  1. Not sure about this year's (fall's) boosters, but my sixteen year old finally got COVID with this latest strain. He was vaccinated the first go-round, but I don't think he was boosted last year. He was fine after a week. I was boosted last September and didn't get it from him. My wife, who took him to urgent care and definitely was exposed to him (and I to her), missed getting boosted last year and didn't get it from him. I hear this one is pretty contagious but relatively mild compared to previous strains. But we managed to stay healthy even with direct exposure. As per usual, I'll get my Flu and Covid shots at the same time next month and not worry about it.
  2. Oh, I think that guy was already there with his banjo.
  3. Same
  4. You can't kick ass all day unless you start in the morning.
  5. I'm not surprised. But as my brother-in-law once remarked, Sam played a lot better than Hurt-Sam. Still, this was awesome:
  6. A designed Arch run or option will happen a few times each game just to show that we will to keep the opposing D honest. Then there will be the broken play/keeper. I have no doubt that he won't have trouble forgetting to slide or get out of bounds when he needs to do so. It's a strength. We're going to employ it as necessary.
  7. When I watch the game with my wife, I have to keep an eye on one of our dogs when my wife starts yelling at the TV. The 6 year old sweetest-lab-mix-in-the-world does not like it when Mama ain't happy.
  8. I cooked some up tonight. Man, am I ever pleased with how these turned out. Good snap and great texture.
  9. Earzup! podcast is good too (or at least the people that run it were good ona beer podcast I used to follow.
  10. This reminds me of what could have been. When my kids were "Disney aged," and I was planning our vacation, I asked, do you want to go to Disney World or do you want to go skiing. They always said "Skiing!" They are now 20 and 16, have never been to Disney, and are good snow skiers. My poor brother in law has been to Disney well over a dozen times by my estimate. It's become a bit of a tradition for his family, poor guy.
  11. Valde molestum est tantum strepitum et tam parvam cupiditatem consistendi et de rebus critice cogitandi. It's no "E pluribus unum," but it fits.
  12. This pretty well sums up my feelings about society.
  13. Lovely stock, etc.
  14. Are the latter going up at the same time, or will that be a later announcement?

  16. It's like that summer camp movie. The bones didn't get bigger. The meat got smaller. /I saw that movie on Great Value Cinemax. I didn't notice any ribs.
  17. Like I said, I recanted. But as someone mentioned above, consistency (and excellence) are kings in 2025. A mediocre meal at any known joint in Texas 12 years ago would have been on par with amazing.
  18. Hard flashback for me just now watching that. Fuuuuuck!
