Haven’t tweeted in a while for all the obvious reasons. This deserves one.

The scene: Pizza night in MD with the grandkids.

Pop: “Louis, here’s a slice for you.”
Louis: “Pop, can I have some more cheese?”
Mom: “Louis, no extra cheese.”
Louis: “I’m talking to Pop.”

Once again, Notre Dame unrecognizable in filigreed away jerseys vs. BYU in Vegas. Glad they at least kept the gold helmets. Wondering which sponsoring casino sprang for the white(!) pants and forbade any trace of navy blue.

Procrastinating on Hurricane Dorian clean-up at a nice vineyard in VA. Hoping we don’t run across this student driver on the way back.

After watching a great UConn win over The Shockers, shock worthy is the visual of Syracuse in Hokie orange vs Virginia Tech in electric pink on the VT home court with maroon accents. #woetothecolorblind

Fighting Irish unrecognizable vs. ‘Cuse. Didn’t know they had sold out to Under Armor for trademark infringing midnight blue and pinstriped Yankee gear. But happy they are pitching a shutout.

Pop: Archer, Madeleine’s away on a sleep-over. You have the house to yourself. Is that a good or bad thing?
Archer: Both.
Pop: Oh, what’s so bad about it?
Archer: I love Maddie.
Pop: Well then, what’s so good?
Archer: She can be annoying.

Dogs and cats have successfully evolved and thrived on our planet for millennia. American pet owners have largely malfunctioned. https://t.co/hFAVr2DNUV

Monster late season series: Yanks v. Sox at Fenway. Cashman & Boone manage the rotation so efficiently that this mystery guy Chance only needs 5 hours to bus over from Wilkes-Barre on I-84.

Serious French pride.

[Martin P. O'Connor @oconnormartinp]

The French in party mode. Flares everywhere.

[Martin P. O'Connor @oconnormartinp]

🇫🇷 4-2. What was that Lloris??

[Martin P. O'Connor @oconnormartinp]

🇬🇱🇫🇷 4-1. Mbappe! It’s all over.

[Martin P. O'Connor @oconnormartinp]

🇫🇷 Pogba on his rebound. The French are feeling it.

[Martin P. O'Connor @oconnormartinp]

🇫🇷 2-1. The place goes wild.

[Martin P. O'Connor @oconnormartinp]

Ladies primed for the game.

Nothing like watching the World Cup with the French locals.

[Martin P. O'Connor @oconnormartinp]

This UConn fan watched back- to-back home OT wins vs. schedule cupcakes Columbia and Monmouth. Nice to know that they will be competitive if they go MAAC or Ivy when they give up on serious D-1 football. #longAACseasonahead

Watching PSU vs. Ohio State. Nike apparently missed the 1878 memo designating OSU's colors as scarlet and gray. Scarlet cleats: for Dorothy.

A careerYankee fan not happy at the moment. Any offense tonight?
