Japanese corporate culture makes Americans look lazy by comparison. We're seeing the the same results though: higher suicide rates, lower birth rates, & decreasing lifespans.

Tomorrow is just one huge leap closer to baseball season.

Only on FIFA & the Show. Can't on others.

I suppose I could’ve included that time in Naples/Rome. When you had to get the flu shot in your butt from the chef at that villa & I was looking for safety pins on the street to pierce my ear.

Nevermind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college.

Physical Concepts of Time
Economic History of Native Americans
Southern Fiction
Critical Study of Hitler
Democratic Vistas: Crime and Punishment (we visited the Louisiana State Pen for this one!)

And I was just clearing room for a visit to Easy Street…never again.

Seattle Mariners Diamond Dash | Seattle Mariners We’re hosting the inaugural Diamond Dash 5K/1K fun run on Saturday, March 21 at T-Mobile Park!

5K at T-Mobile is back! See you there!

Mid-90s me in heaven having secured tickets to the Afghan Whigs supported by Mercury Rev in May. Bonus points for getting Snail Mail tickets happening the week before too!

This just in... the Los Angeles Dodgers to acquire Greenland!!

Beginning to think this team is built more for the CL than the league. No low blocks. Less cynical challenges. Better referees (marginally).

Hasn't scored since I received his shirt.

I had this one for 5 years and yest wasn’t my worst exp there tbh. I just finally had enough. The one I had before was incredible - I could tell they weren’t impressed by previous work. Their Ofc Mgr was embezzling & it sent the practice into a tailspin. I’ll likely check in with them again.

It’s only 930 and has already been a kinda crap day. At least Snail Mail announced a new album.

Got up and walked out of a dental exam today. Hygienist just skipped a whole quarter of my mouth with the water-pick & then repeatedly stuck me in the gums. I just raised my arm, took off the bib, and walked out. Unbelievable what we pay for these days.

It's time to stop overreacting to dropped points in January. April or May sure, but it's January and Arsenal have a deep squad.

At every stage of baseball's evolution it has mirrored American culture including now when a relative few teams have the financial power of the combined resources of the rest.

The ending of Muppets Take Manhattan is way too abrupt.

It’s 2026. The revolution won’t be represented by a streaming algorithm.

Traveling back from La. home and there are so many unmasked obviously sick people around. If you have to travel and you’re sick, then buy a fucking pack of masks and use them!

And time to log off for tonight.

People would record 120 Minutes & we’d have screenings at a coffee shop. Haha! Same with South Park when it started. Oh, the pre-internet days….

I love these! I was the Music Director of my college radio station at the time and we had no other rock or alternative station with 60 miles, MTV was not available through cable, and internet was still barely available. I basically controlled music and (to me) it’s amazing how right I got it.

I’m still in 2025 until I get my Dad’s estate settled. You can’t tell me any different.

Try the Hot Rats cover…it might tide you over for another day or two.

I’m going to have to remove Running Up that Hill from my running playlist. Don’t need to hear it for a while…even on accident.

Going to be one of those days. Office coffee machine is broken so I went to Ghost Alley for an Americano. Upon return to the office, I inadvertently opened the door for the coffee machine repair person.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

Me and dad at a baseball game.

Not the call you want to get 5 minutes before boarding a 4 hour flight home after visiting with your mother-in-law for the pre-holidays. RIP Dad. A sweet guy who just let life happen to him. I’ll miss chatting, but not the worrying about you.
