I think I saw him do “Heart of Gold” at least once. I’ll admit I was not buying into the hype on him when I first heard of him, but all it took to change my mind was seeing him.

Miller Park is underrated, but not in the top 5. It probably gets into my top 10, though. (I’ve been to the current 30.)

I went to a bunch of Late Night tapings in the late 90s/early 00s. They were pretty fun. But once the show started, Conan was all-business with no crowd interaction. On the other hand, the couple Daily Show tapings I went to around the same time were basically parties interrupted by a tv show taping. They were very…

Wow. What has Ted Talbot Jr. been smoking these days?

He joked about creating an all-Indian Mission Impossible reboot, in which the computer nerd is played by a white guy.

I was thinking the same on both accounts. The theater in my hometown had $3 Tuesdays. So I was there just about every Tuesday to see whatever was showing. I sat through a lot of trash, but also saw a lot I never would have otherwise.

About a month ago I quoted Out of Sight on a quiet train car with a bunch of high schoolers whooping it up - “Sign says shut the fuck up or can’t you fellas read?” They did not think it was as clever as I did. But they did move.

I dragged 3 friends to see Rushmore when it first opened by us. I doubt any of them have seen it since. But they were polite. They probably remember more that on the way home a truck had flipped over and we were stuck in traffic for hours because of it - because of me wanting to see a movie.

I recently met a gentleman who has seen Pearl Jam 53 times. (Of course he knew off the top of his head.) Although, he pointed out that he didn’t see them at all while his children were under 5. But now that the youngest is 6, apparently he’s back to going to shows.

Each airline is a little different about this, but with itinerary changes like that you should be able to call the airline to make changes for free. Check your options (e.g., connecting through a different airport) before calling the airline so that you know what is/isn’t available.

On a one-way that should be ok. But I wouldn’t make a habit of it. Airlines have been known to bill regular offenders for the fare differences.

Two Seinfeld sex jokes I did not get for years:

All that talk and then Colbert admits he hasn’t played since college? What kind of gaming nerd is this guy?

Except it wasn’t for the first time. Elias made an update. Cap Anson also did it. Now, that is a very Mets thing. And, of course, Anson is one of the most prolific and influential racists in MLB history.

An old coworker was doing this 10 years ago and actually invited people to look at her nostrils because they were spotless after the wax. I declined the invitations.

I was on a JetBlue flight to Chicago that night near the back of the plane. As the game went on, I could see more and more seatback TVs turning to the game. Pretty fun to see.

I recently went to a Triple-A game and in the bottom of the 9th an older man in a Royals hat (neither team’s a Royals affiliate) snuck into the seats right next to the visiting team’s dugout with the standard autograph hound trapper keeper and a ball in a cube. He did not watch any play on the field; he kept his eyes…

I recently made what I considered a clearly sarcastic comment to a match and they replied “lol ok” and unmatched me. So, I’m learning my lesson in how to use sarcasm this time around with online dating.

If I were sight-impaired, I would be so upset with these broadcasters for not explaining at all what happened.

This was one of the more difficult things the first time I went to Japan. I will cheat with seafood sometimes, and that came in handy big time. But my diet is mostly vegetarian and it’s what I prefer. So I had to ask a few times in broken Japanese and the answers were rarely helpful. Notably, one server in English…
