Son of wlu and Mrs lax6 went to visit my nephew at u of VT and an tie in to check out Middlebury. My wife loved the school. My son thought it was too supportive of the kids. Basically the school does not let the kids struggle through it. Fascinating view from the kid. My nephew is loving VT. He is n...

Double feature on my flight last night. 1.) Mission Impossible (the one with Tom Cruise jumping the bike off the mountain). Good idea but full of big flaws. And I can usually suspend my disbelief. The self-driving car item is the one that got me angry. Nice commercial placement I guess. Also I have ...

Anyways, the weather didn't cooperate, but got to see some amazing goals and some pretty great hits. I don't have some big take away other than: UVA's offense is REALLY difficult to defend. I thought M did a poor job of figuring out the pretty obvious picks and about half a dozen goals game off of ...

UVA just signed the #1 player in the 2025 class, Brendan Millon. His older brother, McCabe Millon was also the #1 player in his class and is now a first-year at UVA. While two brothers each being #1 in the country is amazing enough, I learned that their parents are BOTH in the lacrosse hall of fame...

Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Amazon...not a bad series. Good characters and likeable actors. Different than the Brad -Angelina movie. Elements of the Atlanta episodes I liked.

So with Kuzy in the rehab program and Backstrom on Long Term injury reserve, the Caps' salary cap has gotten flexible. Interesting to see if they are the destination for expiring contracts in deals. Hope they don't get goofy and become a buyer for a playoff run. This is not the year.

On Wednesday my sister got grilled by congress. The grand old party gave her a grand old lashing. Things I learned from watching the hearing videos on Wed. 1.) Members of congress struggle pronouncing my last name 2.) Hard to find clips of democrats asking questions 3.) The internet trolls don't lik...

Taking the boy to Orlando next weekend to go to the Pro Bowl as a graduation trip. After making fun of him for watching the Pro Bowl for years, my wife suggested I take him and he was excited, so I'm dropping several grand to watch a flag football game. My wife was suggesting some VIP trip that inc...

I was part of a team Friday night at a trivia contest. One question asked in which state Washington and Lee University was located. I was the only one on the team who had heard of the school and knew the answer. All because of wlu_lax and the Swamp! I’m not even sure I know for certain but isn’t it...

Otis Redding was 26 when he died. Huh, I always pictured him as an old man. Same! I recently asked my Alexa to play Otis Redding, and it plays some strange Japanese video game style music (Otatari?..old Atari? I don't know), She can tell me who Otis Redding is when I ask, but messes up the music ev...

Just realized LIV scheduled an event in Las Vegas the weekend of the Super Bowl which seems idiotically on-brand for them. ETA: think most ppl know but the Super Bowl is in Vegas this year so hotels etc are at a premium. I am sure the deep pocket backers on the LIV are not worried about that. Inste...

So my son and I are thinking of exercising his language skills after rowing season this summer. Current thought is bike trip in Europe.
