  1. In honor of Air Conditioner Install Day, we bring you our first Summer Cooldown entry from our buds at @bcpondhockey backyard-hockey.com/2012/05/18/sum…
  2. @kaufenberg Do it. Then you can make "TUUK" an approved Words With Friends entry.
  3. Words cannot express how much I appreciate it when a web form asks for my zip code and it resolves itself into my city and state.
  4. Happy Birthday to Jack Falla, who would have been 68 today. You are missed, Jack, but thanks for sharing so much while you were with us.
  5. I made a TV shelf for my son's room out of composite hockey sticks - here's the writeup. backyard-hockey.com/2012/05/11/the…
  6. Selling a Bruins alternate jersey. No number/name. Reebok, adult XL. $50. Worn once. Dm me. twitter.com/BackyardHockey…
  7. My sis, the badass. @sandraproulx: Calm before the storm #toughmudder instagr.am/p/KSPY6KRCcj/
  8. For those of you who humored my tee ball uni question Friday, here's the end result. Love it. And he had a blast. twitter.com/BackyardHockey…
  9. I want this for my house. @HarrisonMooney: Proud to live in Canada, where a sign like this is necessary. twitter.com/HarrisonMooney…
  10. @jryager Who said that? Not I.
  11. @BrianPlain True. But I fear if we go white jersey, gray pants, black socks, kids will point and go "Look at Mr Gradient!" I know I would.
  12. @mccuedan @UniWatch Oh without a doubt. My kid isn't named Manny Ramirez. If I'm buying special socks, you're gonna see 'em!
  13. It may seem superficial, but nothing worse than a raggedly-dressed little leaguer. Have some pride, parents! Pull those socks UP!
  14. @mccuedan @uniwatch It'd take my about six hours to put this kid in real stirrups. We'll hold off until he's 7.
  15. @ckipfer That's what I was thinking. Google images is really letting me down on how that'd look. This is IMPORTANT! :)
  16. My 5yo's 1st t-ball game tomorrow. Black hats, white jerseys. Def getting him black pants. But what socks? Fake stirrups? All black? White?
  17. OK, I have a SUPER IMPORTANT question...

  19. My son either drew a picture of his favorite ex-B's player or Claude Julien walking his imaginary dog. #bearandthegang twitter.com/BackyardHockey…
  20. Wonder if our PP would be better if Matt Cooke's and Tom Sestito's moms were using better contraceptives. #missyousavvyandhorts
