Hi everyone! I’m a bit late posting this week’s update due in part to an extremely busy work and home life that is now just starting to calm down. We’ve been preparing for our son Emmett’s fifth birthday this weekend, so we’ve been running around a lot getting things ready not to mention running back and forth to Costco to pick up Christmas calendars and photos, shopping for Christmas presents, and attending after-hours work gatherings all in the name of getting into the holiday spirit. Yes, December is a wonderful time of year, but it really is the most stressful month.

Anyhow, the presents have all been bought, Emmett’s Zoom-meeting birthday party went well, and all the kids had a good time, the birthday wrap and empty boxes have been put aside. The kids are all tuckered out and sleeping soundly (hopefully for the entire night and won’t be requiring pee breaks or formula at 3 a.m.), which means I can finally get down to updating this site, and in keeping with my son’s “Avengers” birthday theme, I’ve found some appropriate and fitting new material.

First, a new article about the night the Seals ended their inaugural season 15-game winless streak, which pleased coach Bert Olmstead so much that he finally left what the media called his “inner sanctum” and talked to reporters. You can read all about the Seals’ big win, and also about how they were planning on “avenging” an earlier 8-2 loss to Detroit right here.

In keeping with this week’s comic book character theme, we have Dallas Stars legend Mike Modano trying his best to audition for and win the role of Spider Man! I don’t know about you, but I personally love his odds. Don’t take my word for it though. Head on over to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame to decide for yourself.

Hope everyone stays happy and healthy this holiday season. If the universe if willing, I hope to see you all back here again next week! Until next time, stay gold!
