in the bottom of the 9th inning of a tie game, I sent the first pitch I saw over the left field fence for the only home-run I would ever hit to beat my own team.

Went to my original team’s huddle post game and had the soaked in all the glares while I downed my post game orange slices. (3/3)

frustrated with my inability to play to my ability, decides to send me over to the other team, probably to help our pitcher, his son, get a couple easy outs.

That day I discovered the cure to my anxiety: spite.

Played the best game of baseball I will ever play. A single, two doubles, and (2/3)

Middle school baseball, I could hit well during practice but in games, I’d get nervous and couldn’t do a thing.

We have a game one Saturday morning where the opposing team only has 8 kids show up so my coach, a good ole dip chewing Lousiana country boy who was constantly (1/3)

I say alleged because I’ve talked to Bob Woodward’s coauthor Scott Armstrong and he doesn’t know the actual painting and my art research on this painting that made one of the other Justice bashful hasn’t found a match so I think it’s misattributed to Daumier at the very least.

There’s a long history of weird semi naked art in Supreme Court chambers; see the alleged Daumier in Justice White’s chamber from The Bretheren.

If they could do it for Little House of Horrors they could do it for West Side Story, Spielberg let them get on a bus and run away to Des Monies to live happily ever after

We played offensive line together in middle school and I’m starting to realize I might not have been the key to our running game success.

King Crimson - Night Watch is about the Rembrandt painting of the same.

Steely Dan - The Caves of Altamira is about said cave paintings but it might not be descriptive enough.

Would do anything to have all the marching band uniforms be correct in the college football game. As a former band kid it’s my biggest pet peeve. And the generic one is so horrible looking.

It’s strange that in the MLB they say manager but in college baseball they say head coach

Love afternoon midweek baseball. Perfect vibes full of retirees, people with the day off, and the unemployed.

Told myself I needed to start work on post-clerkship job applications today so you know what that means: intense procrastination cleaning to the new Mario Kart soundtrack. Resume is untouched so far but the apartment is spotless at least.

Making gumbo listening to old episodes of Car Talk while I stir the roux. Can’t complain about spending a Sunday like this.

At first I expected there was some DC restaurant near the courthouse mashing together all their ingredients but that recipe is the only thing I can find on the internet suggesting combining tomatoes with crab, sausage, oysters and okra in a gumbo.

Setting aside whatever is causing DC judges from Massachusetts to talk like theyre from the bayou, I’m more intetsted in the strange ingredient combo mixing Creole, land and sea. After some digging I’m convinced someone in that chambers followed this strange recipe. andrewzimmern.com/recipes/ando...

Old baseball stadiums are something else. Such a great deal. It's a really good looking poll.

Inter Milan and Barcelona should be allowed to play soccer against each other forever. These two games have been some of the most wildly entertaining matches I’ve seen.

We need to separate legal and typographical terminology. When I say β€œI hate when a court doesn’t justify their opinion” yes I don’t like unsupported opinions but I’m mostly whining about word spacing.

A college basketball center with a bald spot just feels right. Every great team has a 23 year old who looks 43.

Just like teachers sometimes have class outside when it’s a really beautiful day, judges should be able to hold court outside.

Just a yearly reminder that an alligator is a reptile, except during Lent when it's a fish.
