I had not scored in my entire college hockey career. So in my last game as a senior, Marino Amuroso put one on my stick just like this. Exact same result minus goalie intervention.

New England having another blizzard and again I'm feeling left out

These really have been the drone Olympics

Why isn't there a score bug on this NBC hockey broadcast?

All I did was sit on a couch listening to Brandi Carlisle while watching Bridge on the River Kwai and I'm exhausted this morning. I don't know how you all do it

Oh man www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/18/m...

I think I would've liked to be at Target center but I'm glad we were able to babysit so son and DIL could go. That's a lesson for Boomers. We had OUR time and it was good. This is THEIR time.

Brandi Carlile was magical tonight at Target Center. She talked about how much she loves Minnesotans and I believe her. My review of the joyous show (gift link):

The artists are our generals because the actual generals -political leaders - turned out to be utter chicken shits

Anybody getting anything on The Current 's stream?

Amy is like a character created by Tina Fey

I'd love to see a list with the family income of every Olympic athlete.

There is baseball on my TV. Life is good.

Did a couple of DoorDash deliveries (first time in a year) on the way home from the Timberwolves game because I thought maybe it's food for people too afraid to go out b/c ICE. There's just no infrastructure to do much more in the east metro 'burbs for the resistance like in Mpls and StP.

We'll be listening to Brandi Carlisle via The Current tonight because we're babysitting junior grandson in Lake Elmo so his parents can go to -checks notes- Brandi Carlisle.

I hereby withdraw my reluctance to give up Randle and mcdaniels in a Gianis trade.

Randle is useless

Is Mcdaniels playing high?

It's pathetic Gobert still can barely make the rim on free throws Spectacularly awful.

We have a scoreboard, Ray!

Didn't get - or try to get - Springsteen tickets. I figure I'll put on some of his albums, put a small picture of him I can barely see at the end of the hall and drink $165 worth of hooch in an uncomfortable chair instead

It's hard to imagine there are kids watching the Olympics two-person bobsled and thinking, "someday I'm going to be a pusher who spends the whole trip crunched over looking at my crotch and seeing absolutely nothing all the way down the track."

They really said ‘one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish’ #stoplightparrotfish #blueparrotfish #parrotfishjungle #parrotfishcapitaloftheworld #coralcitycamera

Lovely story but a great reminder that the South, particularly Alabama, is subhuman when it comes to the treatment of dogs www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

Come on, little blood clot. You can do it!

I think public radio and PBS has been better since it no longer owed its existence to a corrupt U.S. government.

Why didn't you tell me Steve Sack was still drawing?

After 2 weeks off, it's hard for me to get excited about the Timberwolves again. Hopefully that will change.

Please tell me Megan Keller isn't MAGA

I decided to go for a nap in the third period. I am comfortable with that decision

I guess I'm rooting for USA but I think there are MAGA's on that team so I'd be fine with Canada winning

My dentist and hygienist are not afraid to declare Trump is a racist dictator and ICE is the Gestapo and now I'm planning to go 3-4 times a year.

I guess I'll never understand curling. That looked like the Swiss were kicking ass and then the US was declared the winner.

KARE says Woodbury got 7-8" of snow, which is bullshit

Curling is the pre-eminent take-your-hearing-aids-out sport.

I can't say enough about the incredible job MPR News is doing despite the newsroom having one hand tied behind its back by its billionaire president. And you don't have to wait for a truck from Iowa to get the news. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Someone in St. Paul doesn't know how CoCoRaHS works

The biggest crock of shit on the planet is the assertion there's been a drawdown. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

.44" precip in Woodbury. 4.1" #mprweather

4 neighbor driveways snowblowed. All members of the resistance. Triple Jameson's now

❤️

Woodpecker working on my treated ash. Hmmm.

A good snowy afternoon for a Robert Duvall film festival. First up: Tender Mercies, which leaves Prime in 11 days.

Physical therapy on the new knee done after 2 1/2 months. I may be ready for opening day after all

Finished out of the medals but has inside track for butt sniffing glory.

People in my feed seem to spend a lot of time at concerts. Then I look at ticket prices in the Strib "things to do" section and think "I gotta get a trust fund too."

$100 a ticket? Seriously? www.startribune.com/new-chanhass...

What the hell is this in the PiPress?
