Seeing Tiger Woods in contention at The Masters is like having Christmas in… oh my God wait a minute Christmas is right around the corner!
Things were different when I was a kid.
Have I now reached the age at which I can begin remarks with “when I was a kid…”?
And sometimes I get confused about which holidays of my youth really are still holidays.
Veterans Day? Columbus Day?
Remember when people still called it Washington’s Birthday?
I guess these days I’d take an actual celebration of pretty much any holiday, no?
I think it happened.
Not only have I discovered perpetual fall, I may have brought about, perhaps, the greatest weekend of all time.
You’re welcome.
Seventy degrees in the forecast today. Sun. Leaves falling gently to the ground. Cool evenings. Good sleeping weather.
Sweater weather.
Is there a way we can travel the world and experience perpetual fall, like an autumnal version of The Endless Summer?
Just let it be fall forever.
I first heard this joke in 2000. It’s worth repeating now.
Let’s hope to God today is not the day aliens come to Planet Earth.
Imagine an alien popping out of his spaceship. Naturally he says “Take me to your leader.”
Hmmm…
People win the lottery every day.
Something like 1,000 people a year are struck by lightning.
Remember when the Chicago Cubs won the World Series?
Things to keep in mind as we approach this Election Day.
Anything can happen.
My sources tell me that McDonald’s this week has added new items to its breakfast bakery menu, its first additions in nearly a decade.
Blueberry muffin, apple fritter, and cinnamon roll.
Wow.
Took ’em 10 years to come up with that one.
Great job, guys.
You ever think about serving the french fries and hamburgers together as a meal? Maybe throw a soda in there too?
That would be something.
I’m not sure whether you heard it here first but you definitely heard it here on October 7. And last night the Los Angeles Dodgers completed the L.A. championship double, a Lakers-Dodgers combo not seen since, well, the last time the Dodgers won the World Series in 1988. That year we had to wait a whole summer for the baseball season to play out. This year those same teams won their championships less than three weeks apart.
My God let’s hope that never happens again.
That play.
Good God, that play. Saturday night (actually early Sunday morning), bottom of the ninth inning, Game Four of the World Series.
What was that?
In a word? It was amazing.
I made my son watch it 15 times when he got up the next morning.
It was like Carlton Fisk, except the blooper reel version.
I wrote the following in my journal… note to self: hit up that final play on youtube whenever you look at this.
That about sums it up.
Can’t. Wait. For. Game. Six.
Weird with no baseball last night, right?
I kinda liked the no-days-off schedule from the LCS that all-games-played-in-a-single-ballpark permitted. I wish MLB had continued it for the World Series.
And, of course, I hope they never have to actually do it again.
