Yes, same here. We got married in my wife’s hometown (Cincinnati), and so my mother planned the rehearsal dinner mostly to provide a nice dinner for all the various out-of-town guests who were arriving that day before the wedding (mostly my family, but also my then-future-in-laws too). And it was a way for my parents…

You can bring almost any non-liquid food item (wrapped or otherwise in a container) through security. You only need to send it through the X-ray machines. We’ve done this before with no problems.

But there are always trips where you don’t have room for food or no time to pack it, or you’re out all day before going to…

I guess Trump does that to not only assert dominance over the interaction, but to do so by flummoxing the other person. The fast pull of the other person’s arm actually seems to get them off balance (since they’re not expecting it and may already be leaning in anyway) and so they look agitated and uncomfortable while…

Compromise proposal: Two innings of extra time. If still tied after the 11th, best of five home run derby (but pronounced “darby”...just kidding), with a single batter being able to take only one attempt. In other words, no Mark Trumbo vs. Nelson Cruz battle of the titans. I want to see Howie Kendrick up there to win…

Yeah, that’s true. I will put a game on mute and read or do something else when the situational pitching matchups start to bog the game down.

You raise a very good point. My thought here is that MLB is looking for low hanging fruit in terms of improving pace of play. Rules or regulations that could speed up a game without really changing the structure of the game itself. I think they’re very hesitant to start messing with things beyond these small…

Anecdotes don’t equal data, but I will say that when my wife recently went to Nordstrom to shop for a dress, the first thing she told the sales associate was, “I don’t want to look at anything from Ivanka Trump.” The woman nodded and said that a majority of her customers were saying the same thing on a daily basis.

Exactly. Equality is not a zero sum game. 

That third hour of Today is going to be a hellscape of awkward silences, forced humor, and 2-minute cooking segments that feel like an eternity.

Apparently NBC News is set to give Megyn Kelly her own Sunday evening news show at some point. Seems to have some truth, given that CBS just inked Oprah as a special…

Craig Ferguson could talk to a totem pole for 20 minutes and I’d leave the segment delighted and entertained.

I think there’s an argument for dog “gargoyle” as the worst to clean up here that should be made. I call it gargoyle because it’s a combination of dog barf and diarrhea at the same time.

Our dog ate several jerky treats that made him perhaps the sickest I have ever seen any animal in my life. It all hit him about 10…

True. There are only so many people in Dundalk to whom you can sell a UA Ravens sweatshirt, Ravens camo pants, UA grandpa sneakers, and a Ravens camo hat with UA antler logo.

I’d agree with this re: both UA and North Face. I own several pair of UA black heat gear compression shorts, which I’ve had for almost a decade now with zero issues. But, obviously that’s far away from the monstrosities you see them hawking in their flagship store here in Baltimore and the downright embarrassingly…

I took this to be more of a personal apocalypse than a civilizational apocalypse.

My $0.02, for what their worth: It is very possible to feel sympathy for her while criticizing the role she has played in her husband’s rise to the presidency. The former does not diminish the latter and it is not a zero sum arrangement. I think most reasonable people will see the predicament she is in with this…

Are we...the same person? I think we are.

There is something to this, although I will readily admit I haven’t thought or read deeply enough yet.

We had a marketing head at my firm who tricked management into letting him blow literally close to $10 million on “reformatting the brand” and “improving brand compliance”. Basically all that guy did was spend 2 years picking new colors and fonts for the website and presentations we give to clients, and develop a host…

Yes, total dad joke. He’s a dad and doesn’t even know it (yet).
