We have a stadium in town where they have a summer league team for college kids. It's maybe 2 miles from my house. It runs for about 2.5 months during the summer. We went to a game this past weekend. The players are very into the games, which is nice to see. We sat directly behind the visiting team's dugout and could hear pretty much all of their chatter. They were down 1 in the top of the 9th and every single player was up on the top step chirping constantly. I can't remember the last time I saw that. It's a fun time. The game is obviously a lower quality, but the energy level and the rock bottom prices make up for that. We'll try to go a couple more times this summer.

A professional sports championship that was won in Las Vegas. I wonder how many players still haven't seen the light of day since they won.

I have an ACE and a Home Depot very close to my house. The ACE is a bit on the small side though. That limited shelf space really hurts them in terms of what they can carry. If not for that, I'd probably go there more often.

At this point they need to just wash their hands of anyone who hasn't shown back up at this point. It seems pretty clear to me that they want to move forward with the new group and make it the Morgan show. I think I'm good with making it a buddy zombie drama with him and John. Troy is definitely dead though. Madison killed him.

I wonder how many episodes Alicia and Strand will survive through. This new cast is interesting, so much so that I kind of wish they had just killed everyone off in the damn explosion. Now that would have been ballsy. So did Al say that she met up with Madison in Nebraska or was that where she picked up the food she wound up giving to her?

Thats pretty much a once a year story. I wouldn’t call it political though.

The rest of the additions in that season left me scratching my head. Maybe they plan to expand on them in the future, but the stuff with the girl and her step-brother really never went anywhere.

To me, the whole thing would be like walking into an italian restaurant and then they try to sell you a bike. There's nothing wrong with bikes, but you're there for dinner.

Just because someone has the right to express their beliefs, it isn't required that anyone has to listen to it. At the same time, not listening to someone does not mean that you're saying they have no right to say it.

Some political talk from the NHL? The only thing I can think of that comes even remotely close to that is talk over the value of the canadian dollar.

I can’t only think of maybe 4 or 5 movies 8’vr seen with Woody, but I don’t remember ever thinking he felt out of place in any of them. I have to wonder if people would question his casting in a movie if he didn’t have the same first name as his character in Cheers. As as for Solo, I thought he was a great fit for the character he played. It seems like the exact role I would expect for him based on his recent roles.

Wasn’t Oceans 11 already a remake? So we now have a gender swapped remake of a remake.

Please tell me he keeps a dinosaur in a pit and forces it to put on lotion.

I've completely cut out alcohol for about 2 months now and have tried to limit the processed stuff. I should probably step on a scale at some point to see how that's going. The only problem is that a lingering shoulder/neck issue has limited my productivity at the gym. This break from alcohol thing is about to die a horrible death though. I'll be spending a week with the in-laws later this month.

I finally got around to watching Stranger Things over the last two weeks. That was an addictive two seasons. They made some odd choices here and there, but still, very entertaining.

The ads they are running for the Daily Show right now are brutal. His delivery is so annoying that it makes it pretty tough to get through my weekend viewing of Meet the Fockers... or was it Horrible Bosses? I forget which random movie I was watching on which station.

Did anyone want to work with Sheen when he first started on that show? It's been a while so I might be off on this, but I feel like he was already reduced to random tv appearances at that point anyway. So his lunacy at the end just returned him to where he already was.

Yeah but it’s been about 20 years now since they did everything on site. It’s not technically the same place/business that it was originally.

It's been ages since I've seen an episode of the original run of the show. Was the older daughter always such a horrible actress (other than brief time when she was replaced)?

We had a bus driver who would take us there on the last day of the school year. There was nothing more horrible than waiting for the bus on the first day of school only to find out that she had been switched to a different route.

I miss Charlap's.

The place was insanely busy the couple times I was there. I have no idea how they grow from ice cream to that.

I'd have to imagine there are plenty out there who have no social media presence at all. I'm not on twitter, so I have no idea who they would be, but they have to be out there.

I still want to know why celebrities even bother with twitter. One wrong comment destroys everything. Sometimes it's deserved (here), other times it's not. They have to walk a tight rope that's thinner than dental floss on there. It's not worth it.
