Today is the last day of the year and it has been quite an experience this year. When I began the year I thought that I was just dealing with a stomach ulcer and nothing more serious than that. It did not seem like it was going to be that big of a deal. An…
One of my favorite memories growing up was watching hockey in the living room with my best friend and his family. It was tradition that we would watch all major sporting events with his dad in the living room. I do not remember any scores or any events specifically, just the memory of us all…
