Yesterday, Bruin alumnus Tory Krug announced the birth of his 2nd child with his lovely wife Melanie.

Fenway Krug was unavailable for comment.
The new kid is a girl — the couple’s second daughter — and she is named ‘Hartford’.
This brings up the obvious question…
When she turns 20 is she gonna change her name to Carolina?

Also, why would someone name their child after a city, or give a baby girl such a masculine-sounding name. Well, some mysteries are not meant to be solved.
What CAN be solved is the question ‘what city are they in?’
That’s Boston, kids. Those of you with sharp eyes will recognize the view from Union Wharf in the North End.
The Krugs moved to Boston when Torey was part of the Bruins organization, and still live here when not required to be in St. Louis for the NHL season.
Congratulations to the newly expanded Krug family.
Just checked on the vegetable garden. Pulled in over a liter of grape tomatoes. Which would be fine if I hadn’t pulled in half that many just 3 days ago. Or expect to pull in more in 2 more days. They’re delicious, but they’re coming out faster than we can eat them. I’ve only got 3 plants!
Meanwhile, just pulled in my first red pepper of the season. It’s small and has a nasty looking blemish and I’ve been watching it grow for weeks. I know pepper plants like sunshine and there’ve been a lot of cloudy days, but I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. Maybe they need special fertilizer and raised mounds to keep the fruit off the ground? Maybe I should plant them in my planters on the raised deck where the amount of sun is insane and keeping plants watered is difficult. Basil seems to love it.
Tomatoes!!! We’re eating them fresh now, too!! Nothing like ’em right out of the garden! Never had a lot of luck with peppers… eggplant, nada
Morning all. I would like to thank my air conditioner for getting me through this week.
We had the a/c debate and Jo nixed it…. Might have to rethink
Yeah. A/C has been key. It’s really #11 outside – Soupy.
Good Morning!
If I name my kid after a city, it has to be a city with a sexy name like Oshkosh, Timbuktu, or Detroit! Cute family!!
Casual work day with Jo yesterday. Took it slow, went for a nice swim before the storms came in. My best buddy is coming up with his son for the weekend. Biking, fishing, boating… it’s all on the menu. His kid is 15, has already taken his first deer – with a bow. Knows how to butcher and cook. We’re doing some foraging, too. Very exciting!!
Oh wow!!! I did it!!! Sorta logged in!
You did it!
Who are you and what have you done with Anonymous?!?!?!
INTRUDER ALERT!

INTRUDER ALERT!
I lived in Rantoul, Illinois for awhile. Who wouldn’t want to name their kid Rantoul?
Meet my lovely daughters, Gonic and Fishkill!
Thinking of the towns I’ve spent time in. Andover sounds kinda slutty. Wilmington sounds like a gay butler. “Wilmington, bring the car around. And don’t forget to take my tuxedo to the dry cleaners, I can’t be looking like a farmer when the Carnegies drop by!”
Wilmington is definitely a butler name.
I used to live in Witney. Never in Houston.
Our daughters would have been named Newport and Bristol. I’m thinking Portsmouth Middletown could have been our son.
Sounds like it should be a great weekend!
How was the Roy Orbison doc?
The title was a little misleading – it was really more of a tribute act rather than a life story. But really good!
The main guy sounded a lot like Roy apart from the very high notes not being as powerful, but that is rather a lot to ask!
Thanks
