HHOF in Toronto was a tad underwhelming. But traffic wasn’t the nightmare it could’ve been, so that was good.

Haven't been there in a decade. I thought the old Habs locker room bench was the most unique display. Some of the displays were meh. Picture taken with the Cup was the highlight, of course. 2nd such photo for me - Cup was taken to the literal beach where I live in June 2002 on a 4-runner, then was also on display downtown before game #3, the series CAR lost to DET.
I used to enjoy going to Marche in the same building more than the HHOF. Then their quality started to slip.

Day 1 was challenging for the boy. Best 2010s around and he wasn’t blown away. PEP drills kicked his butt, and he was crazy nervous.
Ate dinner with some of the PEP crew which included a scout from the Bruins.
McDavid and Bedard are here tomorrow.

My daughter turned 16 on Friday, but I had her on Sunday to celebrate it. A bunch of the people in my apartment building ended up buying her gifts or gave her money, and some people from the building next door did the same thing. We threw a party for her, but got crashed by a random (drunken) idiot. He pulled out a shank and tried to threaten everyone. I told him to put it away, and if he didn’t he was deep throating his shank. He did it, but tried to say he only did it as a favour to me because we’re both Natives. I kicked him out, and the only reason he listened was because I told him we’re not “nish” brothers. Which in Native culture is enough, especially seeing I was a decade older than he was and to refuse to leave was disrespecting an elder.
My daughter got her license today, and hates it. Because she knows she’s gonna have to drive around her younger (half) sister and step siblings now. Once she gets comfortable driving, she’ll be begging to take a vehicle out.
And then as an addendum, I met a lady and I have no idea how that’s gonna go. She’s not looking for anyone but isn’t against dating. So we’ll see how that goes

Been sick the last week with fever, laryngitis etc so haven't been out of the condo in 4 days. Missed out on my new lineup and been experiencing it vicariously through the photo sessions Andy did for the message boards and discord.
I get the txt messages today from my 'teenage' managers that they want to host my birthday party but need dad to open his wallet and fund it. Now the funny part is that my Facebook is filled with pre-party information before they bothered contacting me. Guess they didn't do a good job coordinating the media. I just wonder if they'll put the money necklace on me so people can staple on the notes to fund my weekend?

Had to switch from the suit to the tropical shirts or Aussie formal vest for the Singha and Ankor commercials in Thai and Khmer. Pay isn't as good but the scenery is much much better
My youngest starts her senior year tomorrow. I'm not sure how I feel about this - she is adamant that I get the hell out of sauna that is Florida, but the GF's youngest has had her first, making the GF a grandma. That makes for some interesting discussion. I had wanted to get the hell out of here and it's just another rope holding me to the region. Bleh.
Yeah I saw the headline. Knowing a basic amount about what he’d done, I’m not gonna celebrate what happened to him in prison and the justice system definitely shouldn’t operate that way … but other prisoners have their own justice and that’s not always a bad thing.
can I just tag along with you to help when need be in your life?

I'll read up on it as a potential second career.
===================================
Hey Buffalonians who still remain there - Mark your calendars!!! Total Blackout coming Monday 8-April-2024 (two Mondays after next Easter). Sabres on a road trip, but should still see it in totality in Dallas. They don't play until the following night, so maybe the Black Goatheads should be worn in honor.
Will be partially observable across the entire USA from ~1:30-3:30. See NASA's website. Arc below is the path of totality.

Lots of pros here today. Perfetti, Barzal, Wright, Firkus, Bedard, McDavid. About 20 pros.
The difference between McDavid and the rest was big.
But, they all screwed up every drill multiple times. Good for my kid to see.

If you read the details then you might want to go Gary Plauché on him yourself.

The boy looked good today. He skated with Drew Daley from the Jr Sabres. Much more confident.
Seeing that the pro are human, in person, was big. Overall, this has been the best hockey experience my son has ever had.

Book: Phil bet over $1B, tried Ryder Cup wager
Phil Mickelson bet more than $1 billion on football, basketball and baseball over the past three decades and even allegedly attempted to place a $400,000 wager on Team USA in the 2012 Ryder Cup in which he participated, according to an upcoming book.

I read that as $1 million and thought "so what?". I re-read that correctly and thought "WTF ??!!??"Book: Phil bet over $1B, tried Ryder Cup wager

Update to this: this ended up being nothing. The band "ended" (it was never back on anyway), and we had to promise to never play the thing again.

Finished The Peripheral last night. Weird book, which I expect from Gibson, but the ending surprised me. Leaving Kentucky today and heading to West Virginia. It's rained over half of the days on our camping trip so far and last night the tent leaked so nobody slept well. I was up until 4 with the storm. Honestly looking forward to getting home and resuming my normal routines
