So we’ve reached the point where Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin has chosen to withhold his services in the expectation that doing so will assist in facilitating a trade away from the team with which he’s reached irreconcilable differences. In other words, Dylan’s holding out until he’s dealt out. It’s sort of stupid, honestly, to … Continue reading Stiff upper lip →
I went to my doctor’s office on Tuesday, and was told that I likely have a viral infection, so the doctor gave me a prescription sinus spray and asked me to “tough it out” for 7 to 10 more days before we do anything else health-wise. That was not the news I or Aunt Annie … Continue reading Health update + some Red Wings thoughts →
Hey gang, I remain physically ill despite my best efforts to get better, and I’m seriously bummed out about the situation. I have a primary care physician’s office visit scheduled shortly, and at that time I will determine the next steps necessary to get back to doing the job I love to do.
So I’ve been quite sick, the website is acting funky and customer support can’t solve whatever issues are causing the shenanigans, and the Red Wings are 1-3-and-2, though the team did sign Alex DeBrincat to a 7-year, $91 million contract this morning. Some simple thoughts here: Things could be a lot better for sure, but … Continue reading More Red Wings thoughts from flu land →
The headline’s blunt, and I’m going to be equally blunt here. I’m still battling against this flu/viral illness some 10 days after I had to pull the chute on the blog. I’m very pissed off because I am still ill and feel absolutely terrible, with the usual fever/chills, body aches and pains and extreme fatigue. … Continue reading I’m still sick and it sucks →
I had a really shitty setback today, illness-wise, so I wasn’t able to come back for tonight’s game vs. the Senators, as initially planned. Nonetheless, as I continue to recover from this viral illness/flu bug, I have some thoughts regarding what’s going on with the Red Wings.
I’m sorry about the interruption in service over the past couple of days. Missing the first two games is not ideal. I have been tremendously sick with my “flu bug”/viral illness, and I’ve barely been able to take care of my aunt or myself due to extreme fatigue, fever, sweats and chills, a cough and … Continue reading Really sick →
