Trump still upset he doesn't own an NFL team?

You can support an AL team and a NL team--I do. The fun is when they play each other in the World Series (which hasn't happened with the Phillies and A's).

We already know impeachment means nothing, as Trump already has been impeached twice. We want impeachment and removal.

So my local cable company no longer has sports packages. I have to figure out how I'm going to be able to watch out of market baseball games, because I'm considered in the Pirates market.

I learned Spanish in school. But I learned Castilian (like that's useful in the western hemisphere, unless you're reading colonial documents). It made as much sense as my maternal grandparents speaking Pennsylvania Dutch, but it definitely was a powerful performance.

I teach one course asynchronous online because it's a required course for a program taught at 3 campuses and (a) I haven't figured out how to clone myself to teach at 3 places simultaneously, and (b) it can't be offered at the same time any course in that program is taught.

I still felt the same way after I became a full professor. Then my dissertation advisor came to visit, saw my faculty office, and demanded a larger office because he didn't think it was right one of his former students had a larger office than he did.

Lasted 15 years. Would have lasted longer, but it was too uncomfortable driving it in Houston with vinyl seats and no AC.

1981: Datsun 210 basic model (standard, 2-door, vinyl seats, no AC or radio): $4800. Great car for grad student, until she moved back to Houston and realized sticking to the vinyl seats >9 months of the year wasn't fun.

On Alan Alda's 90th birthday, I have to watch "Sweet Liberty." Best film about the American Revolution, especially the way it exposes how Hollywood misrepresents history. However, I do not recommend reenacting the roller coaster scene.
