OK, I'll bite. Was it just a coincidence, so you remember when it happened, or something far more nefarious?

Or was it more that you were chemically inconvenienced at the time and those darn stairs moved on you?

I was at home, in bed, about midnight, and the phone rang. Way back then, we had one phone, which was usual, on the main floor, and nobody ever called after 11, except for something really important.

I ran downstairs, slipped on the carpet, and fell about a dozen steps, separating my left shoulder. It turned out to be an old friend of mine, who had just heard about the shooting. Unfortunately, her husband had gone out for the evening, wasn't home, and she had no idea where he was (remember, this was long before cell phones). So she called me, almost in hysterics, about Lennon.

I sat there for almost an hour, cradling my shoulder, which had fortunately popped back in when I stumbled against the door frame, trying to calm her down, until her husband got home.

My wife slept through it all.

Remember the time Montreal scored a game winner off Lachanes face?

I was at that game. Last Islander game at the old Montreal Forum.

I heard on a NYI podcast I listen to that there was video of Beau celebrating in the locker-room. Anyone see this? Can you please post it?

Thank God today is my first day of summer from the school year. Not sure how any teaching would have gotten done today.

That's when you wheel in the TV and show a National Geographic special

All my students would come in each day talking about how they watched the game in the playoffs especially. Good group of kids haha.

 

[tinyzombies]

We agree on one thing - we hate the Tampa Bay Lightning. Good luck tonight.

If the Islanders had won I would give them one problem less of math HW each night. They are diehard fans now. One of the girls came in one day with a Barzal jersey.

Hoo boy I went to a few of those. New Haven Coliseum had a rough crowd when the Nighthawks were a Kings farm team.

A lot Of Islanders went thru New Haven before the Kings took over....
