Happy Victoria Day to my fellow Canucks, and I hope you are enjoying the long weekend!
I wish that I had better news to report on the Stanley Cup Playoff standings for our Winnipeg Jets, but we are down in the series 3-1 :(
We won the first game in the series, but it's been three losses in a row and the Jets have never been on the losing end so far in the playoffs.
Game 2 was on Monday, May 14th and the Golden Knights tied up the series on our home ice.
Game 3 was on Wednesday, May 16th in Vegas. That last goal by the Knights was on an empty net.
Game 4 was on Friday, May 18th in Vegas. I took my kids to the Viewing Party at the arena, and here is my younger daughter all decked out and ready for the #WPGWhiteout:
It was madness in the arena, what an atmosphere! We got our We Are Winnipeg 2018 Playoffs towel:
I still can't believe that cross-check to Scheifele's face didn't result in a penalty for McNabb. You should have heard the arena when that happened, and the response to Scheifele's penalty!
Sadly, this was the end result of the game:
Game 5 is this afternoon, and we need to win the next three games to win the series. I'm not giving up! #GoJetsGo

I bought this Daily Steal at Downpour this week:
by Cleo Coyle
(Coffeehouse Mystery, Book #17)
I really need to get caught up in this series!
Yay!! SYNC is back!! If you are not familiar with this program, you can download two audiobooks FOR FREE every week for the next 10 weeks. The only catch is that you have to download them before they are replaced with a new pair every Thursday at 7:00 a.m. EST. Once you download them, you can listen at your leisure and they are yours to keep forever!
Here is some info on this week's offerings:
In Week 4, both titles in our audiobook pair are brought to us courtesy of Listening Library. Both feature strong girls who meet challenges to their self assurance with a balance of standing up for themselves and accepting the support of those who wish them well.
BEING JAZZ, written and narrated by Jazz Jennings, is the memoir of a contemporary teen who recognized that, to be herself, she needed to express the girl obscured by a body determined to be male at birth. Jazz came out publicly as transgender at the age of six, co-wrote a children’s picture book as she entered her teens, and wrote and recorded her own story for teens, one of our SYNC pair this week, before her 16th birthday. Listeners may recognize Jazz from television or YouTube; now you can get to know her as a writer and reader as well.
Paired with this memoir is a novel by another young woman teens may recognize by name. Mariko Tamaki is one of the team of cousins who wrote the award-winning graphic novel, This One Summer. SAVING MONTGOMERY SOLE, narrated by Rebecca Lowman, features a 16-year-old girl who feels out of place in her town, or maybe in her life. But Monty also has best friends, and a keen interest in things like ESP and superpowers, so life does hold its promises. It’s a matter of remaining honest with herself, Monty comes to understand. Honesty about both her weaknesses and strengths can help her to feel at ease in her world.
Finding a way through discomfort takes both perseverance and a certain amount of good humor, these two heroines show us in this week’s SYNC audiobooks. Thanks, Listening Library, for adding them to our 2018 collection.
