I'm sorry, but the shoe story is just so pathetic.

Insane.

If it sticks this time.

Meanwhile at the bar...

From the modern classic department, this is a Bourbon Renewal. The lovely color comes from Creme de Cassis.

Cheers, friends.

Again.

Happy NHL Trade Deadline Day to all who celebrate.

Whatever else may be changing at DHS, I don't think the IQ is going up.

Chef’s kiss

I'm sorry, half of one?

Excellent. My Eddie Money story is that I once lit a cigarette for him (and one for Bill Graham!) at the back of Keystone Berkeley in the late 1970s.

This could make a great thread. For me, the urinal meet-cutes were Neil Schon, lead guitarist for Journey at a bar in Madison in 1977. And Steve Carell at a movie premiere in Boston maybe 20 years ago. He came into the men's room with three body guards, would not pee till I left.

We also just murdered this guy’s parents, his wife, and his son so good luck getting a peace deal

Hey, how did *your* day go?

Honestly, that inspires a little hope that they will get right the next time.

And option-M on a Mac. Every time I see "uM" on a slide, which is, frankly, every time I look at a slide, I die a little inside.

Ranked: the 21 greatest live albums of all time From prison yards to sold-out stadiums, these legendary recordings capture the raw energy, improvisation, and unmatched atmosphere of rock’s finest hours

This is a great list. Only one I might add is Lou Reed's Rock 'n' Roll Animal.

Who knows. But I love it either way.

This may be the best AI product ever.

The Mother Who Never Stopped Believing Her Son Was Still There For decades, Eve Baer remained convinced that her son, unresponsive after a severe brain injury, was still conscious. Science eventually proved her right.

This story.

Lots of quest dreams last night.

I'm guessing no one disputes the latter point.

Instead of SOTU tonight, I plan to watch the new season of Shoresy.

So stupid.

I know it's not the most important thing in this story, but the goofy detail about Epstein's cryopreservation strategy is chef's kiss.

very sportsman-like

The Gaudreau kids

The heartbroken faces on the Canadian players as they get their medals.

I was in a hotel bar in London for Crosby's gold-winning goal in 2010. Still remember vividly. So sorry Sid's not in the game today.

Prime Minister Mark Carney looked pretty stressed while watching this tense game from a bar in Chelsea, Que. this morning. Same, Mr. Prime Minister, same.

the CBC livefeed is hilarious

I'll take a goal from anyone in a red jersey
