Are the Giants in town while you're there? That ballpark is a pretty nice place to watch a game. I'd agree with all that's been said here about Alcatraz, the Wharf, etc. I drove the Lombard twist and I thought it was a blast. What tripped me out was the long climb up the steep hills by the Coit Tow...

I remember him best from when he was the bad boss Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, and Jane Fonda strung up in 9 to 5.

The whole SiriusXM billing model is nuts. So one vehicle plus streaming costs $370 a year but if you call and even casually mention the word "cancel" it drops to $107. No argument, no bickering, nothing. I suppose it's because so many people just pay full price that it's no skin off their nose to gi...

We get all our plants at Petitti in Youngstown. They are pricy but high quality. They appear to carry ferns. Not that near the city I know.

So the cost of this is probably sub $1000 I am guessing? $500 for the airfare, $100 to get to the park and back, $100 for the park ticket, $200 for meals if they go all out, $100 for random other stuff? Not a trip my wife would do but seems fairly harmless. Seems like a lot of effort for a day at EP...

It’s engrained, too. I felt bad for taking the day off today with my dog passing. My boss and every one of my employees and colleagues said, do not worry about work today.

But I’m here worried about work. It is a culture problem.

Clearly some people don't understand the "roast" concept. People take over the top shots at the roastee, those associated with the roastee, the fellow roasters, and then the roastee takes over the top shots at the roasters. Easy concept. It's supposed to be cruel. Some are funny, some aren't so funn...

This year is absolutely bananas for our peaches. Last year was pretty great but I bet we have twice the baby peaches on the trees this year. We got within a few degrees last month of not having any. It sucks because you have to go out and pull so many of them off the trees. If you don’t thin them ou...
