When we last left the Trusty Family the husband was in Central America, the child was crying and the mother was wishing she hadn’t cut back on drinking. Well… the husband came home, the child was still crying and the mother was still wishing for that bottle of wine. Let me back up. Last Wednesday […]
Hockey is just better
What does it take?
We are into the 5th day of 10 without Derek. Where is he? He’s supposed to building a house with Habitat for Humanity in El Salvador. Instead, he’s doing things like cleaning metal roofs and getting to play with kids at a local daycare center. Why? Because the weather map looks like this: Now, I’m […]
I’m going to kiss that helmet a little
My girlfriend, Alicia (aka Tacoma Chickadee), said she was going to start doing roller derby. ?I thought that might be fun seeing as I’m dumb and all (not that roller derby girls are dumb). ?Then I started talking with her about the cost of it all and it was beyond my price range. ?For that […]
Olympics Fail

And here I thought I was going to get some extra drawing time
Every Saturday I do the requisite hockey mom thing and drive my child to the rink.? Ok, Derek drives to the rink and I go along for the ride.? The boy still won’t let his father off the ice and the coaches are ok with this.? They can use the extra help anyway.? Since the […]
Irritating Hockey Stuff
I was going to do the final update for you on how the whole truffles thing turned out.?
