congrats! What were you playing? I once won 5K in one hand of Caribbean Stud in Punta Cana. Paid for almost my entire trip. I suspect you were at the hold ‘em tables though….

Just binged the ten episode mini-series, Maniac, on Netflix. Jonah Hill, Emma Stone and Sally Field. It’s a sci-fi series…sort of a blend of Dark Mirror and Squid Games. Jonah Hill was surprisingly good playing multiple different characters. Emma Stone was awesome. Very interesting plot. It was very good, IMO.

JFC man! My heart would implode. I’ll look into Lucy’s though. Although I think delivery of nicotine pouches to VT is currently not allowed, as I have tried to order from other websites (at half the cost of buying tins from the gas station).

Interesting. I might give those a shot.

Just watched the movie The Adam Project with my wife and kids the other night. Ryan Reynolds was pretty good in it as usual, and it was a pretty enjoyable movie. As a family, we struggle to find movies that work for both my 14 year old son and my 10 year old daughter. All of us enjoyed this one. I recommend.

To me it’s like having a strong cup of coffee. I’ve never been a regular smoker, but there are times in my life where I would keep a pack of Marlboros in the cabinet and it would last me 6 months. I haven’t had a cigarette in almost 5 years. I definitely used to enjoy chewing tobacco (Skoal), but haven’t done that in over 20 years. This seems to be a fairly safe alternative to both, but I still don’t think it’s good for my body.

I used to crush some Skoal back in my late high school - college days. Yes. Top semi pro box in Canada. Juniors is 17-21. Some of our players (more from our senior team) have been drafted into the NLL. What’s your favorite ZYN flavor?

Really? I’ve read that it restricts the blood vessels. Causes elevated blood pressure. What’s your top 3? Mine are Spearmint, Wintergreen and Citrus. 😂

I know…I know…I’m an idiot. Nicotine is really, really bad for you. I coached a junior A indoor lacrosse team up in Ottawa for a few weeks this summer. One of the other coaches was popping those ZYN pouches. I tried one finally, freaking loved it, and just started buying them after that. I’ve been going on a month, and I still only do 3-4 3mg pouches per day. I’ve heard of other people who constantly need to have 2 6mg pouches in their mouth all day long. I’m thinking I’ll probably quit soon. Anyone else get down with some ZYNies? If so, anyone quit and experience the withdrawal? I’ve read that it’s pretty crappy.

Don’t you want to hear about the nature/severity of Bishop’s injury before you think about moving possibly our best boundary corner to safety? Edwards is week to week. Yeesh!

No question, but hasn’t Browning been the holder for Bass during OTAs/TC?

I wasn’t overly concerned initially. Even after seeing a few false reports (trolls) about the nature/severity of Cole’s injury on social media. The report was that his arm was heavily wrapped (I assumed ice), and that he left the field but remained at practice. These were some promising “clues” to me. Given that nothing has been made public, I’m growing a bit more worried. Especially with the day off today.

Yeah, those housewives shows are low-grade garbage, IMHO. Just for the record, before I get lamb-basted here, I don’t condone or encourage ANY cruelty to animals. 😂 I am a dog person too though. 😊

My wife watches that show in the guest bedroom with the door closed. I can’t stand to even listen. Sounds like a bag of cats in the dryer. 😖🤮

One of my friends who’s a few years older than me (around 50) is doing Ozempic. He told me he had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and that may be true, but I think he just wanted to shed some weight. He ended up losing around 30 pounds in just under a year. He told me that the medicine essentially makes him nauseous when he eats (and sometimes when he just thinks about food), and often he needs to vomit after meals. I found this to be very weird and a little bit alarming. He said when he knows he is going to have a big meal such as out to dinner with his wife or going to a BBQ he needs to skip a dose. I don’t know about all this, but who am I to judge. He said he feels the best he has felt in 20 years.

I meant that “performance art” stuff like CdS and Blue Man Group isn’t usually my thing. 😂 Butt head.

I kind of hated Vegas the last time I visited in the summer time. Just too hot to enjoy anything. The one thing that I did enjoy was eating a crap ton of edibles and going to see the Cirque du soliel Beatles show. I went bc my wife really wanted to see it, but it ended up being incredible.

Hot off the press!

Gin and tonic or gin and grapefruit juice is my go-to summer time cocktail.

If I drink more than 8 or 9 gin & tonics that just means that I need to drive with one eye closed so the lines aren’t blurry.

I love to eat roast duck. I order it almost every time I see it on the menu. If I could I’d clobber a few of those suckers over the head with a tire iron to take them home and cook them. The little ones are so damn cute though. These 2 little buggers (no mama duck in sight) were crossing the road from the woods to a pond. I wonder what they were even doing in the thickly forested area across the road. Could that be where their nest is? What do baby ducks eat?

HFBD Boyst! 🍻🎉

I would prefer to be in the stadium for every single game. Given that I live in Vermont and have two kids that play winter sports (hockey & ski team), however, it is almost impossible to make it to more than one game per season. If I lived closer I would most definitely have season tix.
