Last night was the last baseball game for me in the regular season. I might return for the playoffs, but that may come down to how my schedule works out. It was a comeback for the ages for the Dodgers. They hit five home runs to win the game after being down 9-5 after the sixth inning. They almost make me want to start rooting...

This past Sunday I went to an American football game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Rams won 34-24. The Buccaneers used to be my favorite team when I watched football regularly. I mostly went on Sunday so I can say I saw Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady play in person. He is one of the best players of all-time...

The last few days have been among the most confusing I have had in a long time. I found out on Wednesday evening one of my oldest friends died from COVID-19 on Tuesday night. We had been friends since we were about 12 years old. The relationship with my friend had been strained over the past few years. He was moving to the right on...

The week has come and gone. I went to a baseball game Monday night.

Outside of recording the podcast on Tuesday I haven't spoken to anyone. I have tried to reach out to the people I know, but it hasn't been successful. It guess I have been left behind as life marches on.

My Mandalorian helmet just showed up the other day. I ordered it last December and nearly forgot about it! My stuff is always cooler than I am.

The light on the helmet works and everything! 😊

Apparently, one of families on the other side of town are Jurassic Park fans. I saw their house when driving by. It is always like this, and not for

It has been a low key time lately. My days have mostly been consumed with my primary passions of baseball and films. I have been writing a baseball blog for a website and also started a baseball podcast. I really appreciate having a good partner on the show. My weeks become a blur once Wednesday hits. Monday and Tuesday are the two quieter days of...

As I was nominated by @chroi I will give this a shot. 😊

1.Any travel, vacation or Holiday plans for summer.

I have been around the house for the most part this summer. I started a new baseball blog and podcast venture, so that keeps me fairly local because of the writing and recording.

2.Any summer traditions you or your family have.

The only one...

It has been a quiet summer for me. This is partially by design and partially due to circumstance. There have been plenty of nights at the movies, but not too much else going on. I stopped by an old school video arcade at some point.

Of course, there have been shoes as well. I bought another pair of Jordan 1's. I liked the peach/black color

Last night I took the nephew to the fights. He told me he is getting into boxing. It was a fun hang with the kid.

Colbert is from New York, so nothing interesting there, but Nyambayar is from Mongolia. They call him King Tug. The fans were there to see him. Colbert won pretty easily. My nephew had fun, so it was a good night.

That does sound exciting!  I'd be on the edge of my seat!

This past weekend featured a trip to Las Vegas. Given I am not a drinker or a gambler, most of appeal of the city is lost on me. It was interesting to the stark contrast between how it was last year when no one was there compared to now, when everything is back open. Friday night after the drive up pretty quiet. Although the sky...
