Wife, 16yo, sis-in-law, her husband, and I are at a Carolina Hurricanes watch party in Greensboro, sponsored by the local ECHL franchise. It’s very noisy inside, so neurospicy kid and I are taking a quiet break in the car with the AC on. Puck doesn’t drop for another hour and a half. Wife and I will appear in the background of a news blurb tonight on the CBS affiliate here because they asked for fans to line up behind the news host.
