I thought I was bad at jump rope. This dog is way better than me.

@JasonIsbell Did you read this guy’s bio? Wow.

@charlieo_conn People make too big a deal of this at wing. It’s not the same as D. Playing the off side puts the puck on forehand on a breakout (when you are facing backwards) and sets you up for a one timer in the offensive zone. And receiving puck on backhand in neutral zone is NBD

@SnipingJimmy I think it will help…help them get a better draft pick the next two years. They will need to draft some solid D that can play those minutes. Bonk looks like a maybe, at worst a good replacement for Risto on second pair. But I think they need a true 1D.

@charlieo_conn It’s probably worth noting that Kolosov is from Belarus not Russia, though he plays in the KHL and travels to/from Russia - he plays for Minsk (Belarus).

@BarDown @TSN_Sports @justinbieber $20 mill

@DylanRobillard_ I think you are right. Staal gives them six NHL D. They can easily sit him as 7th (or even trade him or Seeler) given the contracts, should there be a surplus of kids ready to make the jump full time. I think they will rotate these kids in/out though.

[Scott Parker @SDP_At_Large]

@billmeltzer YES.

[Scott Parker @SDP_At_Large]

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers Curious if Cates and Laughts switch spots there. They def have some flexibility with Coots back in the lineup.

After the final episode of “Seinfeld” in 1998, Jerry Seinfeld didn’t know what to do next with his life.

With the success of the show, he had options.

“What do I do?” he asked a friend.

“Well what’s been the best experience you’ve had so far?” the friend asked.

Seinfeld said,

Two things:

First, writing—“I just see something and I write it down—I like a big, yellow legal pad—and once I get that pad open, I can’t stop…the next thing I know, the day is gone.”

Second, performing stand-up—“I just love the life of it,” Jerry said. “I love the joy of hearing laughs and making jokes.”

So, despite the cool and lucrative opportunities to further an acting or screenwriting career in Hollywood, Seinfeld moved back to New York City where he returned to writing jokes by day and performing in comedy clubs by night.

Takeaway 1:

“For anyone trying to discern what to do with their life,” the author Amy Krouse Rosenthal said, “PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO. That's pretty much all the info you need.”

Pay attention to what you can pay attention to so that, as Seinfeld put it, “the next thing you know, the day is gone.”

Takeaway 2:

After investing 9 years into creating the 9 seasons of the show, Seinfeld returned to being a standup comedian.

He made an estimated $38 million from just the last season of the show—when he had a boatful of money and unlimited options, he went back to the thing he loved when he had little money and few options.

It made me think of the parable of the fisherman and the businessman:

In a small coastal village, there is a fisherman who owns a small row boat. One afternoon, after fishing all morning, he returns to shore with his boat full of fish.

A vacationing businessman sees the fisherman and is impressed, “How long does it take you to catch so many fish?”

“Oh, just a couple of hours,” the fisherman says.

The businessman immediately sees a business opportunity. He offers to invest money in the fisherman—enough to buy a bigger boat and to set up his own company supplying fish to every restaurant in the village.

Fisherman: “And then what?”

Businessman: “We’ll set up a production plant and distribute fish to restaurants around the world.”

Fisherman: “And then what?”

Businessman: “Eventually the business will be so big that we’ll sell it for a huge sum of money.”

Fisherman: “And then what?”

Businessman: “You’ll have so much money that you’ll be able to do whatever you want. You can retire, move to a house by the sea, and fish as much as you want.”

The fisherman was confused, “Isn’t that what I already do?”

It’s just a reminder: the ability to do what you want for as long as you want is priceless and, often, inexpensive.

@davegisaac @CapFriendly Agreed. Good chance to buy low on someone with upside and see if it pans out.

@heatdaddy69420 @espn Oof that’s not well done. I would ask if it’s AI but I’ve seen better work by AI before.
