Sunday brunch: NYR vs HC Slovan, 11 a.m.
Well, this isn't going to happen during the season: Watching live hockey on the big screen with blueberries and brunch in sunny Chez Zipay in 90 minutes. I've got Nick Drake's classic "Bryter Later" on the turntable and l'll be posting some observations and updates here and twitter.com/stevezipay after the puck drops. Let me know whatcha think...
Thanks to all the well-wishers. Not feeling sorry for myself at all. With a little good fortune, I'll be filing dispatches live from Europe at this time next season. Short-term, the swash will be back in the buckle very soon....
Back in bit...
