I’m in no way ashamed to admit I could probably name just one current Major League Baseball player.

I fully expect Trump will again try to overthrow the election results in November.

Pro football is not going my way this year. Caleb gets hurt so the Bears' prospects have declined. I want to see the Steelers win, but I so much want to see Aaron Rodgers lose.

I think a four mile run through the woods today earns me a beer. Even with my two-beers-per-week limit, I think my Rev inventory is going to disappear quickly. #bskybeer

Was moving some stuff around in my home office and thought I'd share one of my favorite collectibles. Near-mint ticket stub for first Bulls game at the United Center. Floor seat (no longer exists) a couple of seats off center court. Continental Bank's old season tickets. #chicagobulls #collectibles

Our DVR crapped out and Spectrum sent a replacement. It's used and beat to hell. Completely done with them. Any recommendations for service providers? I'm limited to internet only options at this point. #spectrum #streaming

I see another Narnia movie is coming soon. When I read the Chronicles of Narnia as a very young Catholic child, I was enthralled. When I read them again as a non-Christian adult, I was more like "Holy shit. What the fuck?" I never let my kids near those books.

Hotel room beer. After spending a good part of the day getting drenched on the golf course, I figure I deserve a beer. Might have two. #bskybeer

The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is down to 67% of what it was before the Iran war started. It’s about 44% of what it was before the Russia/Ukraine war started. Brent crude is at $107.

If you control the presidency, the house, the senate, and the judiciary, why do you have to wait until after the election to end the war?

My one beer this week is a 2026 Egregious Philbin. Starting to think the brandy vanilla variant I had last month was a bad bottle. That was awful. This, at room temperature, is delicious. #bskybeer

Disappointing. Thin. Bitter aftertaste that doesn’t fade. Not picking up bourbon, but sure getting the oak. Not sure I’d call it an imperial. Haven’t seen a brewery decline like Founders in a long time. #bskybeer

2021 Buckley Reserve from Transient. This is one of my favorite all-time stouts. There was something extra creamy about it that year. I bought one of the last three cases last week so I’m going to try to be patient and save some. #bskybeer

IMPORTANT NOTICE! Danger Mouse is available on Netflix. For Americans, they’re the originals where some of the bad guys have the bad Italian accents, not the dubbed bad Cockney accents we had in the US back in the day.

@apnews.com Why is Laura Loomer the lead story? Why are you even talking to her at all? Acknowledging the bat-shit crazy conspiracy theorist (which you note she is (minus the bat shit part)) and giving her a voice gives her a small level of legitimacy. This is tabloid garbage.

Not sure if the resolution will be good enough. Sitting on the deck yesterday evening drinking a Surly Axe Man and four deer slide through. And yeah, I know my legs could use some sun. #bskybeer

Finished yard work early and I have six hours to drink a big one. 2026 Brandy Vanilla Dark Lord. Disappointing. I had to put it in an insulated cup with a top as a soy odor was overpowering with an open cup. Vanilla isn’t there. #bskybeer

I grew up in Chicago where accents used to change every few miles. I've been to NY where the accents change every mile or so. I've been to London where accents seem to change block to block. Are there are any other places like this in the world that you know? I'm just curious.

I went through the definition of liberalism and crossed off the things the current administration seems to dislike. No wonder they hate liberals. It's pretty much the whole thing.

Bought a case of Buck Res 2 when I passed through Bridgman on my way to Dark Lord Day this year. This is my second-to-last bottle. Room temperature. One of my top five beers of all time. #bskybeer

Please don't ask me for money. I have two kids in college and one IS GOING TO FUCKING ANTARCTICA! You have NO idea how pumped I am that they got into the program. I almost cried when I heard. THIS is why I saved for 20+ years. THIS is what I want for my kids. Holy shit this is so cool.

I'm going to call it now. This is the week at all falls apart. If you think it's bad now, it's going to get worse. I don't know why I have this feeling. I just do. If I could explain my screwed up brain, I would.

Forgot to share the surprise great beer I had a Dark Lord Day. Ghostchant from Hammond-based Foreign Local. I'm usually not into these (unless I'm at Homes), but this one really stood out. Delicious.

On another economic note - retail sales figures are NOT adjusted for inflation. Inflation’s effect on prices can drive perceived increases even though actual activity may be flat.

Some clarity on today’s news headlines: The Producer Price Index, ex food and energy, was up 5.2% year over year. The headline number was 6.0% year over year. BUT, if you annualize the month over month figures from this morning, you’re looking at nearly 17% and 12%.
