oh man.... Was so glad to get to meet that guy when we were able to get in the suite at WM, which I think you organized? I still have the pocket knives and fishing lures he sent me.

We saw something similar at the Grand Canyon. We were leaving after the sunset and something was hanging around the lot and people of course had to "take a selfie". Luckily the park ranger was there to sternly warn them that this isn't a zoo with cages. They will run you down. You are in their bedroom.

That series was written for these times.

I almost texted you when it happened. But I wasn’t sure if the number I had was the same. I had a beautiful view of it from my seats.

Finally caught up on Andor and it's been everything I hoped. If you watched Rebels, this last week leads directly to the season 3, episode 9. Mothma's speech.

Normally I root against Toronto because it's fun but this year I'm rooting for them along with the other Canadian teams, which I usually do.

Happy for you.

I think he's dumb in the sense he's not well read or curious about things. But he's not dumb when it comes to presentation and marketing. When we writes something on social media and everybody goes ape ****.... that's intentional. He knows people will make fun of his spelling and mixing things up. I think Bill Maher was right in many ways. What helps him with a lot of his voters is the fact that in the 4 1/2 months how many times have we seen footage of him in the oval office and all of that? Probably more than we saw Biden doing that in 4 years.

I knew the first one was filmed at Arizona in Tuscon, subbing for Adams College. The movie is not streaming anywhere... and I don't have my worn old VHS copy from the 80's I taped off HBO or Showtime.

That might have been from the sequel?

I know Revenge of the Nerds very well. Very well. The bleachers in Tiger Stadium was sealed off from the rest of the stadium. Underneath the bleachers in the lower deck was where they stored things so you couldn't go down there. In the rest of the stadium you had street level concourses/concessions as well as at the top of the lower deck. If you sat in the upper deck you used those. But if you tried to walk all the way aroudn the stadium they had chain link fences with an attendant near each side of the bleachers. It was like being in prison. It was the lower level concourses that had some hallways and doors that you could sneak through. It was cold and damp everywhere and had a smell mixed of onions/peppers/beer, and probably piss. Coleman Young famously shut down the bleachers because people were getting rowdy. We sat there for opening day in 1995, after the strike, and the season started later so it was nicer out. Things got crazy as fans were kind of rebelling. Women were flashing people. People ran on the field.

This will be a tough series. Going to be a beautiful weekend though. Little chilly tonight but it's date night for the wife and I. Tomorrow I get to see Sturgill Simpson.

We would do that with Larry Herndon. We joined what was called the Pepsi/Tiger Fan Club. Have no idea what it cost, couldn't have been much, and you got a few Tiger tickets in LF and a gift. Larry would acknowledge us then we'd argue over who he was smiling to. Did a lot of exploring at Tiger Stadium as a youth. We found the clubhouse, then ran as fast as we could.

There’s no zealot like a convert

Jesus.... the Rockies are bad.

She was mistaken. She had him confused with another American candidate. She's happy enough with this fella.

The Chicago diocese had it's issues. Sadly it's just part of the legacy of the Catholic Church.

the right people don't like it. I've seen enough.

I was sad to see Kemp go but I was like 8 years old so.... whatever.

I don't know this for sure but I'd bet Skubal is in Detroit today resting for tomorrow. Teams often do that for the SP when there's travel after a night game.

One of my images of him is in his shorts with the White Sox. They hated that trade. Imagine how we'd feel if we didn't end up with Austin Jackson or Max Scherzer after trading Grandreson?

The boss of this family says your gonna be pope

I did see a tweet where he chastised the VP for "ranking" who we are supposed to love.

my wife says he's conservative
