Iowa has 27 points…in the first half. Never thought I’d see that happen

When I was a kid, schools would do tours of Philip Morris. It was fun!

TBF, I wear a polo a lot of the time. I just prefer LL Bean shorts and don’t use dip.

Not my crush, but she was in a lot of folks’ top 3

Stealing from TW: “the dip is in their back pocket, but they don’t want you to see it”. I will say former NFL OL genius Aaron Kromer lives down there, and I’d buy drinks just to hear stories.

Seconded on San Blas. Love that place. St. Joe seems crowded, but not fancy, which I’m good with.

I’d say it’s “current appointees to the FBI” want to do this. Which is why the administration needs to go.

Butkus and Bubba Smith were in the tv version, iirc. Only guy in the film version I remember was Roy Scheider

I could do two plates. I’d probably skip turkey. I was down on ham for a long time but I’ve come back around. Still not as good as bacon or sausage for pork delivery, but it can be good.

Ribs, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, roasted vegetables….hell yeah

Good Christmas market…Quebec City

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 20h

Yup. Too hard to get anywhere from there, so you stay put. Same with me in RVA. Mom lived out in the burbs, and anything interesting to me was a 10 mile drive or more. Between that and not wanting to drink and drive…I stayed in.

If she’s in the Baltimore area, it sounds doable. I don’t know if she’d expect you to come visit. But taking some “you” time is something I’d hope she’d understand

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 20h

Now as WHERE to go…man I don’t know. If I wanted warmth and sun…Miami or the Bahamas might be choice. For a Europe feel without leaving North America, Montreal or Quebec City could be great. Could you see your mom Christmas Day and then take 3 days for yourself?

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 20h

Before I was married and after my dad had died, I went and saw my mom for about 5 days. Note that I lived 650 plus miles away. I don’t regret it, but I was kinda bored by the end of the trip. Considering what you’ve been thru the last two plus years….some “you” time by yourself might be in order.

It’s a minority opinion, but from 78 or 79 until 83, I think they were the best metal band in the world. That band has had more turmoil than folks think, but his name never came up, iirc. Hope he enjoys retirement.

To Be Fair, Jerry had a 25 year head start on Dak. Dak’s made a lot of money, and everyone likes him, more or less. He’s done well.

This is more like “I bought the airline ticket, but this plane makes Russia’s Aeroflot look safe, so I’m just not going”

San Diego really is that way though.

smashing pumpkins, Styx, Cheap Trick…it’s not a bad start

Strong possibility. That and folks thinking a college degree doesn’t mean much

Marching band coming in with Dad Rock. “Well… turn it up”

Local QB passes the “does he have an acceptable QB name?” test. Jack Myers sounds like he can win some ball games (they have one loss on the season, iirc)

HS football concessions in 2026 are FAR better than Bama concessions in 2006

At a HS football game. Local boys have the “Pat the Patriot” logo on the helmet. Only acceptable Patriots logo

Labatt’s is more of a Sabres thing, I thought

I know he’s ticked a few folks off, but “The Bad Guys Won” about the 86 Mets is my favorite baseball book.

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

My kid started reading her first WW2 book this week. It’s a fictional piece about a kid in London who goes to live in the country during the Blitz. I explained what her great grandparents did during the war and said if she had any questions to come to me. History Dad is now in his environment

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The Elie Wiesel book? Yeah that’s pretty neat when a child expresses interest in something, and the parent goes straight to the bookshelf, gets the material, and the kid is amazed. I’ve had similar this year with stuff on history and science with the kid.

Now my kid is reading to me as part of second grade assignments. All the reading we did from 6 months on paid off.

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Didn’t he go to LOL school at one of those places?

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

My wife and I read to our kid every night starting when she was like six months old. 2nd grader but reading at 5th grade level. Reading to her was/is one of the best investments I ever made.

Well, now I feel the need to watch highlights of Cody’s Wish. I have something in my eye.

STRONG second on fall in Lexington. It’s great.

Oaks I’d be willing to try. But Breeder’s Cup at Keeneland is what’s on my agenda as next race goes. I could be persuaded to go to Belmont Stakes as well.

000

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I used to want to go to the Derby….and I’d still go. But 150,000 people is a way bit much. I still like going to Churchill Downs….but Keeneland’s vibe is just better.

Resident Bills Homer @bonescrosby.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I can believe it. I think there were 50,000 people there the day I went. A good crowd, but not overwhelming. The only really long line I stood in was for ice cream for my daughter.

I went opening day in 2022. Sakerlina was in town. One of my favorite sporting events I’ve ever been to. I thought it had already started, but wasn’t sure.

Oh hell, it’s Opening Day week, isn’t it?
