This is the first time the US has won hockey gold since 1980. Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal.

The last player cut from the 1980 team was ... Jack Hughes.

New conversation starters to get my attention:

"So what's your thoughts on trying the double peel."
"Line's good."

For the love of God, @phlaimeaux.bsky.social just say what the cheeses on the plate are. It's only two of them. He can't stop you. Just say their names! End this madness.

More evidence that WDYDY is the center of the universe. The other day, I saw an old video of @phlaimeaux.bsky.social doing "I sent the text to the person the text was about." Today I texted Happy Birthday to a guy I know. He is a twin. He replied to me passing my sentiments on to his twin brother.

Gotta respect the hustle of a local nonprofit which posted "Congrats to our CEO for being featured on PR Newswire" and linked to a press release they submitted (and probably paid for).

Went to get some stacking chairs for a non-profit tabling outside our theater on Halloween. Misjudged how snug they were stacked. Top bar went right into my face. Black eye.
