My dad used to refer to the music I listened to as “narcotic music”. I was like 10 and the band was Love and Rockets. Oh how we bonded.

Next stop Chicago.

Yeah, I missed the thing where teams get an automatic runner on 2nd in extra innings. Not into it. You don’t mess with free baseball.

Tuned into my first Cubs game of the season now in prep for my trip to Chicago. Don’t recognize most players but Cubs pitcher is wearing glasses and that’s about all I need to get all fired up.

I’m not bothered it took 37 years to find out what happened to Boba Fett in the Sarlacc pit. Really, I’m super good at waiting.

My daughter (11 yrs old, wearing a Hole t-shirt): “Dad, did you know there’s a Kurt Cobain song called ‘Beans’?

Mechanical inconsistencies? Getting robbed? This is the worst of Pete Weber. Strangely comforting. https://t.co/bMvai5u3g2

My greatest Mathlete-era fantasy came true today with news headline “Civilians in Space”. Should call up Dan.

Euro Cup “2020” time-warping me; a lot of great matches thus far. Seeing a clear move away from diving for penalties and a return to true play. Tons of real emotion. Seeing a sport take the mask off and breath. Pretty unreal.

Time stamp it. Called it.
