That is a blast from the past! Loved that show.

Huge fan of lighter weight and more reps as I get older. Strict form helps too.

Not surprised by this, but it is really sad.

Unfortunately, yeah I think we have. It’s funny, when I first moved here I was shocked at how considerate people were of each other in most cases. Then realized it was b/c of the close proximity. People tended to respect others, b/c we had no choice but to interact or impact each other. But it seems like the last few years, people just can’t keep their cell phone sounds to themselves. Or worse, they know they can, but don’t think it’s necessary to do so. That’s insane for me to consider.

I would like to second this and add the following: People who watch tablets/phones on the subway without headphones. And your last comment is perfect: “Have some self awareness and respect for those who are enjoying their meals (or commute) and don’t want to hear your anime or YouTube video.” I’m usually reading a book on the subway, but that can be hard to do when the a$&hole next to you is playing Candy Crush with the volume on high or watching a show with a loud laugh track. I end up having to pull out my Airpods to put them in just to somewhat block their sounds.

I found out about GECs from that website (damn you!), but I only bought one of these from a website. The other two are from Ebay.

Same! I’ll work out and lift like a beast so I can keep enjoying cocktail hour and an evening hit or three of the demon weed.

Lord help me, I’ve become obsessed with Great Eastern Cutlery traditional folders. These are such a bitch to find for decent prices, but they are so nice. Made right here in the US of A in Titusville, PA. I’m not sure there’s a more satisfying combo of high quality wood and steel for me. Something about having one of these in your pocket is so satisfying. I think I’m going to need to set some personal limits on buying these. Already have two more coming in the mail. End of year bonus allowed me to be a bit squirrely in my holiday spending.

And nostrils. When did that start? I have to be vigilant against both ears and nose. Although I do have a shocking amount of hair on my head still. Like Robert Plant Led Zeppelin in the late 60s amount according to one of my wife’s friends.

Have had some struggles with acid reflux, especially when lying flat and trying to sleep. Took the Pepcid daily started with 10mg and then graduated to 20mg. The huge thing that helped me was cutting my alcohol intake down, especially beer. I don’t even take Pepcid anymore.

Have been in a Western mood and realized I never watched Deadwood. Just finished the second episode of season one.

My $13 starting five: Henderson ($4) Cheney ($5) Jeffries ($2) Edwards ($1) Coverdale ($1)

Damn, he meant soccer to me as a Midwestern kid before soccer was even a thing in the US. True legend.

Love a Tortie.

Merry Christmas to all my Hoosier pals!! Hope everyone has an amazing holiday with family and friends!

Love seeing Bates continue to develop. His shot just looks so good. Malik seems to have regressed a bit though unfortunately. Is it that he’s feeling pressure with TJD not being 100% or just the level of competition heating up. If it’s the latter, he better get prepared for the conference schedule.

Ha, that’s also a big trend in bike parts/tools and knife blades/handles. Everyone is gaga for the anodized metals. I think they are neat, but would probably get old. They call that look “oil slick” on metal bike parts. Though I think some of them are just coated with coloring on the cheaper parts.

I say, I like her moxie and confidence. But no spankings for me please.

Man, the art on coins is intense when you pay attention to it. I stumbled across this dude on Etsy when I was looking at wood to make knife handles. I think this is cool as hell, but I can see how others would think it blasphemy to modify the coins. https://www.etsy.com/shop/SethBasistaCarvings?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=228356237

Interesting. Maybe X can come back for another year to torment @Coach Shep 🤣

Ha, Adams is a worthless piece of trash who breaks promises all day and parties all night at restaurants owned by criminals. No one who lives in NYC takes him seriously about COVID or anything else.

Yeah, the microplastics are not great either. We have some of the best tap water in the US here in NYC - it comes from the Adirondacks and Catskills. So, we normally just drink chilled tap water from a glass. I have an aluminum bottle that I use at work. Also, I try not to read too much about the aquafier situation out West anymore. I read a long form article a few years ago that damn near traumatized me just thinking about it. The West has got to figure that stuff out and soon.

Was able to watch the game last night and I enjoyed watching the bench get so much playing time. Gunn and Duncomb were both pleasant surprises and I’m really intrigued by Banks. He looks kind of awkward on the court a lot of times, but then he just zips one direction and then the ball is in the hoop somehow. Bates’ shot is really starting to look silky as well.

This is me as well. I hate logos on my clothing. My wife always says, “Oh, all primary colors again today.” Usually olive drab, navy blue, or grey. I also cover up the logos on my camera, backpack, etc. I don’t want my Sony camera screaming Sony from four different logos. For my non-Apple watch watch, I ordered the version with no logo.

Am still excited for the season and think we have a good shot at finishing in top 4-5 of the B1G and win a couple games in the tournament. We got smoked by two incredible teams and wilted at Rutgers. We went 2-2 in the four non conf games I had circled and the young players need time to gel. If we are being honest, I drank the kool aid earlier in the season thinking we were going to waltz through the B1G and end up int he Final Four. We were “that good.” Well, we weren’t and we aren’t. I do want to see us in the hunt of the B1G title race. I don’t think we will be in the driver’s seat, but we should be in the conversation.
