I was shanghaied one year into becoming a den leader. Was told there wasn't any space for my son if I didn't take the position. The first year .my schedule wasn't exactly friendly for weekday afternoons, my job ended around 6:30 and it made it tight. I gave it a try anyway.I think they gave me most of the "problem kids" Gave the kids cookies or other sugary treats at the end of the meeting and sent them home on a sugar high. They found someone the next year. I was happy as the "assistant"

Especially friendly, courteous and kind

Somebody tell the 400 thousand souls who died from COVID under Orange Tubby's first Regiem

I know a lot more mature 12 year olds than most if not all members of the Trump Regiem

There was nothing better as a kid than listening to games late at night with a transistor radio under the pillow. All those 50 thousand watt AM powerhouse.

I am an Eagle Scout (once an Eagle, always an Eagle they say). Our troop was in a small town with a great leader and program that probably can't be duplicated now. Most every kid who stuck with it attained the rank. My son tried scouts, just wasn't his interest. I probably wasn't much help since my work hours at the time conflicted with troop events. I was also a bit critical of the adult leadership at the time (30 plus years ago). Times change and scouting has tried to keep up. I guess being Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Brave, Clean and Reverent is considered to the antithesis of the current group of our nation's leaders.

Boy Scouts too woke?

Interesting, as an aside, I think I may still have a copy of the George Brace book mentioned in the article. Some great photos of players

It wasn't easy but Rory got his Grand Slam

Update

There's no way he's 224, I would bet flabby is closer to 260

The Twins are one of the teams whose broadcast is produced and distributed by Major League Baseball. That's probably why they get the home feed on the app.

I don't know, the prices I've see on some sites look fairly reasonable for a once every few years vacation. Especially if you don't go wild and buy into some of the on board shopping options. The demos I ran into on the ship as well seemed not much different that from what I encounter at Colonial Williamsburg.

I just finished an 8 day cruise about a week ago. Fighting the affects of a cold right now... They're out to kill us

I can only remember a few teachers that far back (coming up on what would be 55th high school reunion). I do think I would have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder or whatever. I was more interested in what was happening in the reading groups than doing the math worksheets.
