up in the HIGHWAY? (that venue continues to haunt me after a tumble down the stretch in the 300m hurdles. Pretty sure I STILL have cinders in my knee and 🍑.)
