With a heavy heart, I have to announce that it is only July.
Late July, sure, but July nonetheless, and that means we still have to sit here, twiddling our thumbs, swinging our feet, for an entire two and a half months before hockey season begins. I confess that I consider my years to be cleanly divided between Hockey Season (H.S.) and Offseason (O.S.), although I am neither a professional reporter nor involved in any such way with the sport, beyond matters of the heart and soul. I just miss hockey—and I’m also a loser. Whom amongst us, right?
