Sorry for the late post, gang. I just got to work, and all of the settings on my computer are off and I can't change them back for some reason. Annoyance levels rising...

September 26, 2023: In Tune
(I double booked a CoC apparently, so I'm just going to post it today.)
Getting ready for bed, I'm usually listening to stuff on my headphones. Tunes, podcasts, what have you. Anyway, I'm sure this has never happened before, but my sonic-y toothbrush perfectly matched the key of the song I was listening to. Like, the song and my toothbrush could have jammed.
Happy Birthday–September 26

Gus Schmelz managed several teams in the late 19th century. He is one of the few who became a manager without having played professionally.
Bob Coleman managed in the minor leagues for thirty-five years. He had the most wins as a minor league manager when he retired, 2,496, a mark since passed by Stan Wasiak.
Former Knicks player Mel McGaha was the manager of the Kansas City Athletics from 1964-1965.
We'd also like to wish a happy birthday to Beau's daughter.
September 25, 2023: The Suckiest Bunch Of Sucks That Ever Sucked
The Vikings are always finding new and innovative ways to lose. I blame Jon Bois for this.
September 25, 2023: Football Season?
We were productive this weekend so I recorded the Gophers and Vikings Football games to watch after the fact with Niblet. We did not, in fact, watch them back. We did, however, watch the Sunday Twins game (mostly live broadcast).
