  1. Wife waited until after obligatory gestures before expressing her irritation at my lack of agenda for the day.

  2. Yesterday, Garrison Keillor said dads don't need (or necessarily deserve) anything - - the best thing kids can do for their dad is to treat their moms well a month earlier.

  3. You may have noticed--I hope at least someone noticed--that Minor Details has been on hiatus for a few days. It will remain on hiatus for at least a few more. I may give more details later, but for now suffice it to say that my dad is in the hospital. People can fool you, but the best case scenario appears to be that he and Mom will go to a nursing home. We don't really want to talk about the worst case scenario, but while it's not the most likely outcome it is definitely one of the possibilities. We'll all do what we have to do and we'll get through it, because everyone does. It's not like we're the first family to go through this, and we won't be the last. Still, your prayers are appreciated.

    1. Best wishes to you and yours. Hope things turn out well for you all, or at least as well as can be given whatever may be going on.

    2. Sorry to hear this, Jeff. Thoughts seem too little to give, but it's what we have. Hang in there.

    3. Thinking good thoughts, Padre.

      The end comes to each of us eventually. Not that knowing that makes things easier. I hope your faith and theirs smooths all of your paths and gives you comfort in the days and weeks ahead.

    1. Couple the rulings chaos with the FOX production of golf and its led to a very frustrating viewing experience.

      1. I didn't think Joe Buck could be worse at something than he is at baseball, but holy moly. I think maybe they should just let NBC deal with golf from here on out.

      1. Yeah, they had to have been hoping that he didn't pull a Van de Velde.

        Great, great shot. Glad he pulled it off. Even better that he did so in a way that made the penalty moot.

  4. Speaking of golf, this is where I work (taken from my snapchat ).

    we've had a bit of water down here in the sticks of southern Minnesota.
    sigh

    1. There's been enough time for algae growth? (or is that just clippings floating on the surface)

      1. I will at least say I'm glad love got a ring, especially after he had a very good game.

    1. The game was good, but ugh, the buzzer barely sounded before I had to unfollow people on Twitter. Tomorrow is going to be terrible.

  5. Not that Cleveland was hot at the end of the game, but GS scored 0 points in the last 4:39. Hard to blame that on some illuminati conspiracy theory.

    I thought the best plays down the stretch were LeBron's monster block and the Irving 3.

  6. Anthony Swarzak is getting better results with the Yankees and has made adjustments based on fx data he was given:

    “It’s pretty cool; I’ve never seen anything like it before,” Swarzak said. “I know teams use it but I’ve never had an organization present it to me so everyone is on the same page and knows, ‘Hey, this is what you need to do. This is how your stuff plays.’ ”

    1. How many former Twins pitchers are there in tge majors? It feels like there are quite a few but might be my imagination.

      How many stories like this do we need to read before we realize this organization needs a major overhaul?
