Hi everyone! Whew, has this been one busy week! Work is crazy right now. The baby’s room has finally been painted. I interviewed the Washington Capitals’ Mike Lampman for my new book, which means lots of transcribing to do. I do love this part of the research process of a book though. So many great stories I’ve never heard before, which I assume means readers are going to enjoy immensely as well. Thankfully, we’ve also got a weekend trip to the Eastern Townships planned for Saturday morning. It’ll probably do us all some good to rest with friends and family a few days.

Another thing I’ve got to get started on before the baby arrives is a review of my book since University of Nebraska Press has just informed me it will going to a paperback edition in the fall of 2020, which is great news! They say it means they have confidence the book will continue to sell well, which feels great to hear, although I get the impression the e-mail I received is really just a canned message that has been sent to lots and lots of authors as well. But I’ll finally get the chance to correct those stats that were compiled before the NHL released all of its game summaries, not to mention a few little typos here and there in the rest of the book, so I’m not complaining.

Just a small update this week due to my lack of time to write anything new, funny, creative or interesting. In the articles section, there is a brand new piece on underrated defenseman Len Frig, who played four seasons with the Seals-Barons. Thanks once again to Pete Manzolillo for sending me yet another great article from one of his old game programs from the 1970s. Check it out here in the articles section.

Until next time, stay gold!
