I’m so grateful we get to experience someone like Shohei Ohtani. Forget whatever team he plays for, it’s just amazing we get to see someone do this stuff.

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

Today, a student told me she's really getting into Toni Morrison's Paradise, & she would never have picked up this book if she hadn't been in this class.
So it was a good day.

It’s as if Astaire’s sense of the sounds he wanted and Berlin’s sense of Fred’s essence, his image, added up to a third personality, a city boy harnessed to a country boy in the cause of that magnificent anomaly, American sophistication.

Watching LAD vs NYY & they keep running the catfishing Nana mattress commercial. It's disturbing in & of itself, but is made moreso by the fact that I used to play in a church handball choir with the actress.

When my aunt died, about 8 years ago, I inherited her Dodgers paraphernalia & some of her scarves. I wore one yesterday & it still smells of her perfume. (I want to say Halston?)

With the loss of aid in the government to places like Africa, it's all the more important to support organizations like bloodwater.org.
Of course, that also gets me thinking about Jars of Clay, which has me listening to their last album...

The commissioner of baseball keeps calling me up at all hours of the day and night and giving me spoken permission to retransmit pictures and descriptions of tonight's game, but I know it's a trap, since he has not given me express written permission. Nice try, commissioner!

People talk about Millennials and Gen-Z being so selfish and self-centered, but almost 50 percent, boomers included, ready to vote based solely on self interest and not what's best for the country. Like I'm a Christian but I'm not gonna vote to make some Evangelical's belief system mandatory...

Watching a random old Red Dwarf, and incredible how the "Execution of Winnie the Pooh by Nazis" bit is sharper, funnier and genuinely edgier considering he was still under copyright than any public domain horror crap that's been done with him in the last couple of years.
