“Why wait until 1:00?” Tom Grady asks his wife, who – while pleased to learn that Tom will visit her mother for the first time in seven years is also trying to work out what the hell is wrong with him – listens slack-jawed as he continues. “Let’s go over early.

Sharon Law, of Poughkeepsie, NY, has informed her husband of 45 years that she will watch the Rangers vs Habs playoff game this coming Sunday night. Doctors are hopeful Mr. Law will recover in time, following a massive myocardial infarction brought on by the hockey-hater’s sudden change of…heart.
