To be able to touch someone and let them feel the love I have for humanity—or for them personally.
In the 1990s, I went to get autographs from Mario, Jagr, and other Penguins with my brother-in-law. He got sick, vomited in a Ziploc bag, and tossed it out of the car—where it landed on someone’s front porch. I know it’s disgusting, but I found it funny.
17. I can dislocate my lefft thumb
Keep expressing yourself in your own way. Don’t pay attention to bullies. Keep your head up and keep on truckin’.

You’re all my star players, till the day I die and beyond.
