Today’s MOB stop – Les Enfants Terrible, written by someone named “Tea Party”. He’s been writing more or less prolifically since 2005.

And I loved this piece, written on the occasion of the US Olympic hockey loss to Canada:

I love Olympic hockey. I’m a Minnesotan who came of age with the 1980 U.S. men’s team, how could I not? As I have been watching the Olympics this winter my eyes have naturally been drawn to one of my favorite photos, which hangs prominently in our family room:

Ya, that’s me in the middle with my brother close behind, waiting to have our sticks signed by Herb Brooks the summer after the 1980 Olympics. The photo was taken at the Roseville Ice Arena just after a session in Herbie’s summer camp. Attending his camp the summer after the Olympics was akin to hanging out with God just after the seventh day. We even got a pep talk from the man himself, in which we were instructed by the greatest coach ever to watch out for fast women.

Stop by Les Enfants Terrible and say hi!
