She dropped a set in the first round but won more easily today, 6-1 and 6-4. Oh, and BTW, Andy Murray is just as whiney and unlikable as ever. .

And…….finally she’s up next! You just never know how long things will take to unfold in the matches before you. I was looking into just touring the grounds when I go for the Bills game in October. It appears that is allowed but you need to book a reservation in advance thru the museum, and probably pay something? Anybody know anything about this?

As much as I love the energy of the US Open, Wimbledon is the Top Dog for me!

My sons, when in high school, would say there is no greater compliment. RIP

My brother in law is a VERY bright guy, in some ways. His grown daughters like to share his IQ with you if you let them. I’m not impressed because he is absolutely lost in groups or with any kind of interactions with others. They brag about his IQ, but I’m not sure it outweighs his glaring weaknesses. Super nice guy, and if you need someone to check your numbers, he’s your guy. But if you want to shout about your strengths, it’s only fair to paint the whole picture.

You may be looking at the wrong thing. Just sayin’. 🤷♂️

Detroit pizza I have at least actually heard of! I had no idea CT had “a thing” with pizza. Looks delicious though! I took my mom to a place that bragged about the Chicago deep dish pizza. When we got there we learned it was 45 minutes to an hour to actually get one prepared for you. We had the regular stuff. I used to be able to get deep dish by the slice in FL, and it was amazing! The guy sold the place to someone who ran it into the ground. Very sad!

OK, I’m back to wings here, and this may be a game changer. Andrew Zimern (Bizarre Foods/Destinations) was in Bali, and they have some tasty egg roll looking thing they want to keep crispy. When you get it to go they pop up a little vent on the top so they don’t steam and get soggy. Does anyone do this for wings?

Let us just say, there are better ways to start a relationship.

I don’t know why, but this made me think of my banking days years ago when people would ask “Which set of books do you want to see?” 😂

Oh no! Is there going to be more math? 😱 I think I’ve had enough math already.

I’ve watched a bit for years. Not for the cycling so much as the travel aspect. It can be absolutely beautiful! I used to like Paul Sherwen’s stories about the little towns and regions they passed thru. RIP .

How long does it take an NFL head coach to reach his 1st Super Bowl?
Augie replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
I believe I read Tom Landry was 11 years. Every coach and situation are different. Period. Bill Callahan made the Super Bowl with the Raiders. With his .409 winning percentage in the NFL. Making/winning a SB is not the ONLY measure of success, even if it is the ultimate goal. -
If I were to argue his point there, it could come off as sounding snooty or delusional. I’m not sure if he can sniff snooty, but it might sound almost like “I have $5.3 million in Disney stock alone”. ….so there’s that. 🤷♂️ .

I had Irma the lunch lady in HS who some people here remember. I probably had teachers, too. EDIT: I was kidding. I have had people here from my HS who remember Irma. They did not seem to know the same teachers. I was fortunate enough to have many great teachers from those days. .

Do you mean Euripides or Pericles? They both had a great sense of humor and made some killer wings! (The Anchor Bar wasn’t really first, but not many people know that.)

It’s actually one of the first movies I remember seeing. I think it was at that little theater in Hamburg the same year as Yellow Submarine with the Beatles. Alan Arkin never failed to make a good impression with his work, taking on some quirky roles. Very talented man. RIP. EDIT: Yellow Submarine movie was a couple years later. Alan Arkin was in the first movie I remember seeing at a theater. .

PROGRAMING ALERT: ESPN2 is showing archived footage from Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest! Currently showing 2018. With that kind of programing gold, they will probably need to hire these people back pronto!

Depends on the time zone, and a few other things, I’m guessing.
