    Ironical! Though I have to wonder if it was done on purpose or not. I suppose it’s funny either way.

    Regretsy take the puck, goes down the ice, loses the puck — NO! He’s got it! — and he’s heading for the goal…

    Regretsky shoots…

    HE SCORES! AND THE DERPS WIN THE STANLEY CUP!

    On the rare occasion, there are times I have regretskies about moving away from Southern California. This is one. Of course, I also miss hearing April on KFI…April, you and Roy did a renewal of vows for my husband and I, we remember it fondly, and still have the tape and certificate!

    I got there at 2:55 and they said I’d literally missed you by ten minutes. I had my “Say WHAT” necklace on and everything!! But I did get a signed copy of the book, so overall it was a win.
