I hear you. I memorized the basebally ones but forgot them over time. Then I printed out a cheat sheet and it works (although I have bumped the font size a few times as I get older!). I still remember Alt-0151 is an em-dash and the codes for curly single- and double-quotes because I use them a lot.

Good news: I had the horse-human exacta!

MS Excel has been made far better in the last five years.

Actually more like his life after baseball was affected by his behaviour after baseball.

It does suck. But you can speed it up by learning the Alt-codes.

Hockey is the best sport live.

Huh. I liked the movie except for the cacophonous hamboning of Crystal and Kane.

I'm pretty sure the Pope has the #1 see.

That's how my family describes me!

Goat parkour.

How about a law saying no government official who cuts off funding for a rental voucher program can shoot off his big trap about rental housing.

Osie Johnson? Did you ever meet him?

Instead of a paddle, he appears to be using Fred Astaire's old walking stick.

My karaoke go-to is "Mack the Knife," the 1959 Bobby Darin version. Trivia 1: the great trumpet work is by Doc Severinsen, leader of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show Orchestra (actually a band; no strings). Trivia 2: the song was recorded the day after my first birthday.

Thanks. I was really touched by the sentiments of the ballplayer I mentioned towards the end.

I'm guessing he's had a few 120-MPH O'Neil foul liners whiz past his melon.

And, in an odd coincidence, Vance looks like a potatoe.

Pre-emptive gambit against millions of readers saying, "No way, man, a thumb is not a finger."

Surely the work will continue elsewhere.

If you mean info on Maxwell, there's tons. He stole tens of millions of pounds (sterling) from his companies' pension funds and was later found floating face down in the Atlantic off the Canary Islands. Quickly ruled accidental, nothing to see here, move along by the authorities.

"Dear Honey... I'm sorry that I can't get home for dinner. I know this is twice in a week, but Adolf Hitler would spot the pattern and act decisively."

Many of them are hawks...

Hey, maybe some of them are like Vance, practising heterosectionals.

Like listening devices? Or Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria?

First one I thought of.

Me, too!

"BREAKING"? Since when is reading old journalism "breaking" news? FFS Maxwell's Wikipedia article cites a 2003 piece in The Telegraph reporting that "The (UK) Foreign Office suspected Maxwell of being an agent," almost certainly financed by Russia," with links to the Soviet KGB.

My youngest just finished her Master's.

I interviewed Chris Smither a long time ago. Very interesting and thoughtful guy. His show was tremendous too. Gonna go dig around for some tunage. Thanks for the reminder.
