Oh I forgot to mention. My wife booked a fly fishing trip for Norway next year. We're going to check it out for living purposes anyway.
Damn you, that sounds incredible. I'll need a full breakdown of the trip when you get back. I know very little about the fishing there, but have heard some good things. Sea trout/salmon I assume?

OK, so my brain is mashing posts together because I'm tired, so when I got to this, I legitimately thought "What? The tarpon?"
Only then did it occur to me to re-read the things I had glazed over.

I know Salmon. I'm not sure about anything else. She's used to BC/Alaska fishing from growing up there, so I know she's all about being able to recreate that. Or at least she was until she started doing some cost of real estate and living checks in some tropical islands.
Oh good. I'll know one person.

Are you settled on that? I thought we had an idea of where we wanted to go, but I saw @Chuck Downie doing the globetrotting thing and it got me off of my ass. A visit isn't enough. We've been trying to do multiple weeks in every serious contender. That takes real time.
Fly fishing is definitely my thing
. I've had many "passions" over the years but that's the one that hasn't waned. I've never had (or caught) sturgeon before. How was it?
Have you been there yet? We went this past April for the first time and the place blew my mind with how beautiful it was. We only had time to visit the main island, but that just gives us a good reason to go back again.

We're doing a week in Terceira and Pico in March as part of a larger Portugal trip. First visit for us. But they've been high on my list for a decade or so.
I could absolutely live in Germany, lived there for two years some time back, but it seems to be a bit more difficult than some other places to successfully relocate to.
We did three weeks in Japan last year and loved everything about it. It's a bit more of a reach as a retirement locale, but not impossible.

It’s up there with lingcod as some of the best fish you will ever eat. Smoked takes it to another level. There are crazy rules about catching them here. Huge population below the bonneville dam. The old ones are like 7 feet long.

From Kurz:
"My understanding of the situation is that while the Flyers are fielding calls on him, they’re not interested in just giving him up for nothing to clear that cap space — but they also don’t have any sort of price tag attached to him, either. Ristolainen, 30, is off to a solid start so far this season, and as a right-handed shot with size and snarl, he could very well be a player whose value only goes up the closer it gets to the trade deadline. Any potential return for Ristolainen would depend on how much salary a team would require the Flyers to retain."
Right now they're on target to have $3M in cap room at the TDL, but they also have the option to LTIR Ellis who is now on IR. By keeping him off LTIR they can accumulate cap room, but once you hit the TDL, there's no reason to continue to accumulate cap room for this season - so they'll have the flexibility to retain/take a bad contract back and make other deals.
This is probably why they're happy to slow walk Johansen, if he's off the books they can accumulate cap room and if the arbitrator rules against them then resort to LTIR to clear him off the books.

It was one of the coolest things we ever did. Twenty five countries over a full year, carry on only bags. Planning another trip now!

Was it ever reported who that mystery player was skating at the Flyers rink?

I don't know that we ever got a name (I didn't see one) but there was a report that it was a roster player, so nothing exciting.

Got it as seems odd to be all incognitoito over a roster player.

I read somewhere it was a Japanese prospect named Taro Tsujimoto but I have had difficulty finding information on him other than he plays for the Tokyo Katanas. Anyone have any insight?
