@papiblez @ryannovo62 @papiblez hi Tyler! I am the mom of the boy hit by the puck yesterday. Twitter makes for a small world. Just a message of gratitude: my husband told me how you were helpful and called for EMS. Thanks for looking out for my guy!

while it is still dark.

Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.

Having not gotten covid yet feels like I've been hiding in the back of a 2+ year long middle school dodgeball game and the front lines have been THINNED

Anyone else feeling the urge to eat spoonfuls of peanut butter straight out the jar this week or just me?

My 4 year spent significant time today cutting and taping together pieces of paper. When he was finished he declared it a Thanksgiving Skunk and asked I hang it by our fireplace mantle. HECK YES I WILL DO THAT.
