I had a British couple this morning at work and I told them that we were watching the funeral this morning. I mentioned that the connection with their queen seemed to be almost a part of their national identity. They thought that was an accurate way to put it because they have only known her as their head of state.
They also said they think Charles is not long for the throne and they want William instead. I don’t follow much of the royal family, but when you have so many tourists from the UK regularly you get an education so to speak.

Helobious just, well, just keep on keep in’ on if you feel the need to. None of this really matters. Just enjoy the games for the entertainment that they are.

Is this good? Seems like he might get a few okay offers at the winter meetings.

Going on Wednesday and Thursday to see the Yanks. It would be cool if Judge can perhaps tie or break the record in that game with the Red Sox.

Trying to shame republicans is a waste of time.
a stronger signal is to discover what federal law was broken and arrest Abbott and DeSantis.
Shouldn’t take the DOJ long to figure it out. If you want to be an inhumane cretin then it’s FAFO time for everyone participating in this, but especially these two.

Dennis Schroeder back to the Lakers for around 2.7 million. This is both a good deal for the Lakers and humorous at the same time. Schroeder taking that deal after what he was offered by the Lakers when he first arrived, well, what a change in contract value this is. Also Westbrook needs to be shown the door before the season starts.

I usually get pretty bummed out on my birthday.
Last year I did one of those Facebook fundraisers with a goal of like $200 for Mobile Loaves and Fishes. People ended up giving like $1200. Most of it was from people I haven’t spoken to or seen in a decade or more.
I was very overwhelmed with gratitude and ended up crying about it, in a good way.
Aww man this is a really good stuff! People can be so amazing when given the chance to do so. This is the type of thing we should talk about more often with others.

Happy Birthday, friendo!
That is good stuff.
Thank you. It was a cool day and the people at work made the day fun. Opened a gift last night from my three year old niece. It was a picture my mom framed of the first time I met her in-person last January back in Texas. My mom, who I also do not ask for gifts from because having her as a mom is more than enough, had four pictures blown up and put on a canvas. One was a picture of the first time I stood up on a surfboard some years back in SoCal at Huntington Beach. Seeing those four pictures was pretty awesome.

I am going to mention this solely because this might be something that is good for y’all’s mental health. Today is my birthday and I worked. No big deal because it’s the middle of the week. I decided to actually tell a few co-workers it was my birthday which I normally do not do. What I did different was I gave some gifts to some folks I work with and I made salsa and some chicken fajitas for everyone to eat, including the kitchen staff.
I wanted people at work to know they are valued and getting them something seemed to be a better way to spend my birthday. I got more than one “But it’s your birthday so why get us something?” I said that the opportunity to make someone’s day better when they aren’t expecting it was a gift all unto itself. I would love to do this every year going forward as a way to celebrate others and the positive impact they have upon myself and those they are around.

This is a pretty cool moment for the sport. Both of these guys are going to be really good for a long time. Alcaraz is just on another level amongst his peers right now. I hope the sport markets him and some of the other young men and women to help grow tennis not just here, around the world.
-
He wins on Sunday and he can officially be the heir apparent to the Big Three. Watching what Alcaraz can do at the age of 19 on that court is nothing short of amazing. I have never seen a player cover as much ground as he does and do it so effortlessly. It’s kinda cool to watch an athlete transform from phenom into superstar like this.
Ruud can get it though too. Watching him today was pretty fun. Khachanov was completely overmatched and Ruud covers ground pretty fast as well and has a really strong backhand. I hope Sunday is another 5 setter. This US OPEN has been incredible for the sport as a whole.

Tiafoe is in trouble.
His first serve tonight, to be kind, has been subpar. His forehand is also not real good. Those are two things you need to have working to beat this guy.

I stayed out there all day, but I have to be up at 6am so I left in the 2nd set that I was watching on the big screen. If Alcaraz holds on I think I will at least go back on Sunday for the viewing party. The battle to be #1 with Ruud and Alcaraz will be ridiculously entertaining if it happens.

This will be a cool movie. I’ll be there opening night for this. I really enjoyed Knives Out and suspect I’ll like all the movies to come in this franchise. Good on Daniel Craig for doing more movies as Benoit Blanc!
-
That was a really cool post-match interview by Ruud. He really put in perspective that he has battles with his nerves out there just like everyone else and that while he hopes to win he can handle things not going his way. What a great attitude at such a young age.
-
Khachanov gutted that set out. Glad this match is going to at least a 4th set. The crowd has been great this afternoon.
-
Ruud looked really good in the 2nd set. His energy and court coverage are much better than Khachanov. He might get this done quickly if he gets off to a fast start again in the 3rd.
-
Well set point sure made up for the rest of the first set! That was a pretty awesome rally.
-
This first set has been really disjointed with no flow to it. It’s been like watching a couple of drunks fling beer mugs at each other. Here’s hoping the quality of play improves as this goes forward.

Texas has now literally targeted every aspect of the care I provide through my clinic lmao
It's almost like the state is telling this dyke to gtfo
When the government of a state tells you exactly who they are and exactly how difficult they are willing to make your life believe them. I hope you are able to relocate to a state where who you are and what you do for a living are both fully respected.

I have been four times:
2010- first week day grounds pass
2013- first week Arthur Ashe night ticket
2016- second week Arthur Ashe night ticket (Quarterfinal: Del Potro v Wawrinka)
2022- opening night Arthur Ashe (Serena then Nick Kyrgios)
That’s some cool memories right there that you have made. I definitely need to be back next year. I would love to go again this time, but those prices are getting up there.

Man this was such an awesome experience. I definitely need to come back and go to more matches. The energy was really cool throughout and overall it is something I think every sports fan should experience.

I see Lampasas is playing Wimberley this week with a chance to go 4-1. Had they done anything offensively in the 4th quarter against Elgin in the opening week they’d both come in at 4-0.
