Morning bitches. I’m back in DC and I’ll have a full recap of the last two days for you at some point today. Briefly:

—Ty Conklin made himself a hero in the eyes of my 7 year old. A simple gesture that won’t be forgotten by our family.
—An asswipe DJ in Pittsburgh says the Wings are “living on borrowed time.” Heard that yesterday driving through PA.
—Speaking of PA, every toll booth operator we encountered (about 19 of them) joked with me about wearing a Wing jersey. They want a rematch. Badly.
—Almost ended up in Canada because of construction on 75N. WTF?
—Hawk fans in Hockeytown for Game 2…I thought you guys did pretty well.
—Best sign I saw at the Joe? “Welcome To A Nightmare On Helm Street”

More on all that later. For now, you guys know Paul’s under the weather. A2Y’s taking a backseat in favor of the main page this morning. Regular juvenilicity will re-commence some time today.
