My worst airplane horror story was watching UA 175 rocket over my head and into the south tower of the WTC on Sept. 11, 2001. But if you want something less morbid, I once shared a row on a EWR-SFO flight in the last seat of the aircraft (I didn’t know at the time that those seats are narrower than standard economy…

You get all of my stars for the day!

Oh sweetie, mouse poop doesn’t randomly appear.

Pay is pretty lousy in the government sector; I receive 0% or 1% pay raises each year. But yeah, the 15 holidays off, 35-40 hour work weeks and short commute make things more tolerable than pressure cookers elsewhere.

Or suburban splitlevel? Those homes are everywhere in the NY & NJ suburbs. 1950s-1980s.

I saw the new Ranger in Mexico last year. It’s a handsome pickup.

I interviewed for a job in Palo Alto about a decade ago. The cheapest home I could find was a tiny, 2 BR fixer-upper in EPA that was next to the 101 freeway. Price was $550,000. I stopped looking for employment in the area after that.

I believe that 2011 was the final model year for the U.S. Ranger.

Also, triathletes are the most narcissistic group of athletes out there.

Step #1. Quit goofing off on the Internet all day.

“Put it in ‘H’!”

My gym has a fella who enjoys sitting at the bicep or quad extension machine long after he is finished and chats with other patrons for what seems like an eternity. I want to give him $1 and tell him to hang out at the diner if he wants to gossip all day.

Pops turned 80 recently. He saw his own father whither away due to dementia and was determined to slow down the process when he retired at 65.

It truly is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

If McCutchen is such a lousy fielder, why not ship him to an AL team looking for a platoon OF or a DH?
