Six families from three states came together at a hospital in Iowa over the past two weeks in support of a man awaiting diagnosis.

Proud of us.

I'm seeing lists of corporations and wealthy individuals who are generously helping to pay the government's bills.
Has there ever been a clearer demonstration showing who is currently under-taxed?

Haven't stayed up this late for baseball since a Twins/Cleveland game in 1993. Would have stayed for all 22 innings but had to work the next day.

Recently, a new DJ on KALX played a request from her friend. Half way through, she realizes the song doesn't have KALX vibes and she pulls the plug. It could have worked though. Just follow up The Trees by Rush with Stonehenge by Spinal Tap. Two wrongs= a right. It'd work I think.

Michael Lewis published a book in 2021 called Premonition. If you don't support JFK, you at least shouldn't be surprised. Of course, COVID is just theoretical, for me anyway, I can say now 8 days later.

I loved Twitter. Now, I think of her only when at odd moments she reenters.
She changed her name to Ex. That's okay, in retrospect.
