Good morning Wilderness, how are you feeling this fine Monday morning? Theirs going to be plenty to talk about around the water cooler at work this week with playoff hockey coming back to Minnesota. Wait, water coolers, do people still have those? Perhaps my office is sheltered, no water coolers anywhere, and I highly doubt anybody would stand around the thing just to talk ....
Anyway, enough from me, lets get you to the information you so desperately crave. Give you something to talk about around that imaginary water cooler.
