The minivan didn’t ask for this life.
But it’s officially moved from mom van to hay van until a replacement truck is found.

I listened to the Vikings home radio broadcast while unloading said hay on Sunday, and couldn’t stop thinking about how hard that job must be.

To make a game meant to be seen feel completely alive through sound alone.

They make you feel like you’re there, even when you’re covered in hay a few states away.
It’s a skill and tradition that’s been keeping people connected to the game long before screens ever did.

So thank you to all the great commentators out there and congrats to the for a fantastic game!

(I was able to watch the game later as those who saw Hazel the goat’s photo on Sunday and can’t wait to spend time with them next week- send me your LA recommendations on how to promote the book while there!)
