Some festive holiday photos from the December 18 Capitals game. Enjoy!
Moscow Reunion: Kim’s back in town after a few years in Moscow, working at the U.S. Embassy there. Kim was a wonderful and patient guide around the city for me, John Keeley, Mike Vogel, and Sean Parker during our coverage of the IIHF Championship last summer. She also invited us to the embassy on the day of our arrival for a Cinco de Mayo party with Team USA, hosted by the U.S. Marines. As I wrote at the time, “Never did I expect to celebrate a Mexican holiday in Russia with a bunch of Americans.” Thanks again Kim, and welcome back!

Great photos, Mike, thanks for sharing. Good to see Wes Johnson out there wetting his whistle as well. Is he an Irish Channel regular?
Pepper, I can’t say if Wes is a regular but he definitely pops in from time to time. Love his tie in that photo, and the framed Backstrom mini-jersey behind him (or as my wife calls it, the “jersey for cats”).
Would Mrs. Chaos like to attempt putting that “jersey for cats” on one the next time y’all are over?
Heh, only if you volunteer your Backstrom jersey, as I don’t want mine shredded. Plus I’d need to get Mrs. OC some chainmail armor for Christmas first…
Nice photos! Maybe you should get some pics of the Caps in Santa hats…that would be awesome!
