1. What did you play?

2. Just made the next-to-last tuition payment for The Boy. #emergingfromonetunnel #ohwaitthereisanothertunnel

   1. PhD program!

      1. At Oxford!

         1. And The Girl!

3. The Twins tell Miguel Sano he's had enough winter baseball.

   1. Huh.

   2. LEN3 says it was Sano's choice. He contacted the Twins and asked if it was OK to stop playing. He wants to focus on losing weight and making the switch to the OF.

4. I'll be staying downtown (Loring area?) this weekend. Any of you big-city types care to recommend places for breakfast/brunch/lunch on Saturday and/or anything else to do between evening holiday parties?

   1. Nope. Has EAR made plans to pick up your boy?
      If they want to watch Empire Strikes Back, is that a problem?

      1. Responding by email.

   2. To quote the lawyer types, "Objection! Asked and answered."

      I kid: Here you go bud!

      1. That is probably my least favorite objection ever. If I want to revisit something, or double check something, why can't I? I run the risk of getting a different answer and creating credibility issues for the witness. Let me ask it again!

         1. i heart asked and answered.

            1. I also like it out of the courtroom.

               1. I'll give ya that one.

   3. See what CoC posted but it does depend on how far you are willing to travel. Hola is great. If you are willing to go to 38th I'd consider The Peninsula if you are into malaysian. Victor's is supposed to be great for brunch. 38th and Grand. Etc.

5. I'm thinking I'll try to install dd-wrt on our router tomorrow to see if I can bump up the performance a bit. Anyone here tried it before?

   1. Yep. Depends on your hardware for the bumping up. I didn't see much gain, but YMMV. My spare router had big gains, but my more modern workhorse was pretty much the same speed wise.

      1. I thought about trying it on the old router first to see what I could manage, and if I brick it we're not out anything.

         We have a TP-Link 940n which we just got and is real nice except it's not Chromecast compatible without downgrading to v1 of the firmware. Ideally, dd-wrt on the new one will run faster w/o sacrificing the Chromecast.

         1. huh that is surprising. pretty weird that it isn't chromecast compatible.

            1. Yeah very weird. Figuring out the need to downgrade took some deep Googling.

6. R. I. P. basketball Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes, at age 87.

7. Say goodbye to storming the court after a big win.

   1. "Ouch."
