@Mauve_matelot Oof. He died last February. Kind of blunt, but it is what it is. Are you off by a year?

@LiseL "Too cold to snow" MY EYE!

"Dearest Gwendolyn,
Our battle against the Covid rages on, but by the grace of our Lord we have them on the retreat. The men have successfully won the day in Congestion Valley and only pockets of resistance remain. They still have stubborn forces dug into the flanks of Mt. Fever and Mt. Migraine, but we plan to charge those today. May we be successful! With luck, I shall be home for James, Jr.'s birthday.

My love to you and your mother,

Sgt. James Cell
143rd Immune Response Brigade"

@MotherDucker I've been congested so that is interfering with my sense of smell, but not more so than any other cold.

@BillieBun A positive test result. Congestion. Body aches. Low fever. Generalized disenchantment with my book sales (although that may be unrelated).

Covid: 0/5 stars do not recommend.

I have now joined the ranks of billions of other humans worldwide, in that I have now tested positive for Covid. Took a few years, but it finally caught up with me.

This is an appreciation post for my coworker who came to work sick last week with Kroger Generic Respiratory Virus and gave it to me as an early present for my birthday week.

What a guy.

Anytime you get told your technical problem is getting escalated to level 2, you know you're well and truly fucked.

@Treebugz I hope the league does well enough to expand West. Colorado is such a hockey state that I think it would do very well here.

@Treebugz Reminds me of when the NHL lockout happened the same year we got a CHL team. So much fun!

@Treebugz It's nice to see a decent amount of fans in the stands too. They're getting a real treat of a game tonight.

@Treebugz I hope by next season these women get real logos instead of cut-and-paste lazy designs.

@Treebugz Yeah it is. I'm automatically a Tor fan because of Jesse Compher. I bet the NHL adopts that shorthanded goal rule within a couple years.

Anyone else watching Tor vs NY in the PWHL tonight? Did you know they are streaming PWHL games live on YouTube free? #cosopuck

Anybody else feel incredibly cheated when your cutie orange won't peel neatly?

I left my lunch at home in the fridge in case anyone wants to bring me something.

I got my website repaired and rebuilt (still a work in progress), so now I can restart the ole blog. Ianthealy.com/author if you wanna follow it.
