mydialect.us/quiz-standar... I've spent most of my life in Arizona and California – so I guess the quiz decided to split the difference and put my dialect in Nevada.

My kid started seventh grade today. I'm preparation, yesterday they decorated their backpack.

Just saw this, referring to Friedman. SETTING UP A SUCCESSFUL PLAYER DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM TAKES SKILL! COMMITMENT! NOBODY STUMBLES INTO A TOP FARM SYSTEM! To act like anyone can *make* prospects with money – despite drafting at the bottom of the first round – is swallowing cheap-owner defeatism!

Of course, for grumpiness, no one will ever beat the duo of Rick Monday and Kevin Kennedy. Here's a photo of them in the booth:

Check this from last night. When is asked for enlightenment on the similarities between Platner and Steyer, they kinda flipped out on me before I got blocked.

Having a very Los Angeles moment: at Guisado's, waiting for my breakfast burrito, while The Smiths ("Sheila Take a Bow") play.

Always sucks when you have to send a favorite item of clothing off to Valhalla. This Banana Republic button-down I've had for a while - lightweight and breathes yet is opaque for a white fabric, and it made my forearms pop when I rolled up the sleeves. Collar is frayed to hell, so out it goes...

I want to go back in time and tell Jello how good he had it with Jerry Brown.

Taking Obama's words to heart about being the change we're looking for, today I cleaned up my resume, even putting on it a QR code for my portfolio site, then went around to places that might need writing help this coming election cycle. Started with the local office of the League of Women Voters.

Not what the Pasadena tourism people want to see for New Year’s Day. Also, bettors of Alabama-Indiana, wager accordingly.

Forecast for Jan. 1 in Pasadena, Calif. calling for 1.23 inches of rain.
