Did you know there is a character limit on an Instagram DM? I did not. I was trying to format a DM and get up the courage to hit send, wasn't sure if I wanted to sure, hit return to add a space between paragraphs and sent it. Oops!

I did. Did you also know there's a hash tag limit?

It must be a lot because I've seen Instagram posts with many, many hashtags.

I'm still nervous about what I sent. The person who I DM'd lives on the west coast so she probably hasn't seen it yet. Hoping she can help connect me with someone kinda famous. I mentioned in the DM I was totally OK if she told me she couldn't/won't do it. It's one of those if I don't ask, I'm no worse off than if I hadn't asked her at all.
 
I'm not venturing to the other half of the board. I just want to say that what we've seen so far out of the big ten is just incredible.
In this same vein, I like reading the bleating from fans of schools in the Nacho and Traitors conferences worrying about the B1G schools taking all their players and coaches.

As a UAA fan: Oh no, anyway…
 
Who dat? I always thought the B1G were the traitors?

The traitors are the left behind WCHA and CCHA teams which originally formed a new WCHA, then decided to move it all to the re-formed CCHA, but decided to leave Jim and the Alaska schools behind.

The CCHA. They attempted to murder the Alaska schools (and UAH) in a vain attempt for relevance. I hope Mankato bails to the Nacho and the rest of that conferences falls.

I don’t view the B1G schools as traitors, far from it, the B1G is another result of what was happening in college sports as a whole. As college hockey grew, it was inevitable that the B1G was going to happen eventually.

I am indifferent to the Nacho. I hated the move but I understand why they did it.

Though I think the current situation in western college hockey outside of the B1G is unstable and unsustainable.
 
I finally bought a car! I got a Volvo XC60 Recharge. Hoping to pick it up tonight, and then I'll cancel my Toyota order (it's been 8 months, they quoted 4-6).
 
My god every single car looks identical. Is aerodynamics simply perfected? Every deviation means loss of fuel efficiency?
 
I remember taking my last drink 3 years ago on April 29.
What started as a good night turned into a disaster as one glass of whiskey became round 2. And I remember feeling super chatty after the second glass, wanting to stay in Hope Church's Pub Theology longer, and then realizing I had to get into my social work class. I was 15 minutes late.

During class, I remember a few of my classmates asking if I was okay (I wasn't), oversharing, and ending the night depressed and wanting to throw up, but I couldn't. I called myself a fraud. Called myself a failure. Said I didn't belong in school. And I was sobbing hard.

I woke up on April 30th and I thought I could just go back to 1-2 drinks a week, but it was clear I had to quit. I went to bed without a drink that night and have been intentionally practicing sobriety ever since.

Around 5 AM, I started crying because I'm loved and supported by awesome people. I'm crying because I'm grateful for life as it is, not as I want it to be. I'm crying because all the previous iterations of me are looking at me and are so proud of me. I'm crying because even when "times are (censored), but I'm pretty sure they can't get worse... sunny Santa Fe would be nice," I can do this.

"I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just to be

There's only now
There's only here
Give into love, or live in fear
No other path, no other way
No day but today!"

There are vehicles that do look different. Oddly enough, Toyota has some of the most unique, least streamlined appearances for their SUVs right now.
