Speaking of being obsessed, I keep checking the #DUPR app for the latest updated algorithmic rating.
Played 8 games last night, going 5-3. Impatient to see how those games affect my rating. 😬
Been 15 hours since the club uploaded the games. Seen A LOT of adds as I keep refreshing…

Have a love hate relationship with #DUPR ratings in #pickleball.
On one hand, DUPR ratings allow my club to more easily set up more evenly matched matches, meaning fun/tight games.
On the other hand, too easy to become obsessed about the rating instead because focusing on the joy/fun of the game.

This young Wolves fan is very upset that Jonas Valanciunas made the 2nd free throw to deny fans a free chicken sandwich

And this is why any team with playoff aspirations, like my #Timberwolves, should never ever entertain the idea of trading for him. Even at eventual fire-sale pricing.
Go #Wolves.

Fun fact: Cooper Flagg has played 441 minutes for the Mavs this season, more than Anthony Davis has in his Mavs career (415).

Snowed last night. And this morning I’m off to #pickleball. In shorts. Because I’m a midwesterner and it’s not cold until negative or near-negative temps.
Am wearing a hoodie though. 😉. Mainly for the cooldown afterwards. 🤣

The shutdown is so stupid and demoralizing: debating whether to starve folks or deny them health care. Ick.
SNAP costs about $273M a day. That’s huge but for perspective Tesla just awarded Musk $878B, which would cover daily SNAP costs for 3,216 days. Or almost 9 years.

Hey #Timberwolves fans, the early roster struggles have more to do with roster construction, injuries (Ant, Clark & TSJ) and Naz’s sister’s death than Finch and his rotations.
Assuming no new injuries, the #Wolves are about to go on a 9-2 or 6-3 streak.
Cheers.

Dilly fans aren’t going to be want to hear this, but…
Rob should be crushing the garbage time competition if he truly “deserves” rotation minutes, even deep rotation minutes.
We want him to. And will need him to. But he ain’t ready. Yet.

Duluth ballot initiative would allow tenants to pay for repairs and deduct costs from their rent
The so-called “Right to Repair” initiative would allow renters to pay for minor repairs and deduct the cost from their rent if landlords fail to respond. But some worry tenants could be left footing t...

Yay #Minneapolis! Love ranked voting, where candidates have to legit talk about issues to distinguish themselves in a crowded field.
I don’t always want or agree with the tribal choices of the party establishments.
TL;DR - Coke or Pepsi might be nice but sometimes I wanta Fanta. Or a beer.

What a world we live in, where the debate is whether is eat or have health care.
And where half of those debating are on a paid vacation, while feasting and consuming THEIR health care.

Best #TrickOrTreat run we’ve ever had!
* Candy exhausted as of 730pm.
* 22 groups and 71 kids.
* Number of kids is our new record.
In our home of 10 years, previous record was 27 groups and 67 kids.
Wish we had more candy as we would have crushed the old record and top a 100 easily.

Hey Coach Finch haters: no amount of coaching can “age up” a teenager into a 20-something with a mature mind and body.
18yo me would have been destroyed by 23yo me; wouldn’t even a shot off!
23yo me would get owned by 28yo me, fouling out in minutes due to a hot head.
