Fixed an apparently defective peppa pig toy track with a utility knife. The feeling of accomplishment is akin to that of the early man who harnessed the power of fire.

I think they’ve shown in the past that NHL attendance and viewership jumps after the Olympics. People watch, see that it’s essentially a different game and most drift away.

The Olympics are fun to watch but what does the NHL get out of it? As a Penguins fan, I'd much rather watch them win Cups than see Team USA or Crosby win a gold.

Crosby possibly with a serious injury in the Olympics? Not good!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. fighting Mike Tyson in an exhibition match. Who asked for this? Who wants this? Why would anyone debase themselves and watch this?
SPOILER: Floyd will allow Mike to clip him lightly with one punch, pretend he's hurt, then play patty-cake. Then they'll collect millions.

Half marathon is May 3rd. I think this’ll be number 7 for me? Don’t remember for sure. Anyway, here are some goal tiers:
Reasonable/normal: sub-1:45
Aspirational: sub-1:40
I’m having the best run of my life: sub-1:37
Investigate me for blood doping: sub-1:30
Perpetual: Don’t stop to poop

A strange thing that keeps happening whenever I'm sketching out thoughts about what the Pirates might do this year is that I forget about Oneil Cruz altogether. Adding Lowe, O'Hearn and Ozuna, with Griffin looming and Skenes still being Skenes has, for me at least, turned Cruz into an afterthought.
