Husband, dad to two kids. Curious, and trying to learn more. Living in Seattle, but still a Canucks fan. Skiing at Baker. Working at MSFT. My opinions are my own.

You know what's even sneakier? The 'Y'. The 'C' is a decoy to pull attention away from the 'Y' and you didn't even notice. QED, they drew it up. Distract them all with a double deflection head injury, and put the puck away in the empty cage.

Simon just isn't giving the Canucks enough credit. That first Chytil goal? They drew that play up. Think about it. Chytil is sneaky. I'll prove it. How would you spell Chytil if you heard it pronounced? Not with a 'C', but that sneaky motherfucker got one in there.

Man, I missed hearing Shorty and Ray calling the game. The kids and I are in the basement watching the game before their bedtime. Hopefully making core memories :) #canucks

Our boiler went out at home so we temporarily don't have hot water or heat, and I have never been more appreciative of Seattle's half assed approach to fall/winter weather.

I'm lucky enough to have both of my kids going to neighborhood schools, and we walk or bike every day. It's a great start to the day!

T. Joseph Mattingly estimates that the 2025 measles outbreak in Texas will cost $90M. Measles is expensive. It's also preventable. Vaccination increases productivity & reduces costs.

I can't explain why lubricant in parentheses is so funny, but it is.

Ride, captain, ride, upon your mystery ship.
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip.
Ride, captain, ride, upon your mystery ship.
On your way to a world that others might have missed.
