100% agree. I generally schedule my long distance runs for Sat or Sun mornings, so I’m usually not drinking at parties. Or at most, I have one and am done.

I love The West Wing for the fictional show it is. But yeah, my all-time favorite line from the show is when Leo tries to order Hoynes to do something and says something like, “The President directs you to do this, John!” And Hoynes just looks at him and says, “Leo, your boss can’t direct me to the men’s room.”

Some others to consider:

We just got back from vacation in Las Vegas and took a day trip to Grand Canyon NP. I enjoyed Vegas for what it was (good shows, good food, great people watching) but I’ll remember the trip to the park forever. We drove to the North Rim to avoid the crowds at the South Rim and I can’t recommend that enough. The drive…

Thanks for this great piece. I tend to agree with you. My speculation is that the promo was 80% work, 20% shoot. I think to make that promo really land, they had to have Miz really lay into Bryan and poke that sensitive spot.

Absolutely agree with you here. Jericho is a pro inside and outside the ring from all I’ve seen and heard. He was legit pissed at Charles Robinson when Neville broke his ankle earlier this year and kept the match going when Jericho tried to roll him up early. You can hear Jericho as he shoves the hell out of Robinson…

I can’t speak to dressage, but I spent an entire afternoon watching the cross country equestrian competition. It was awesome and it looked incredibly difficult for both rider and horse. I had no idea that was a sport. They had riders who were in their early 20's all the way up to early 60's! And horses from 3-18.

RHONJ has been going in circles for a couple seasons now. Really ever since the Gorgas’ first appearance and Danielle’s departure (can’t remember what season that was exactly) because it moved the entire series away from the interactions of different individuals and focused the entire show on the self destruction of…

Categorizing a stranger’s life as sad is not disagreement, but little more than baiting that person into an online shouting match. Which, is the definition of trolling.

Allyson Felix, and really all the female track and field team members, are bosses. I’m a very slow white dude who runs (OK...plods) so I have been loving watching all the women (and men) do well in Rio at various distances.

Are you new to social media?

My grandmother once told me, “I’m not afraid of flying because I think it’s my time to go see the Lord quite yet. I’m afraid because I look at the person sitting next to me and think, “Shit, I hope it’s not HIS time!”

Oh man! And here I thought she suggested we named the kid Luigi because of her love for Italian opera.

To extrapolate the entirety of a stranger’s personal life from an obviously humorous internet comment is odd to me.

My wife will spend a month or so performing out of town from time to time, leaving me with the dog to do as we please. Do I want to do all the laundry at once, leave it in a pile by the laundry machines and simply take from the clean pile and build a dirty pile until I need to do it again? Does the dog want to have a…

I doubt I will say anything novel after 800+ other comments. And yet, here we go with my two cents.

The Dundalk male’s natural habitat:

Sting ray barbs do contain venom, so they gave her anti-venom to help with the pain and swelling from that. Additionally, they flushed it out and disinfected it in case sand/dirt/other bacteria from the ocean had gotten into the wound. Stitched her up and bandaged the foot up. Although I don’t know how frequently…

+1 Midnight Ride

Hell yes. My grandmother would make that for me every once in a while after school as a kid. She’d totally sell it as some homemade dish too. Only when I got to boarding school did I realize it was, next to hydrogen, the most abundant thing in the universe.
