Did not expect to see a Seattle Dog on the #F1 sandwich special menu at the Marriott in Baku.

A sandwich special menu from the Baku Marriott featuring, surprisingly, a Seattle dog (hot dog with cream cheese and grilled onions, and, in this case, jalapeños)

Happy Gilmore 2 is a wonderful watch full of nostalgia and gags and a few touching sentimental moments sprinkled throughout. When so many movies now seem so "planned," it makes me miss those silly comedies of the 90s.

After almost 20 years, I'm ending this run at Microsoft as I look ahead to something new. Grateful for so much that made it great, but most of all: the people.

Every time you check in on the guy he’s doing something simply incredible. What a time to be watching baseball.

For a little while, no one could get the game scoring going on Gamechanger, and I got to have a little bit of happy time watching the kiddo play ball and keeping score.

The NCAA and ESPN have such a remarkable product in the College World Series regional => super regional => World Series for softball and baseball and there is not nearly the promotion that the events deserve… this is electric sports television all day and night.

Stanley Cup playoff sudden death overtime format is the most dramatic 10 seconds to 5 hours in professional sports. Never change it.

We experienced this yesterday. When blocked, it very politely stopped and beeped, and then graduated to a gentle siren prompting a confused “what’s going on oh it’s a robot wheelchair wanting me to get out of the way oh I should get out of it’s way oh isn’t that cool” reaction in 5 quick seconds.

RIP Rickey Henderson. Counting myself fortunate to see him throw out the first pitch at T-Mobile park to end the 2024 season, and the era of the Oakland A’s.

Rickey Henderson, in a combo Mariners Oakland A’s uniform throws out the first pitch at the last game of the regular 2024 MLB season, and the last game ever of the Oakland A’s.

The line of cars parked under the no parking signs gets a grumpy old man noise from me every trip to the airport. Very optimistic now that “City officials have now installed a temporary ‘No Standing to Watch the No Parking Signs’ sign”

having been brought up on a steady diet of mid to late 80s Cardinals baseball, I will always appreciate small ball. I was not surprised to see the 2024 Mariners featured, with Raley's speed he is so fun to watch at the plate.
