  1. Could have been worse. Like VMI.
  2. Lol my psycho ex was a Sweetbriar Vixen. Not because of her, but I still think pink and green are great school colors.
  3. Yeah I realize that and corrected my post. Like I said I don't really watch unless it's the Astros or if Im entertaining clients at Globe Life.
  4. I was really surprised to learn this is Don Mattingly’s first series.
  5. My nephew died by suicide 2 years ago. His brother is a blue Jays fan. I don't even watch baseball much but I want the Jays to win to give my sister’s family some joy.
  6. Flying in Sunday for client meetings next week at 1 Madison, any special places for a leisurely Sunday evening around Madison Square Park/Flatiron district? Anything to see in the 20s? Not my usual haunts. Hell, I'm staying in a nondescript Hyatt simply because walking distance to work and no yellow flags in concur.
  7. By my math my wife has made approximately 364 gumbos since we met, and she is going through a particularly trying, stressful time. Coincidentally or not, this week’s pot was an outlier to the mean, easily in the top 2%. Damned near perfect. I'm trying to isolate what she did 7.28 times since 2011. Just when you think you know someone…lagniappe. Medical researchers have their mice, I have a cajun woman.
  8. Man, I’ll never forget that morning when you wrote some gibberish post and ended it with I’m going to rehab. You're a miracle, friend. Sincerely happy for you on stringing together that many days. I ain’t judging about your lack of meetings because I didn’t have the pressure of small children whenever I finally made it to AA, but if I lived where you did, I would absolutely be in AA heaven with all of the conferences and meetings in Aberdeen, Southern Pines, and places like that. I know it’s not your immediate area. many giants in the program are either from or retired to that area. Then again, I love that stuff, and my late great grand sponsor Dave C was part of that lineage.
  9. From my daughter in Chicago. This is on the north side. She does lean towards hyperbole but still…
  10. Had my 35th HS reunion last night. About 9 I looked at one of my best friends who is staying in my guest bedroom and said tomorrow looks nice. So we did an Irish goodbye and went this morning. Unfortunately I skunked him as I wanted him to do the catching.
  11. What a dumbass, showboating along the goal line taunting UNT before stepping in the end zone. It would have been awesome if that North Texas player punched the ball out.
  12. Pm sent. Give me a call.
  13. My answer is 3/26, which is when I finally get the fucking fedRAMP moderate check box on my platform and can go balls deep into federal defense integrators. Demo’d a CICD pipeline AI SaaS tool today for a defense contractor that in 6 months I can sell for $5m. They still haven’t figured out they let a money grubbing hippie librul peacenik into the JADC2 kill cycle money go brrrrr ecosystem.
  14. If you can swing the commute of just over an hour from Naperville to a hotel in River North and then another hour in the morning to the Airport, that will give you a great feel for the City. And bonus if you can get a dusk or evening boat tour. I’ve stayed at the W on lakeshore drive, the Marriott Marquis in a high NE corner suite with city and lake views, and the Hotel Chicago (Autograph) by River North and they all had good views but weren’t cheap. The latter used to be the office complex part of the corncob buildings and is a block from the river and walking distance to some great restaurants. Neat hotel with a muted, contemporary vibe. Otherwise I’m crashing at my daughter’s 5th story walkup in Andersonville that I suspect is an old convent, which is a cool neighborhood vibe with lots of good old school cool restaurants and a shitload of lesbians. It really depends on the vibe you want. My wife spent her adolescence in Naperville so she loves going back to the old neighborhood.
  15. Did anybody buy ASTS when I mentioned it? It crossed 80 on news that Verizon will be using their sats soon. I’m kicking myself for not getting in at $0.25. My kid got in at $4 and is about to use it to buy a house. The real user will be the DOD though.
  16. Thanks for the free money. 97% since I threw 10k shares in my stonks portfolio a few days ago.
  17. Boat tour is a must for a first timer, explains a lot about riverfront access and setbacks and why Chicago architecture is unique. If you’re staying near Millennium Park, I can recommend Gage as a nice place to eat. Especially if the weather is nice and you can sit outside overlooking Michigan ave and the park. Wildberry pancakes is just down the street near Michigan and Randolph and is an awesome breakfast place.
  18. He’s still updating Facebook and says they are going to try skin grafts. I told him I’ve got a box of elbow length latex gloves for when he gets to fish again.
  19. I know I should spoiler this shit but I don’t know how on tapa.
  20. One of my older buddies is retired and fishes Sabine. A lot. About 4 times a week on average. And he basically acts as an unpaid guide, donating trips as a raffle prize to just about every area charity. He caught the flesh eating bacteria on his hand, fishing from a boat. All I know is he was in the ICW. Currently in the burn unit at John Sealy hospital in Galveston, and I’m not posting the photos but his right arm below the elbow has no skin. It’s gruesome. As a PSA, I guess it’s a good idea to use hand sanitizer or carry some dude wipes, especially as I get older.
  21. ChatGPT picked Dan Lanning. Actually it picked Kirby Smart and Ryan Day but said they would be stupid to leave their current jobs.
  22. I’ve survived and thrived among you people for nearly 1.5 decades by withholding comment on your foot-ball team. Having said that, I’m looking forward to seeing how the Red Raiders and Aggies play this even-ing. Edit- you can’t run CFL plays in this league, #1.
  23. My question exactly, the student section looked about 75% empty in the 4th. Maybe everyone left when the Bears went down 31-17.
