Hi everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves a wonderful Canada Day or Independence Day, depending on where you call home. I had a nice, relaxing weekend in the Eastern Townships, where my son Emmett, my wife and I got to take in a small parade in the town of Hatley. Emmett missed out on the free popsicles they were handing out, but we got him a sno-cone and he was pretty happy. Then the sugar and lack of sleep got to him in mid-afternoon and he had a massive meltdown in the parking lot. Good times. Other than that little hiccup, it was actually a pretty nice weekend.

It’s gonna be a quick update this week, since the Currier clan has lots of plans for the weekend, and I’m going to be busy getting next week’s Seals Hall of Fame induction profiles ready. I did want, however, to leave you with something new for you to read over this weekend, and so I’ve added a new article that captures the spirit of that horrible 1970-71 season where the Seals finished dead last with a mere 45 points. It’s an interesting editorial from the Oakland Tribune’s Ed Levitt, who wrote many great pieces about the Seals, mostly from a behind-the-scenes point of view rather than descriptions of game action. You can read it over in the articles section, as usual. Hope you enjoy it as you try to beat the summer heat, which has become rather unbearable here in the Nation’s Capital.

Until next time, stay gold!
