Just a dude trying to see as many baseball stadiums and microbreweries as I can before I die. These things may be counterproductive...
I'm just going to watch some Season 3 Simpsons episodes tonight. Why yes, I would be more comfortable talking to Snappy the Alligator right now...

It's always sobering to be reminded how lucky I am to speak a language that is so catered to. Traveling in Europe and pretty much everything is secondarily (and often primarily) in English, even in Hungary (a language i have no ability to decipher).

Took me a while to warm up to Peyton & Eli but they won me over. Now Belichick completely sucks the fun out of the room as soon as he comes on.

Ok. Been out in the backyard for 45 mins and I'm just going to say that smudge with a tail is Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. Definitely not like in the photos😐. Reminds me of The Great Perseids Disaster of 2017.

Why is the swinging Padre on Darvish/Tatis/Higashioka's R sleeve but on Arraez/Cronenworth's L sleeve? That's going to drive my OCD brain crazy for the rest of the series.

Somehow, the foodcourt in Charlotte Airport has obtained access to my Spotify account. I have no idea how this happened! Glad I have 3 hrs to kill.

I love how the GOP candidate for the newly invented House District 2 in AL has an ad where she's bemoaning the Washington insiders who don't get how hard it is for working families while she fills up what looks like a 1970s F-100 that prob gets 8mpg.

I may be late to the party, but I just realized you can't make "Beetlejuice" then 36 yrs later, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" and NOT have the 3rd movie already in the queue. TBH I'm sure Winona will still look great at 88 y/o!

Anyone else have memories of parents/siblings going to a movie, describing it to you afterwards and blowing your mind? I distinctly remember my parents talking about a monster bursting from a guy's chest at dinner and a dude escaping the cops, jumping off a cliff and sewing his arm back together.

They just showed a guy in a Texas sweatshirt cheering in the OSU stands. Did that sly dog just hustle down from Ann Arbor so he could double up on the Michigan shame?

From a PR standpoint, do we really want to name a ship taking 3.5 years to go home-to-home "The Odyssey?" Not exactly reassuring to 99% of the occupants.

Back on a (semi) old school Game of Thrones kick. I think one of the biggest disappointments for me was phasing out the direwolves. Two things I'm a sucker for: a named blade and an animal familiar.
