Between my daily outrage at the orange baby and trying to plan and execute selling our shack and moving 1,200 miles back to Arizona with 3 cats & a dog, my 74-year-old nerves are in rebellion

Sigh. The world needed more Todd Sniders, not fewer. Check out his catalogue. No musician this side of John Prine made me smile (or laugh out loud) more.

I finally got the Fubo free trial, not because of missing all that football, but so my wife could watch 9-1-1. And I got my $20 YouTube TV credit. So I’m on top of this.

Donald Trump is the most powerful person in the world. Only a monster would use that power to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.

As long as YouTube TV is sole home of NFL SundayTicket and (especially) Red Zone, customer loss due to Disney battle should be minimal. Seems to this addled mind that Disney has more to lose short term

It’s Halloween and things aren’t scary enough I guess so the The Regime is apparently now going to start a war with Venezuela.

Been to many great cities in my working days, but never Toronto, Boston or Chicago (except a night at O’Hare Marriott after a missed connection). Big regrets. Maybe someday
