  1. We did my one year bone marrow tests on Halloween and finally got the final results yesterday. I am officially in remission at the 1 year mark. These tests last year showed returning disease and sent us to transplant #2. Basically, I have not been cancer free for this long in over 3 years. By no means am I going to start spiking footballs, but it is a huge relief to get over this milestone. Next tests are 6 months away. For now, I am just getting my head around everything. We have had optimism in the past and keep getting kicked down, so we are keeping celebration at a minimum. I need to stay diligent about working out and eating healthier with minimal booze. It sucks, but need to keep the peddle down. As my wife and I have always said, we are just buying time. The longer we go, the longer they will have to find better treatments. I said last Christmas that I just wanted to see my youngest get to kindergarten. Now, we're looking at 1st grade. A bit at a time.
  2. I love Edgar Wright and our Beautiful Boy Glen, but I was really disappointed. It couldn't decide what it wanted to be. It wasn't goofy enough to be fun or it wasn't mean enough to be a serious movie. It was just whiplashing around. The social commentary was there and then they just put giant flashing signs pointing to it throughout. I know, we get it. Glen does a great many things well, but righteous anger isn't one of them. Neither is brooding. He was either miscast or the performance wasn't calibrated correctly (he was great in movie star charisma mode in the movie). Wright is the right person for the lighter half of the movie and the action, but the wrong person for the rest. I wasn't mad I spent two hours seeing it, it just wasn't very good. With the parties involved, I was hoping for more of a fun ride. Colman Domingo is innocent.
  3. The woman with the magnetic stomach killed me. 100% ITYSL bit
  4. What the fuck does this mean? Should he write him a strongly worded letter?
  5. Fuck Kyle Flood. Leave his ass in Georgia. The OL has destroyed this season
  6. I can’t believe how trash our receivers are. All of Arch’a incompletions are drops
  7. My favorite thing is beating OU and them somehow getting in in front of us. So much fun.
  8. In five years, we’ll either be working for him….or dead by his hand.
  9. Jim Downey, the Saturday Night Live writer?
  10. We were in a black cab in London a couple weeks ago and the cabby was confident that the cabs were a safe job for a while. His theory was basically that the self driving cars are way too passive to work in London. He was telling us this as he was (very) aggressively navigating his way through a nasty traffic jam, so it was compelling at the time. Interesting to see that the code is being changed to address that.
  11. I thought the Scorcese documentary series was excellent. They had a lot of the main characters in his life (in front of and behind the camera) being interviewed and he is very open as well. It's a great review of his career and the different phases he went through. I have generally struggled with loving his movies as I always felt he gave his worst characters too much grace. It was interesting to dig into his view on the world and where it comes from.
  12. Not to be pedantic, but what are we defining as a side character? If they’re part of the main cast (Lucille or Ron Swanson), is that side? Frank Costanza and Rafi would more qualify, I would think.
  13. I mean, Boebert and MTG (and Mace to an extent) have been jokes for years. I have to begrudgingly give them some credit for going against the tide of their party on this.
  14. Incredible introduction:
  15. As a follow up, the morgue that is Stamford Bridge, the huge pain in getting out of there and the late loss to Sunderland did not, in fact, reignite anything. I’m glad I went to see an EPL game and see my team, but wasn’t the most exciting experience. The Sunderland fans were on fire though. The people I talked to in London said that the big team stadiums are pretty dead as it’s a lot of out of towners and such who don’t know all of the cheers and how to act. I could definitely feel that around our section (me included). They said the traveling fans are still rowdy though since those are the true fans.
