My wife and I played golf yesterday with my dad, a Vietnam vet and my first golf instructor, on a USAF base course in Athens, Greece when I was a boy. We had not seen Dad in person since 2019. As he nears 90 years old, it is a great privilege to be able to play golf together.

@stevesi Does Seattle have more MSFT and AMZN employees than Bellevue and Redmond? Maybe the data centers will end up on the Eastside. Of course, the Westin Data Hub isn’t in Bellevue…

@wingoz I’m all in on the Randy Moss comp. Not quite sure Drake Maye is 2007 Brady though… but no one else in NFL history has been…

@Feddersticks @terrinakamura I think all sailboat enthusiasts like to keep the motor presence in the back of their minds. But I’ve been stuck in the doldrums a few times, most significantly in Long Island Sound, where the motor is the difference between getting home or calling the tow boat. 😅😅😅

[Franklin Fite, Jr. @FrankFite]

@Feddersticks @terrinakamura All big sailboats have motors. They just hope to not use them. 😅

@maggieerogers They killed me for decades before 2004. Doesn’t stop them from continuing to kill me now. 😅

@erecasner You and everyone else in King County. And Washington overall!

Looking forward to the new team.

@stevemur He’s great, even for Americans ;).

As a lifelong Red Sox fan for 60 years, I’m never going to get used to this. But as Vandy alum, I totally approve. 😅

Always remembered. Benjamin Franklin “Frank” Fite, my gr-gr-grandfather and namesake, killed at the Battle of Missionary Ridge, 11/25/1863, fighting for Ohio and The Union.

@Jared_Carrabis @alannarizzo Maybe the Sox hitters could start following her lead?

@NationGolfing My favorite golf picture. I’m from the area so I’ve played Chambers several times, but it’s still special every round.

@AncientLoggie My Mom and Dad met at Morgantown High School. My grandpa was the AAD there for 40 years (and interim AD part of that time). He helped recruit Jerry West. So let’s go Mountaineers!

@SSN_685 Great list. But, Braveheart, Apocalypse Now, Lawrence of Arabia, etc. It’s an impossible list to make.

@zillowgonewild Want to go halvies???

[Franklin Fite, Jr. @FrankFite]

@AncientLoggie Sorry for the typos.

[Franklin Fite, Jr. @FrankFite]

@AncientLoggie You’re the only WVU and Sox/Pats vs an I follow (other than me 😅). You know Massholes.
