I was able to actually fire up one of my old iPods and got most of the divorce era, emo-heavy “Motherfucker” playlist from 2007. Which I’ve now added to Spotify OBVIOUSLY.

However many minutes of TikTok live talking to everyone in the room and he just had to go ahead and milkshake duck. Sigh.

lol, this you?

Taken from the @freep.com IG, credit to Elsa/Getty Images, just BTW. It is such a good photo and credit where due!

People are fucking wild. Like, these hockey players aren’t seated in Congress making or voting on bills? Have a fucking cry over team dynamics and caring about your missing teammate’s kids. I hate this administration and can appreciate an unrelated hockey team at the same damn time. 🙃

OMG literally crying now

What a photo from the Freep

I might cry when they hang one on Dylan

I love that the dudes are getting the plushies and really wish they could have mass produced the happy/sad pierogis instead.

Final form, assumed. Who needs legs anyway? 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

I do feel a little bad that Jack won’t be able to do the “biting the gold medal” pose very well. He’ll survive, I’m sure.

Young gent was away at an ice fishing tournament so I am celebrating solo. (I would’ve probably been dumped from giggling at the lingering sad Makar shots though)

Break some teeth, win some gold.

Depressed Avs are the only ones I even sort of like

Yesssssssss!!!!

Gahhhhhh LFG

We have migrated.

Every time they say 2014 these Olympics my brain determines that was 10 years ago, not 12. I mean, I certainly would not hate a mulligan on some important 2024 things and to have skipped much of 2025… alas

When the beautiful dog tries his best to absolve/relieve your stress

There was no PUT IT IN MY VEINS gif good enough for this.

Exhale (Briefly)

Oh god Tummy hort

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

HOLY FUCK

In a rare karmic move, I put on the Sandi sweatshirt talisman on a non-football Saturday. For Dylan, Quinn, Zach and Kyle. (She’d have gone into the Olympics only knowing one of them, and today they would all be “HER” boys, lol)

OAKLAND COUNTY, THE SEAT OF HOCKEY! Thanks Hellebuyck.

Hey look a good coaching move. (This is, for now, an absolute Dylan Larkin fan page)

Put coffee in a State of Michigan mug (so many players!) and now deciding between putting on some UM or Red Wings gear on as I get out of jammie’s… Michigan covers more bases, but I want Larkin heroics so badly!

Waterford’s own, babyyyy

I’d normally give the young gent some shit for being un-American with his favorite player scoring, but right now, pretty sure I’ve got him beat on that front these days.

Okay maybe I just go back to bed then… 😬

Friends, I was somehow confuzzled by time zones and only just got the TV on. Flags, Eagles, Fireworks, etc!

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

My extremely Detroit area answer is a Tubby’s Pizza Steak

I don’t feel clever, but beat Duke please. That’s all. 💛🏀💙

Dylan Larkin and I attended the same high school and university. I haven’t decided if that’s a good omen or if I should anticipate doom from any/all remote connections to me and my usual luck

I am 51 damn years old and there is still no success in the world that I crave more than making my dad laugh. Which I did a bunch tonight on his birthday call. Greatest man alive, I tell ya.

Came home to breakfast underway, leading to prepping and vacuum sealing 12 ribeyes from a dog-sized whole hunk of meat, having a ribeye dinner cooked for me, and heck, even Wally feels like we have the best Valentine. 💝

Avoided coverage all day and just saw the Malinin performance. Sheeeeeeesh.

Tech support has been in my laptop for 25 mins and they can’t do it either.

When the branding manager’s laptop refuses to install the brand fonts… especially when she is giving a webinar on branding next week. Perfection

I am such a couch rotter during the Olympics. Laundry? Later. Eating? Meh. Give me multiple screens and a sleepy dog, I don’t need to move for hours.

New Year’s Goal Check: Successful Wally solo time while running errands and getting some food.

Really wish they would have flipped the singer responsibilities here

I think Japan had it

Needing a huuuuuuge 4th quarter, ahhhh

The Italian skater is expressive? Well I NEVER.

And now we WBB 💛💙

Skating on the tv, UM basketball smooshing ohio on the phone, Super Bowl?

I’ve never felt more northern and uncool than during Mardi Gras and attendant carnivals and balls and whatnot season. (Do I have any desire to participate or study up? Not really. The feeling is strong, but brief.)
