Husband and girl dad, living life in a blue enclave of a red state. 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇮🇪

Mainly here for hockey memes and pics of cats in boxes.
Well,... If it's any consolation, I was there, and it seemed like both teams had fun.

Drove up from Cleveland for the game. What a great night! One of the most exciting hockey games I've attended in my life!

I'm not a Red Wings fan at all, but I can't help but feel like Hockeytown deserves a PWHL franchise. Heck, I might even get season tickets & make the drive up to Detroit for it

Such a great game, and an awesome evening at Little Caesars Arena! I've never seen so many tweens that excited about any sport. The arena camera crew did an amazing job keeping everyone engaged by showing people holding up signs, dancing, and cheering for their team.

PWHL team for Hockeytown!!!

Thanks, peace and blessings to you and yours.

I host Christmas Eve every year (numbers vary, but usually about 9 of us, as is the case this year), and even though it's family, I still stress out about making everything just right. This year, I've let that go and am just going to be present.

Looks great to me!

This is the extent of our decorating. Once the presents are wrapped, they'll go on the table around the tree.

This is going to ruin the tour.... especially during football season.

Misery loves company. I was ragging on Buffalo (the city) the other day, and my husband reminded me that we live in Akron, which is basically Buffalo with less snow.

Would be a better game if the officials weren't giving beer league vibes. Terrible calls both ways, including the "penalty" that lead to Ottawa's second goal.

There really isn't anything worse than being a Jackets fan.

I almost bought a bread machine at the thrift store today just to knead bread. I forgot how big those things are. The last time I owned one, I had a bigger kitchen lol So for now, at least, I’ll continue to knead my bread the old-fashioned way- with the KitchenAid that lives behind the coffee maker.

You obviously drink better champagne than I. Mine almost always have a plastic stopper, which can leak of stored on its side.

Yeah, Garp was my gateway to Irving. Still my favorite book and one of my top ten movies.

Different strokes for different folks. That's one of my favorite John Irving novels.

I've read almost all his novels. I'm currently working my way through them in publication order. Currently reading "A Prayer for Owen Meany."

Am I the only one troubled by champagne being stored on its side?

My husband and his sister have a tradition of watching the dog show every US Thanksgiving Day. She was the first to realize it was the wrong one because she knew which dog won this year lol

They really should have put the Royale Tiger Towel Paper Towel logo at center ice.

I hope their fans like the names and logos.

Can you imagine the "welcome" he's going to get on the road if/when they actually play him? I just hope Vegas comes to their senses before December 1st.
