Am I wrong in thinking Leo plays a modern-day Lebowski in "One Battle After Another"?

The joys of parenting young-ish kids means mean watching "One Battle Another" over 3-4 nights due to your own personal exhaustion and movie length ... the second Avatar was a five-night extravaganza ...

I just eliminated "revenge bedtime" ... but is there such a thing as "revenge wakeup" as well?

Out of curiosity, does anyone like their mattress?

You know you're old when you're like, "Yes, rain! No neighbors outdoors partying on NYE!"

Update! My son took the Alonso news very well ... and said we can go to an Orioles game to get our Mets/Alonso ball signed ... the kid has solid perspective!

And he's still in the time of life where baseball players are heroes and such ... so yeah ...

Dreading telling my Mets obsessed son that Pete Alonso signed with the Orioles ... this is parenting, folks!

Whenever I feel tired, I think if 99-year-old Mel Brooks making a new "Spaceballs" and suddenly feel a surge of energy ...

How we've (so far) avoided KPop Demon Hunters I have nothing against the show. It just somehow hasn't been a

We didn't try to avoid "KPop Demon Hunters" but it just so happens that we haven't had a chance to watch it so far ... which is wild, considering how it's been such a major part of pop culture this summer!

I feel like there's a correlation with how I feel about life and the @mets.com winning. I don't think this is healthy ...

So if I start posting stuff here, what do you want? Sports? Pop culture? Dad with two small kids type things?

I've not enjoyed seeing coffee prices go up, but Trader Joe's has a least kept theirs reasonable. And the product is just as good if not better ...

Nacho Libre is a great film for kids … that is all. Enjoy your Saturday!

My hot take — we will 100 percent not be talking about Juan Soto's running in a week ... maybe even in a day ...

I believe he's the first ex-Vandy player to be a head coach/manager in MLB, NBA or NFL.

Great person who, no doubt, will do an awesome job!

Why music and sports go together At a recent Angels game, a disco party broke out when Kenley Jansen entered to pitch.

My kids have really gotten into space-related books by Stacy McNaulty. They're easily digestible for young kids and have facts and figures older kids will find interesting. Check out her work. It's tremendous! Make sure your school library has her books!

Kids, exercise, and finding balance We all want to stay fit, but sometimes running around with your kids is enough.

When I was younger, if I had an injury, I'd still exercise and it would somehow magically get better. At age 42 (and with kids) it's a bit different. How does one cope when your kids want to play but your body needs a break?

Why Formula 1 is great for kids Formula 1 has turned into an incredible learning vessel in our household.

In 2021, we put on a @f1tv.bsky.social race early in the morning. I didn't know it would change the trajectory of my family's sports fandom ...

When your young Mets fan child comes home and immediately turns on Juan Soto highlights...

Cobra Kai is the best show on television. That is all ... loving this latest five-episode drop ...

As a Mets fan, should I want Juan Soto over Pete Alonso? Or does that completely destroy their chemistry? Or am I just being nostalgic?

Hey, I'm here! Let's do this!
