If a player has “every right to go for it” then it’s not even a foul, let alone a booking. It’s always interesting how English referees sometimes get to an answer that’s generally fine by the most nonsense path possible.

It’s interesting that there is an “every right to go for it” standard where you can put a boot through a guy’s larynx.

Finished the third shovel this morning, and that was only side door to the alley and garage. By far it was worse than both of yesterday’s combined. I know in my heart the village plowing the alley actually is helpful, but in that moment when I’m clearing it, no winter thing is more brutal.

Are you kidding me? That’s worth a lot! We need vibes. If any of the smart Brewers people from my online life want to get behind the turnaround, they’re warmly welcomed.

And Gravy. Kerkez too, to be honest. I should just delete both of these.

Wirtz is so obviously the best player out there and Slot just needs to lean into it.

A healthy 45 minutes to clear the front, back and garage without killing myself. Exactly what you want. Then we took a walk. It’s heavy but if you broke it up into shifts, you are sitting pretty for the morning.

It’s been about 5 1/2 hours since I finished the first shovel. Bridgette made a lasagna, and my belly is full so let’s see if the snow will be as cooperative as the first time I fought it.

It certainly seems like it. I have so many questions for her — as did you did! But she doesn’t seem interested in answering or even flirting. You’d think the flirt would be integral to success here, not just ice cream and pizza like you’re 9 years old.

This strikes me as something a person only tries this hard for because it’s worked before.

Also, the lake effect has turned all the way on. Blowing straight east to west between the houses here in Whitefish Bay. Should be fun to see how it piles up (derogatory).
