A few months ago I sent a painting to a friend of mine in PEI who was feeling down, and according to him it pretty much made his year when he got it (less a comment on my skill than on how awful 2020 has been
). About three weeks ago he told me to check my mailbox because he was returning the favour. And after a bizarre trek across the country (thank you, Canada Post...) this arrived yesterday: autographed and game-worn! It's gonna have a prominent spot amongst my other hockey treasures.
