Jim's Life Story

noreply@blogger.com (ryan) — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:36:00 +0000

11 months later and I'm back with another message.

In a previous call from Doc and Jim, Doc did all the talking and Jim told me he'd call me back when the boys weren't around. He had some things to get off his chest. And he couldn't fit them all in one message.

Alex has an urgent call for me, and when I don't answer, he begins to question everything. I think he wanted to talk about NHL09 or something.

Charlie's Story

Charlie was a good crow. He tragically died in the parking lot of the White Oak street hockey rink. And his remains were... uh, messed up. This is his eulogy.

This is the earliest message that was in my mailbox. From October 4, 2008 - first day of the Penguins season. Please know that I am fully aware of what his phone number is (bleeped out).

This one is pretty short so I'll post another one tonight.
