I don't know how Justin Verlander walked off the field under his own power. I'd have had to be carted off.

As fun as it is to watch someone like Kilian or Courtney or Jim go on a dominant stretch, this era of trail running where there's a new hero every few weeks is equally fun. It's like, oh, here's a whole new interesting person I get to find out about. #wser

My favorite new genre of social media post is from people who went to the WHCD and are trying to balance condemning violence with letting everyone know they were invited and showing everyone how good they looked dressed up.

One surreal aspect of the whole situation in the US that may be lost on my Canadian friends is how strange it is that it's happening in Minnesota. The place is synonymous with homey tranquility. It's like if Orillia or Bobcaygeon turned into a tinderbox.

It's weird that the Cubs reliever I trust the most always looks like a sore middle-aged coach throwing batting practice to little leaguers.

After eight years in Canada, I've finally switched my Garmin over to metric. And even though I know they're the same, I feel faster running 6-minute kilometres than 10-minute miles.
