Happy Friday! It’s Friday, it’s June 14, which to you people may mean its Flag Day, but to me it’s the 30th anniversary of the New York Rangers winning the Stanley Cup, a feat I expected to see happen again this year, but apparently the Florida Panthers are just THAT good and will never lose again.
Sigh. I hope things are good in your world; I’m fully recovered from my third-ever bout with Covid late last week (third times the charm, right, well not really, unless you consider nausea and a head cold charming) and ready to take on the weekend.
We start today’s good news with a cool sports story. A little boy in Missouri named Kenyon recently underwent a kidney transplant, and as a reward got to hang out with the Kansas City Chiefs at their practice Thursday.
Check out all the love the little man gets.
**Next up, while Pat Sajak’s retirement was all the rage in game show world last week, this happened, too.
Patrice Masse from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, bid $39,500 on a prize package that included a trip to Miami and a new car on the show’s June 7 episode.
Check out how incredibly close Patrice came to getting it exactly right. Just wow.
**And finally, I loved this story from Steve Hartman, about an Ultimate Frisbee team called the Detroit Mechanics, and their pro sports record-long losing streak.
The Mechanics have lost 78 matches in a row, but they keep on showing up, and have such a wonderful attitude.
Go Mechanics!
