@divegeester saidSpeaking of “taking after” things. I noticed, early on, that my daughter took after me and my son took after my ex. I think I’ll look into how that happens. On the surface, it would seem that sons would take after the father and daughters after the mother.🤔
My sisters cat is not well.
She a remarkable cat with bags of personality, affection and feisty with it. Lives on a farm; hunts, kills, protects and had a litter of 5 from the local feral tom, all of which take after her.

veteran of fourteen years in the National Hockey League from 1970-83, goaltender Gilles Gilbert died Sunday morning at the age of 74, per Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now.
Gilbert is best known for being in net for the Boston Bruins in the 1979 playoffs, where Guy Lafleur of the Montreal Canadiens would score the game-tying goal with less than two minutes left in Game 7 of the semi-finals, turning the tide in favor of the Canadiens.
Gilbert was originally drafted in the third round of the 1969 NHL Amateur Draft by the Minnesota North Stars, at that point making him the 25th overall pick. In four seasons spent with the North Stars, Gilbert would play in a total of 44 games, securing a 16-22-5 record, and carrying a .896 SV% and a 3.40 GAA. In May of 1973, Gilbert was traded to Boston in exchange for forward Fred Stanfield.
His time with the Bruins would undoubtedly be the best stretch of his career, playing 277 games over seven years donning the spoked ’B’. For the first four seasons with Boston, Gilbert, and the team would make the postseason in each season, with Gilbert receiving a majority of the starts in the regular season.
In total, Gilbert finished his time with the Bruins with a 155-73-39 record, posting a .890 SV% and a 2.95 GAA. As his time in Boston came to a close, he was traded to a separate Original Six franchise, joining the Detroit Red Wings after a 1980 trade for goalie Rogie Vachon.

This saddens me, as I remember Gilles very well. I will hoist one in his name.
