    Currently reading Demon Copperfield and can't put it down.

    Demon Copperhead is a 2022 novel by Barbara Kingsolver. It was a co-recipient of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and won the 2023 Women's Prize for Fiction. Kingsolver was inspired by the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield.[1][2] While Kingsolver's novel is similarly about a boy born into poverty, Demon Copperhead is set in Appalachia and explores contemporary issues.

    I challenge the league to suspend Bedard if he were to come out to the season opening face-off with pride tape.

    Listening to this right now and what an album so far. If anyone knows how to set a mood it's Sufjan Stevens. Pitchfork with an 8.6 EDIT: Wow - Shit Talk is something else.

    This week hasn't been the best for me - just completely demotivated. However, last weekend I did an 18-mile day hike with 2k vert so that felt good. Really looking to start hitting the gym in two weeks though ahead of the new ski season. Will probably just fall into a PPL with some cardio mixed in.

    Slaughter Beach, Dog - Birdie

    https://open.spotify.com/album/7BOqKE9agoJs91LXKd1pNy

    I honestly just discovered this album, which may come as a surprise to some of you. I've really enjoyed it so far so I thought I'd pass it along here. Indie Folk is exactly what I needed today after a long day at work - and this album hit I perfectly. Has me longing for the days I used to stay up all night exploring albums on Last.fm.

    I was listening to 32 thoughts and they were projecting somewhere between 3-5 with his camp wanting the longest possible - going for five. It'll be interesting to see how this impacts William Nylander who is heading into the final year of his deal.
