And he's still in the time of life where baseball players are heroes and such ... so yeah ...
Dreading telling my Mets obsessed son that Pete Alonso signed with the Orioles ... this is parenting, folks!

We didn't try to avoid "KPop Demon Hunters" but it just so happens that we haven't had a chance to watch it so far ... which is wild, considering how it's been such a major part of pop culture this summer!

I feel like there's a correlation with how I feel about life and the @mets.com winning. I don't think this is healthy ...

I've not enjoyed seeing coffee prices go up, but Trader Joe's has a least kept theirs reasonable. And the product is just as good if not better ...

My hot take — we will 100 percent not be talking about Juan Soto's running in a week ... maybe even in a day ...

I believe he's the first ex-Vandy player to be a head coach/manager in MLB, NBA or NFL.

My kids have really gotten into space-related books by Stacy McNaulty. They're easily digestible for young kids and have facts and figures older kids will find interesting. Check out her work. It's tremendous! Make sure your school library has her books!

Cobra Kai is the best show on television. That is all ... loving this latest five-episode drop ...

As a Mets fan, should I want Juan Soto over Pete Alonso? Or does that completely destroy their chemistry? Or am I just being nostalgic?
