That Charles Glen

is a saaaammmmoooooooooooottthhh voiced devil. I wonder how old he is, probably much older than I thought. He’s got a little gray soul patch on that chin.
Loved the Flat Stan on the shelf behind him—nice touch.

I missed the fun here last night, worked 10hrs then went straight to a soccer game.
I’ll miss Sat big time. Sucks. I have dinner plans with a group of 15, going to Bocana-Brazilian BBQ. Shit.
When at Bobby’s Place Wed I won 2 tickets to Sat game and it’s fanfest of course. Haven’t made a game because of money in 3 yrs, I get free tickets and I’ve committed to something else. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH CRAP.

Trust me I thought about dumping the previous commitment but I hate people that do that. I can’t blow it off because something ~~better~~ stupendous came along.

Hockey players wear numbers because you can't always identify the body with dental records.

FU Friday? It's almost 1pm....Fuck!

On a side note…..Good for you Ben Bishop….way to step up, son. It’s sure nice to know the Blues have depth in goal and on the blue line. God forbid something should happen to one of our defensemen (maybe with exception to Brewerbot), Blues have someone to call up that would likely be just as good; or in the case of Brewer, better.

In goal, they have a great backup in Conks, and if something happens to either goalie, Bishop looks ready to answer that call with Jake waiting in the wings.

This type of depth is very reassuring. After just spending 6 months watching what happens when a baseball team loses 40% of it’s rotation, and has no answers for replacements, the Blues wealth of defensemen and goalies brings a peace of mind. This team should be good, and should injuries arrive, they should have an answer.

8 more days!
