My dad was halfway through organizing his 45s when he went into the hospital last year. I helped him with some of it, which was very cool listening to his memories of the songs and artists. We took a handful after my mom died and we cleaned out the house, but haven't had the heart to really sit and ...

Just added my 15 year old to our car insurance policy. It was $533 a month for the three of us with three cars, now with 4 drivers and 3 cars, it will be $740 a month. Good times.

Why do my kids need to drive?

That was from a hail storm up there. It's probably vinyl siding, which is popular down here because it's cheap.

I remember destructive tornados and then being told "oh, noooo, those were actually microbursts" as if the flattened house cared if there actually was a funnel or not. I'm in a local (to me) Facebook group that has a lot of northern transplants in it. Periodically, someone asks about homeowner's in...

That's all my kids do on Madden and MLB the Show, are MUT and trading cards or the equivalent. They don't build teams and only recently do they build a player in The Show. It's all completing challenges to get fantasy players or whatever it's called. Very shallow imo, but they are the target demo.

Weird time to bring that up.

I say bae up, suwinski down. Rowdy to the glue factory and trade for a 1B

Brandon Belt is still a free agent, so don't even have to trade anything.

Maybe it's my old ears, but the sound quality from a SiriusXM car unit is poor. Like at best CD quality, which sounds tinny and processed compared to Apple Music. Someone on LGP gave out their login/password info years ago, and I still use the app from time to time. App quality is a little better, b...

Looks like FX wants to do at least one more season of Shogun.

Roansy traded to the Angels. Return is unknown, but it would be funny if they got Cole Tucker back (not sure why they would but lol)

Also, RIP to the six man rotation. Priester optioned, Mlodzinski activated.

We stayed in the Hayes Valley area in 2016. Great central location to everything imo (although we weren't going to Santa Clara).

Everbank is at 5.16%. It's (currently) part of my retirement investment company (TIAA), so it's very easy to track and monitor as it's on the same platform.

Speaking of GOP shenanigans, Governor Big Brain is all in on removing "climate change" verbiage from state law and rolling back environmental regulations. Climate change will be a lesser priority in Florida and largely disappear from state statutes under legislation signed Wednesday by Florida Gov. ...

I overheard the funniest conversation about Starbucks the other day. My wife and I were eating at a (local) pizza place. A guy was there waiting on a to-go order, and mentioned to the cashier about the new Starbucks across the street. And how they have one near every college campus and how stupid it...

Taylor Haase keeps up with the AHL and ECHL affiliates really well.

(David Lowery is a UGA professor, but also founder of seminal 80s and 90s alt rock bands Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker)

Endless social media culture wars are tiresome.

Crossover??

Nice work!

One day in Epcot is a lot and with the unpredictability with weather - for flights and attractions closures - it might not be great idea.

I remember the days before email, way back in the 1980s. We used to go to OBX for two weeks. No phone at the house, although Dad had a state issued cellular phone in the van. He used to go to gas station to call back to his office (at Pitt) to check in. Maybe 1x-2x for the two weeks we were there. F...

I mean, I don't loathe TPM as much as some. But come on. It's not great.

The Fall Guy was great. Lots of callbacks to action movies and of course the OG TV series.

Brandon Belt is still unsigned btw.

MLB.tv is a still a solid Google TV app. I haven't had a subscription in years, but it was always pretty solid, and it's easy to skim through the game and just watch Skenes pitch and the Pirates batters do things.
