Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Being a Detroiter, I grew up with the CBC broadcasting into my home, side by side with ABC, NBC, and the like. It was a treat to listen to Bob Cole broadcast games on Saturday nite, his quirky accent and homegrown sayings. Ron MacLean, the calm personality next to the outspoken Don Cherry. The Nordiques, the Jets. It was glorious, and is a major part of why I love hockey, and Canada, so much.

Hockey
I started a blog called Ron MacLean dedicated to NHL posts from the 80s and 90s. Follow it, love it, and, if you aren’t a hockey fan, grow to appreciate a golden era.

Dear Mrs. Glotzhober,

Word boxes and when we made snow forts. I also liked Mr. Wizard. I had good friends. And library was borring. I remembered playing ice soccer that was fun! I liked map study too.

The roommates made it that way, of course. Voortman playing Bully on PS2 after work every day and the “Wizard Room.” Rinker and his videos and bike riding. Creeger’s tea and exercise and books and drawl. Adam’s war room and SI subscription, his...

If you feel the urge...
…check out the Hunger Project. It gives those in need of aid the opportunity to help themselves and succeed; not as victims and not with hand outs, but as empowered men and women able to end their own hunger. This is something that has been sorely lacking in international aid since it has existed.
The amount of hurt and suffering in the world can be overwhelming and paralyzing....
