Happy heavenly birthday to Billy Van . he was born on this day on August 11, 1934. What better way to celebrate his legacy than ordering the biography I wrote with Stacey Case about his life and times: "Who's The Man? Billy Van!"

In my latest Society for International Hockey Research column, I talk with @lornasn about her new middle-grade novel, "Rhapsody Smith: Ice Angel" (@GreatPlainsPub). She has no problem admitting that @RoyMacG's Screech Owls series was an inspiration.

Thank you for your Netflix special, @SarahKSilverman, talking about your parents. After watching, I had a dream that night about my dancing with mom, who has been gone since 2001, and before that was in a wheelchair for years. Magic.

Kyle Wellwood, who played in the NHL for the Leafs, Sharks, Jets & Canucks, has written a book but it's not an autobiography. No, it's a novel, "Edgar and the Boreal Crown," that tackles unexpected themes like trans rights, politics & racism (and hockey!).

Earlier this week, @hockeyesque told me that he's read my @ecwpress book "Gratoony the Loony" twice & finds Gilles Gratton fascinating. He was also excited to learn that Gilles' appearance on the Hockey Time Machine podcast was about to drop. Here it is!
