    You know the old expression about it’s not being whether you won or lost but how you played the game? This morning for me it’s not who won or lost any election but… now there’s no more stupid political ads. … Continue reading →

    World Series wrap-up

    Reply

    Nobody’s denying this year’s World Series was one of the greatest of all time. Close games, extra inning games, back-and-forth games, heroic performances, and one surprise after another. I’m happy to say I was at least 60-40 pleased with the … Continue reading →

    Today on Math and Musings Franklin and I celebrate Halloween with candy and trivia, two of our favorite things. Recorded back on Diwali, this one’s got day off written all over it. Enjoy. … Continue reading →

    Sometimes you hate to be right

    “Prescient” is how one might describe Monday’s post, as I lamented the choice between football and baseball… and sleep. Little did I know how right I would be, 18 innings and nearly seven hours later. I never even switched to … Continue reading →

    Commanders competing with baseball… and sleep

    I’ve now reached the age and degree of lameness where one sees his team playing on Monday Night Football and thinks… ugh, so late on a school night! I’m that guy now. … Continue reading →

    No Carson, just pizza

    Yesterday we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of my idols… Johnny Carson. This is one of the many topics that Franklin and I do not discuss on this week’s episode of Math and Musings. We do, however, discuss … Continue reading →

    I’m good with this World Series matchup

    Posted on October 22, 2025 by moc
    Reply

    At the beginning of this year’s American League Championship Series I found myself pulling for the Seattle Mariners. After all, they’d never been to the World Series, a drought since their inception in 1977. But on the Toronto Blue Jays … Continue reading →

    Even more painful

    I’ve got a brand-new giant television in my living room, approximately the size of a Pontiac. It’s twice as big my old TV, and it makes watching content somehow more than twice as enjoyable. It also makes watching my hometown NFL … Continue reading →

    Today’s episode of Math and Musings was recorded on Yom Kippur. (That was October 2 for those of you in the goyim.) Franklin and I bring out the Blooket with some Yiddish expressions; hilarity ensues. You’re welcome. … Continue reading →

    West coast blues

    Reply

    I wouldn’t mind seeing a Dodgers-Mariners World Series, though I’m a bit concerned about the timing of it all. I can barely stay up for the end of games on the east coast, let alone any that would start out … Continue reading →
