    I used to think of the end of July as sort of the midway point of summer. You still had a whole month (and a little more) of summer left. Now, with school starting in early August (and back-to-school sales … Continue reading →

    This post has been coming for two or three years now. It’s sensitive, yes, but not time sensitive, and really could appear today or any day in the Trump era. Today just happens to be the day. Much of the … Continue reading →

    Losers of three out of four, my hometown Nationals have lost that All-Star Break glow surrounding the franchise only last week. Now two games below .500 and seven back of the Braves, at least they’re saving Papa John’s some money … Continue reading →

    It’s here. This is the summer event we’re really waiting for… Shark Week! Older than Twitter, older than Facebook, older than most people I know, Shark Week still dominates summer TV schedules three decades in. Thank God I’ve spent most … Continue reading →

    First, read this post. Turns out God isn’t getting five more minutes. He’s getting three years with the voice of Brent Musburger… as the voice of the Oakland (soon to be Vegas) Raiders. Yeah, seriously. I think I just became … Continue reading →

    Baseball’s All-Star game is now a week-long celebration, and this week that celebration came to my hometown (sort of), Washington, D.C. It was the first time our nation’s capital hosted the midsummer classic in 49 years. They’ll get another chance … Continue reading →

    I’ve been asked many times this year whether having the MLB All-Star game in my “hometown” makes it any cooler or more interesting compared to other years. Nope. I’m just gonna watch it on TV whether it’s 20 miles or … Continue reading →

    The week between the Fourth of July and July 11 should be known as Fourth of July Week. Every other holiday extends its reach beyond its borders (seriously, Hobby Lobby was putting out Christmas stuff last week), so why shouldn’t … Continue reading →

    Starbucks announced earlier this morning it is eliminating plastic straws from its locations, phasing out all said products by 2020. Straws? I’ve got news. If you’re drinking coffee out of a straw you’ve got bigger problems than any environmental damage … Continue reading →
