That sucks. The bong thread seems to be getting some legs -- so at least that might give you some laughs.

Yesterday, Kopech threw for 1st time since his surgery --woo-hoo--- still slated for a 2020 Spring Training, though. Go White Sox!

Who is playing in Crazy Horse -- is Sampedro still out and Nils in? Also I guess they are trying to webcast tonight's show - guess they ran into issues last night with the feed.

Did you tweet your sunburn to the president, thus confirming global warming? Now, I am picturing Van laying out by the pool in a speedo.

Of course we have been without power since 4 am. Will be hot wiring the furnace with a generator, soon.

Yeah -- someone should send the article to the president, at the very least it may help him spell warming...

Same here, luckily the university my wife works at is also closed - so we don't have to worry about a sitter and such.

I remember tetherball getting pretty tense - so much so that my grade school took it down. The pole just stood for couple of years, until they finally took it down and replaced it with another slide or swing.

I created a whole game using the above, but I used our wooden shed. We had boundaries that indicated singles, doubles, triples, and home runs. The 'batter' would throw it and the fielder would try to prevent it from getting past him. Either getting onto the back porch roof or getting the ball to the back fence was homer. I also remember wadding up pieces of bread and putting it in my mouth to pretend I had chewing tobacco while playing it... I do see kids bounce balls up at the school near my house from time to time. They have 4-square areas there, too - another great game of my youth.

Throughout the entire Netfix Fyre doc, I think there was about 2.25 seconds of footage where that guy was not drinking....

I kinda felt bad about not caring about anybody in this film - other than the people who worked on it and didn't get paid. I don't remember hearing about this fest. I watched the doc on Netflix, too - I guess the organizer is more involved in the Hulu version -- the last thing I want to see is an interview with that guy.

How was the show? Just finished watching the below - don't remember ever watching before - man, it's great. (Into the Mystic) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpPSBzGEklE&feature=youtu.be

My 7 year old daughter loves playing with those magnetic tiles.

Just finished up season one of Killing Eve -- pretty intense and fun at the same time.

Bingo!

1/15/79 is also being discussed over on the Hoffman board - someone posted Dick L's notes on the show. "Brain Frying" is an apt and great description. (Jesse Jarnow posted the notebook page in his twitter feed). I am sure I mentioned this before, but one of the highlights for me seeing the Grateful Dead exhibit when it was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was seeing the original pages of Dick's notes.

I remember being a show right after or around the time he ran into his former classmates at the restaurant and he brought it up while on the stage. At least I fairly certain he did, because when I read that part in the book, I thought 'hey, I remember when that happen'. For the life of me, I can't remember which show, though.

I know he can be a tool - but I am guessing he wouldn't. Now if Rich writes one, I would have to think about if he would or wouldn't.

Looks like there is a release date of Sept, 2019 for Gorman's book

That's pretty awesome. I got rid of XM a couple of years ago, but always enjoyed Earle's show -- he talked a lot about baseball on his show, too.

I like seeing him both ways, but my favorite time was a solo show at the Park West during his Townes tour. Joe Pug opened the show - it was great night of music. The way Earle handled an over-served table that was set up in front of the stage was an incredible sight. The whole show could have been derailed, but he was able to handle it well. I must admit, that night he could have held a master class for solo artists (like Tweedy) on how to handle unruly, drunk fans without making anyone feel uncomfortable.

I also have Already Dead: A California Gothic sitting my shelf, too - would you recommend Dead over Tree of Smoke? (I am only in 20 or so pages in the Tree book)

Just started:

I saw that clip last night on the Daily Show -- haven't watched that show in years, forgot how funny and on-point it could be....

The kid and I caught Spider-Man:Into the Spider-Verse this weekend - very entertaining.
