23

 And now we're down to 23 days until retirement. It was a strange day for this particular turnover because I wasn't on campus. We received around a foot and a half of snow during this storm (more pictures later) and so I carried out my classes on Zoom. Still, I wasn't going to cancel classes, and the conditions, both here in Calais and in Burlington, were pretty dreadful.

Here's a picture of Jonathan Hefney, whose story reminds us that not every story has a happy ending. After playing at Tennessee he had some brief stints with Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, and Detroit in the NFL, never seeing the field in an actual game, but then achieved much greater success in two stints with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and stops with the Calgary Stampeders and Montreal Alouettes. Along the way he was a CFL All-Star a couple times. Sadly, he was injured in a helmet-to-helmet hit during his time with Montreal and ended up with nerve damage that ended his playing career.
