My childhood best friend called me out of the blue this evening, and we caught up for an hour. First time we’ve spoken since COVID Quarantine Zooms. It was really uplifting. Moral of the story, contact someone you like who you haven’t talked to and make them smile!!

I miss when ESPN College GameDay didn’t suck. I used to say that about SportCenter, post-Kenny Mayne, Keith and Dan, Stuart Scott, but I would always tune in for Baseball Tonight and College Gameday. Now, I only use ESPN for live sports when I can’t get them from some other channel.

50 years ago next month on 9/13/1976, #Braves catcher Dale Murphy made his MLB debut, going 2-for-4 with 2 RBI singles. FUN FACT: Another call-up playing in his first game of September (24th MLB game overall)? Speedy Dodgers prospect Joe Simpson, who entered in the 9th as a defensive replacement.

On this, my 30th time through preschool training videos, I have learned and internalized the meaning of the word “somatic” … used in this training to refer to stomach pains or nausea. They also recommend something I’d never heard of (a hoberman sphere) far too much, IMHO.

I just discovered the Merriam-Webster Time Traveler and supposedly the words that were invented during the year of your birth give an insight into who you are www.merriam-webster.com/time-traveler/ I don’t disagree so far …

If you like #ThePitt, make sure to check out Season 4 Episode 15 of #ER “The Exodus.” This is the moment when Dr. Carter get his chops and proves he can hold down an ER as Dr. Robbie. (We’re doing a casual #rewatch, and this was one I remembered from way back when)

New! Just in time to avoid the worst of the heatwave by cooking inside, a recipe for hot dogs exactly the way I like them: butterflied and topped with vinegared iceberg (lightly pickled and so perfect here), minced onion, salty crumbled potato chips. smittenkitchen.com/2026/07/hot-...

The ‘dog days’ of summer get their name due to their association with the Dog Star, Sirius, found in the constellation Canis Major. The first visible rising of Sirius occurs during the hot stretch from early July to early September. Woof.

Friends: we are in for a very hot stretch of weather the next seven days. Heat indicies (temp + humidity) later this week will approach 110°. July 4th will see actual highs around 100°. Please make sure cooling implements are working and/or that you have a way to keep cool in the days ahead.
