When I met Bernie Parent last year, he let me try on his rings (that's him in the photo; I refuse to buy/wear jerseys/blouses/sweaters, etc.). I was outside taking a breather (I was shooting a Phillies alumni event) when up walks this man and his beautiful wife, very unassumingly. He stopped and just smiled at me. I looked up and said, "Bernard Marcel Parent. I was wondering when you would get here." He arrived late and we talked for a while about the Cup days until I told him he'd better get inside while the event was still going on. You would be hard pressed to find a more gracious person, let alone a Hall of Fame athlete. Anyone who has met Bernie would tell you the same.

I never met Bernie but always enjoy his interviews. This one was one of my faves on NPR's Wait Wait Don't tell me. Always a jocular fun loving fellow...unlike Torts...

New Orleans is the best place i've been to in the US. It's such a unique place in terms of culture, food, music, atmosphere, etc. Went there with my wife on our Honeymoon back in 2015. I highly recommend.
Fresh beignets are so f***ing good and dangerous. You feel like you can keep eating them.

I went there in April/May 2006 for two weeks for work. Managed to catch Jazzfest. City was an absolute disaster after Katrina, but the people and atmosphere were still amazing.

My wife and I go with a group of friends for a long weekend every year. We even got married there. Do not pass up the chance if you get it.
I lived in Manhattan. I lived in Europe. There are only a handful of great cities in all of North America, but NO is definitely one of them. Montreal is another, which is probably not a coincidence.
That's a perfect Honeymoon. Well done.
We had talked about retiring there, but agreed it would probably kill us both.

I’m listening to Jeff Nadu’s space right now reading out this guy’s discovery from his case.

Doesn't mean he's wrong, though.

He is wrong though, especially calling Frank "mentally unstable". Pretty f***ing wildly tone-deaf and ignorant thing to say about someone who is clearly developmentally disabled, but I can't say I'm surprised coming from this character. A real pillar of the community.

Yeah, we went from spring to blizzard overnight. No power right now; hopefully back by early afternoon.

You sure you aren't experiencing a nuclear winter after Canada pissed off Russia somehow?
I lost power last night, then it came back, then lost it again during the night. It just came back. Internet was out for a while too. There are branches down all over. I almost crashed into a tree that had fallen across the road last night.

There were 2 very confused dogs in this house as it shook and also a pug who didn't even wake up.

Truck drove by me as I sat in the parking lot and I thought it was that.
I'm gonna say it was less than the one that damaged the Washington Monument. Didn't feel as strong. I had some bobbleheads and stuff fall over from that one.
My one cat is sleeping. The other cat lifted her head up and is just staring at the ceiling now though lol.

I remember the last one (2010?2011?) being much more intense.
