No DMs. I'm from the Central time zone. I like liking things. People are inherently good. I do theatre and film sometimes. I'm getting greyer and rounder, but that's okay.

I only got to see them live once: Chicago, 2000. He had an extended bass solo during "Magic Bus" that melted my face.

Day 10 in Japan. It struck me that kids still walk home from school. Meanwhile, my old high school got shut down this week because kids brought guns.

I'm fucking amazed that we're experiencing racial cleansing in America and there are people who still blame it on Hillary Clinton. Un-fucking-believable.

Dale Sveum, April 19, 1987. Easter Sunday. Brewers win their 12th in a row on my 12th birthday and I was at County Stadium.

A kind journalist was nice enough to look this up for me, unbidden. I remember this front page. Reading it with my Mom. 1987. Bless you, baseball.

I was 12 that season. As a matter of fact, I had my 12th birthday at County Stadium. It was Easter Sunday, so I couldn't have a birthday party with kids, so Mom took me to the ballpark. Where they won their 12th in a row on my 12th. We left Milwaukee in '88, but I've been forever Brewers since.

I wrote a little dribble on FB about Seven Gratitudes I have. I'll just post the last couple here: 6. I'm grateful for a world that had Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, although I wish they could have done a duet together. Can you imagine? 7. I'm grateful to have friends that, yes, CAN imagine that!

As an Okie, Cry Cry Cry still has one of the few songs about the OKC Bombing that I know. (April 19, 1995 was my 20th birthday, and I was 20 miles away from it.)

I've struggled with depression ever since I was a kid. So I just wanted to share a revolutionary thought: I like me.

My nephew is trans. He's 22. He never played sports. Here in Oklahoma, his elected representatives don't mind making his existence as a human being debatable if it curries favor with the electorate. I think the OK GOP has changed in the last 20 years. It's not about liberty anymore.

I know that baseball is a weird game. The Dodgers' num. 7 hitter makes more than the GDP of some nations. But if the #Brewers can be relevant for this much of my lifetime, don't you dare tell me I'm stupid to hope. My 12yo. self has been right about a lot of things. And I'm 51.

It's obviously not the tragedy of the situation, but it also sucks that they're disparaging the name of Abraham Lincoln. Sorry, sailors: ending slavery was the original wokeness and you're collateral damage.
