The perfect anti-Christmas...
We drove the half mile to my sister's house in our pajamas, feasted on hot dogs and watched How to Train Your Dragon.
Mom died 22 years ago today. This time of year has lost all sense of pleasure for me. I am now 100% Grinch.

Let me just throw this tidbit about the Canucks game at you in case you already haven't heard it and jumped for joy.
4 goals for the Wild, and a shutout for their 4th string goaltender in the Canucks first division loss.
Worse shutout loss in 2+ years too for them and.....Wild are 4-0 in the past four home games against Vancouver, outscoring the Canucks 21-6 with nine power-play goals.
Visiting depends on my aunt really. I'm trying to get two birds with one stone, she's planning on visiting my Gramps up in "The Queen City" of Virginia, so I want to get out there at the same time.
Not sure when she is going yet, but if I plan it right I'll have some days down south near the cities and then go up north.
When I do visit, I'll bring you and your wife some Walleye swag.
Sad to hear its still been a trying time, but I would expect it to be especially when everything isn't all sorted out yet. When my Dad died they sorted shit out for what seemed ages, as he didn't have a will and at the time I think everything went to the son...and I was six. So....you had all that to deal with.
Did she leave a will? I hope she did to help you guys sift through things, otherwise it'll just take a bigger toll on your wife if she's the one that has to deal with all of it.
I tease Electrohead about being a reason for our insane losing streak at the beginning of the season.
Every game he wore his Nabokov jersey to (he's a sharks fan), they lost and one night I just told him "dude, its the jersey".
Now he doesn't wear it and I believe has 4 wins under his belt, not so bad eh?
My Torpedo Yaroslavl 2002 jersey is 2-0...part of me never wants to wear it again in fear its undefeated streak will be broken.
I still need to get a new wild jersey, I have the first one they ever put out but its wayyyyy too small, and I have a Kuba one (the old green one found it on ebay in college for 30 bucks) but its tight and all the new ones cost eleventy billion dollars.
So, unless I have a spare almost 200 bucks lying around (which at the moment I don't) no jersey for me.
Plus, Boogaard left and that's who I would have wanted, but with NHL.com you can't get old players on your jersey, which makes no sense.
Right now it would probably be between Brunette, Clutterbuck, Koivu and Cullen because he's from Virginia.
