What position did you play?

Right wing… just like Maurice Richard 
I bet you still like scoring goals. It’s a different feel off the ice though. The nice thing about the ice is the boundaries are clear and the goal is right in front of you. Off the ice there are still goals but it’s a different feel

Ha! When Matt posed the question and you hadn’t answered yet, I TOTALLY said to myself “Oh, Mel’s a winger, no doubt about it” 
I was a winger in soccer, but because I like firing in them beautiful, lofted header assists with a bit of heat on them. Nothing more satisfying than dropping one in there perfectly.
Sometimes though…you just gotta dupe the defender and carve into the box yourself and pot one 
Wing is the best of both worlds.
I always modeled my game after Dutch winger Arjen Robben.

I do this too (or at least, something similar). I have a hyper-focus quality that is useful if I’m focusing on something that brings me directly to where I need to go. The problem is, if I’m not crystal clear about where I need to be going, the hyper-focus can get me making great progress in a direction that is a distraction.

Awesome! I have fond memories of digging clams in the Maritimes growing up. We’d steam them and dunk them in melted butter (plus sometimes vinegar), not minding the crunchy sand

Are those geoduck?
Nope, razor clams! Geoducks are way bigger uo to 7-8 lbs. They live to be 100 + yrs too!
Nice catch! Big razors! Delicious!
They are also my favorite crab bait. They fish for a long time.

I always loved making a beauty of an assist that is flawlessly finished by the striker - then you give the little thumbs up and head nod as you jog back to center. Great camaraderie in sport, perhaps the part which I miss the most.
I’m going to work like hell to be on the pitch again once I can start exercising again and trying to re-establish some of the neurological connections lost during my back issue. I’ll cry like a baby if and when the day comes that I can play a match again. My greatest asset was my speed, so I’m really going to work to get my legs working as they should again. It’ll take time to get my touch back as well, but first things first. Gotta work on tying my own shoes again, first lol.

Yep on the bait. Half of these got cleaned the other half just taken out of the shell & froze. I’d rather eat Dungeness than clam chowder or fritters, but both rock!

Had to reset the clock last week, but I have 6 strong days sober right now.
I’m off the smokes, but all-in-all not by choice right now
