Mr Hockey Gordie Howe dies at age 88.

Gordie Howe, recognized as the greatest NHL player who ever lived, died Friday June 10th, the Red Wings announced.

Forever known as Mr Hockey, Gordie set a number of records that many fans worldwide had considered to be untouchable. Tough in many aspects of his career, Gordie was a player not to cross and not to take lightly.

Playing a grand total of 26 NHL seasons, 25 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings and a brief season with the Hartford Whalers, and a 6 season stint in the WHA. 

Gordie’s list of achievements:

  • Playing until the age of 52, Gordie scored 801 goals and 1,850 points in 1,767 regular-season games.
  • A 23 time NHL All-Star.
  • Four time Stanley Cup Champion: 1950, 1952, 1954 and 1955
  • He was the League’s top scorer in four straight seasons, from 1951-54, and again in 1956-57 and 1962-63.
  • Winning the Art Ross Trophy and Hart Trophy six times.
  • Pioneered his own hockey stable, the Gordie Howe Hat Trick.
  • Set standards that were believed to be out of reach until “The Great One”, Wayne Gretzky arrived in the 1980′s

If I ever have to sing in a campaign where I play a bard, the DM requires that I sing. Sometimes I make up something on the spot, other times I use a song that’s just on my mind.

Me: I start a fascinating performance, the song sounds like John Cage’s 4'33".
DM: Okay, sing.
Me: (silence)
DM: Dude, go or skip your turn.
Druid, who is a music nerd as much as I am: He is, 4'33" is four minutes 33 seconds of silence.
DM: So you’re just standing there with a lute in hand having a staring contest with an Orc.
Me: Yea.
Druid: Orcs are pretty dumb.
DM: I’m letting this one slide.

I’m bored, so have some fall/winter either/ors.

Rain or Snow?

Cider or Cocoa?

Hood or Hat?

Gloves or Mittens?

Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint?

Sweater or sweatshirt?

Fruit Cake or Gingerbread?

Candles or String Lights?

Stew or Roast?

Rain!

This one is tough, but honestly nothing compares to a mug of hot cider on a cold autumn day.

Hood. I like them mostly because they are attached to the coat.

Gloves. I know mittens keep fingers warmer, but they’re so clunky.

Peppermint!

Sweaters. I love wearing them and cuddling up to my husband when he is wearing one. So cozy.

Gingerbread! With all the spices cranked up.

I love candles, but with the cat and my son, string lights are much safer.

Oh man. A hearty beef stew with root vegetables and hot buttered bread. Yes.
