The Coffee House

Literally. Saw Gretz when he was first with the Kings, his teammates looked more like Keystone Kops turning to go the other way to catch up! (Granted it was exhibition and probably guys who were sent down to the minors.)

Gordie Howe is Mr. Hockey. Even though he since passed away nobody else will have that nickname. Saw him at an autograph signing and he wasn't exactly young them and boy when he shook your hand did you know it, he had a grip!

The sticks I have are either former local players or a couple of guys who played for our college team (Ken Morrow who played on the '80 Olympic team, and Mike Liut who was an NHL goalie and the stick I have looks like he broke it over the goal post).

Except for the one I grabbed today which isn't game used but team autographed so it's prettier than most. Also came in handy when I literally shot a Polaroid out the window, stuck tape on the end to get it (at the time better than trying to go around and get it hobbling and wobbling on a cane). Was going to leave it and get it later but noticed it was turning redscale so wanted to save it. Yep, it's still redscale, so need to try it on purpose! Anything for hockey or photography.

I met Mr. Howe at my son's grade school science exhibit. His grandson was in my son's class, Sylvania, OH, first marriage. He was such a nice and gentle souled man. He was healthy then (late 80's). Hard to believe he was that way (gentle) after watching a lot of tape on him. He invited me and the family to his son's house (Marty or Mark, can't remember but he was a doctor and former player) for a party the next day. Down to earth and loving family. What a collection of memorabilia!
 
Gary is home. It was warm today, in the 80's, but the humidity is down. Gary has opened up the house, turned on the patio fans, fed The Cook, grabbed two mugs and filled one mug with an herbal ice tea the other with Gary's Famous Homemade Ice Cream. He has settled down catching up on the news of the day. Ice cream greatly improves Gary's disposition.
 
Kim Chee is my poison,
Kim Chee is my healing.

One of the best complex probiotics you can get on this planet

Made it to 101 today, the temp is however dropping fast as the rain started about 10 minutes ago. Slated for thunderstorms off and on all night long, with cooler temps through the weekend.
