It seems like every time I turn around, there's a new show about people returning from the dead. I guess that's our thing now.

I just watched episode 1 of some Aussie show about that like a week or two ago. I can't think of what it was called. (It wasn't obvious that it was about dead people.)
Local Citizens with young'uns, there's an event that looks to be very good at the Maplewood Public Library on Monday. I can't make it, but if anyone is able to go, please report back!

As in those who are planning to make a pilgrimage from afar?
Finally got around to looking at the boy's school schedule. The last day of class is two days after Memorial Day. What the shit is that!? How pointless and vacation ruining.
Too early or too late?
I understand the calendar shifts around, but what's the point of coming back to school after Memorial weekend for 2 days?
This is why the only True and Right school schedule has school starting the day after Labor Day*. That way there is always 4 days of class after Memorial Day and then about another week of classes after that.
*caveat: I realize this schedule may not be the best one in warmer parts of the country.
We always started school after Memorial Day, and I remember my graduation day being May 25.
So your summer breaks were a long weekend?
sheesh, make that Labor Day.
When I was in school, I thought it was a law that we couldn't start until after Labor Day.
MN state law, maybe. MO routinely starts in early-mid August, if they aren't a year-round school.
A lot of schools start the school year earlier to have an extra week or two to prep for standardized tests.
My older son's school started on August 8th this year, and gets out on May 25. That wouldn't bother me in the abstract, except my wife and I both teach until mid June.
My wife's school always starts at the beginning of August as well, which really makes zero sense in Southern California. You would think they would want schools to sit empty in August instead of June, when we still have June Gloom keeping the weather relatively mild or at least not nearly as blazing hot as August. At least both my boys go to the same school (although part of her duties include IT at the school, so she works year round.)
Spooky - arguably "people returning from the dead" has been a thing of focus for ~2000 years.
From your faith tradition maybe. I would guess that the idea that one could return from beyond the grave has been around since people started talking to each other.
Yeah, I was just... it was... Western Civilizat.... oh nevermind.
Meat, you must have some nieces and nephews because that is uncle-level joke spoiling. My uncles specialize in this on Facebook.
Can't tell if compliment. I'll take it as a complement.
And yes, yes I do.
It depends on what you're going for.
My uncles always crack me up by taking my jokes seriously and cracking jokes on serious posts. I can't tell if they're tone deaf or comedic geniuses at an Andy Kaufman level.
Selig shrug.
Twins looking to upgrade catching. Not a whole lot of new news, but it sounds like they might be ready to make an offer to Jason Castro. He's a little below average offensively but regarded as a good pitch framer. As a lefty, he could provide a good complement to Murphy if Murphy can bounce back from last year.
I walked past a stack of the Cities 97 Sampler at the downtown Target. I remember what a huge deal the release used to be, people would line up super early to get them. I don't listen or pay attention to broadcast radio very often, is Cities 97 less popular now, is the music not as good, or did people just get bored of it?
I'm biased as I'd like to burn Cities to the ground for what they did to me in my youth. Might have mentioned that once or twice already...
Too much soft jazz?
Among other travesties, I didn't get into The Replacements until 2 years ago due to them saturating the airwaves with Westerberg's solo crap. "The Replacements? You mean that 'Love Untold' guy? Eff that."
I don't recall this story, though that's probably my lack of memory? Either way, do tell...
Is Clayton Krenshaw enough or do the Twins hold out for Joe Blanton too?
Get R DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So um, Kate Upton had an interesting reaction to the Cy Young vote today.
I laughed out loud
Very. Although I do agree she had reason to be upset. Porcello wins despite only fifth best rWAR. He did at least have second best ERA+, but still, I think Verlander and Kluber both more worthy. Looks like too many voters still like the win stat too much. And what's up with the Tampa writers leaving Verlander off altogether?

Excellent use of the spoiler.

I see. So my request for your retelling notwithstanding, your retellings are almost approaching Cities97-levels of repeat?
I totes balls that I responded multiple times with my feelings about Brian Oake.
maybe the tracks are all on spotify?
Dodgers have talked to Twins about Dozier.
Sell high!
