Hey Coach G/Ron and everyone,
All petty good on my end. Been working right through this COVID at the hospital. Admittedly a tad scary first month or so but somewhat disconditioned to it these days I guess as part of everyday life, though still close to mind as cases area ramping up in Calgary again it seems and with schools now back...we'll see where it all goes. I work with pretty sick patients, so if a localized outbreak happen, sh!t would be bad.
Mountain biking a little less than I'd like, but still getting some rides in for my sanity ; ) One of my main friends broke his clavicle on a bike crash in Squamish, BC recently, so I'm a little reluctant to ride solo at the moment with super active bears prepping for hibernation and some mountain lion/cougar sightings on trails I frequent. Stil some good local riding.
I have gotten into NHL and NBA playoffs more than I thought I would.
Can someone please knock off Jamie Benn and the Stars FFS!? Been enjoying the run by Barry Trotz and the Islanders - my first favourtie player when I was a kid was Mike Bossy, so guess that old hockey "flame" is getting rekindled.
Other thing I'm getting into to distract me from current earthly effed up stuff is learning more about photography - always an interest, but I don't have much clue what I'm doing - mostly hiking and biking pics - on IG @chrisra1ph (that's a one, not the letter L) if anyone else is.
Audiobooks, podcasts, Netflix/Prime, and playing guitar & my handpan/tonguepan (unique instrument) take up the rest of my limited time, I guess.
LOL, well, guess that's more than a "check in", but going off on tangents is typical me! (toyed with the idea of starting my own podcast at the urging of some of my friends/colleagues - some title's I was considering: Chris's Tangents; I Digress by Chris Ralph or Chris's Digressions; WTF is Chris Up To Now; W.I.L.L. Power - WTF I've Learned Latley - Alright, I'll stop haha - u get the idea).
Hope everyone else staying well, as well as possible - interested to hear what else you guys are up to.
Cheers, C

I'm doing just fine. We stay home as much as possible. We go for groceries once every 2 weeks, and wear our masks when we have to go out. Stay safe guys.

Toronto is pretty calm all things considered right now. Things are good here. Its been a weird summer with premium sports going (im not a baseball guy).
looking forward to the finals in both NHl and NBA!
The vegas/dallas series is going to go the distance (and the winner will get shellacked by the bolts IMO).

Hey guys, so I'm not gonna lie but I've really enjoyed this time off, especially knowing what's ahead with creating ratings sheets and getting everything installed and updated.
I'm thinking about another 2-weeks and then I'll start putting the sheets together.
Not much exciting really going on at my end. I was really enjoying the Isles playoff run until the slaughter in game 1 and the heartbreaker of game 2, I guess we'll see what tonight brings.
I hope everyone is doing well, and it's nice to see people checking in!

Still alive, working and video games, usual stuff. VA hasn't had much Covid stuff going on, people are pretty good about masks around here, unless you head into Republican territory, then they don't.

Yeah your team will be a beast, now you got to make a move to get goalie or pay big time! But you should be among favs no doubt!
