That's better than having barn swallows build a nest on top of your front door, forcing you to take your dogs out through the garage door for a month.

This is Henry. He’s crushing his hydrotherapy session but absolutely refuses to let go of his emotional support duck. They’re paddling through it together. Hearts for him

Amazing to have played so well with so many 3rd and 4th string guys. As a sign of solidarity, I won't wear a mouthpiece the rest of this season. Heal up well, Branch (and the rest)!
