*wants to rant that the day isn't any longer than yesterday; gives up*
go soak your head.
I had to edit this post to move it out of the video slot and I considered submitting a letter noting Rhu_Ru's objections to "longest day." If it makes you feel better, I did emphasize most amount of sunlight with the 4yo this morning when discussing the solstice.
Well done.
My newly minted 5-year-old was hoping the night would be very short tonight, and I had to break the news that we'd need to go somewhere like Alaska or northern Norway for that to happen.
At StreamingSoundtracks.com, several years ago we started a long standing tradition of playing long tracks* on Summer solstice (short tracks if you live in the southern hemisphere), and the converse on Winter solstice. I was bummed that Patrick Doyle's "St. Crispin's Day -- The Battle of Agincourt" from Henry V had already been requested three hours earlier -- d@mn those Europeans and their earlier days!
*normally these are frowned upon typically as they create a backlog of requests
Boy, if Max could learn a helicopter follow through on his swings, he'd look like the second coming of the Mountie.
At the game today. My clients couldn't find parking so went home. App won't let me get their tickets back.
I always take screenshots of any phone tickets I have. No worries about WiFi, weird apps, etc. scanners don’t care if it’s from app or not.
I need to do that. This is a new app this year so I'm still figuring it out.
Going forward, I think I'll just attach the pdf to an email that they can print out. That way, it's still in my app if they can't make it, lose it, etc.
I love baseball but it's pretty boring to attend a game alone. Too much downtime to not have someone to talk to.
Best plan for airline boarding passes, too - screenshot, in case no wifi
Molitor was asked if he thought there was a purpose to pitch Porcello drilled Escobar with. He paused. "It didn’t look particularly good to me."
Also, Mauer was hit twice in a game for the first time in his 15-year career in this series.
Can't get hit unless you step up to bat #WhatTheHeckDoesThatMean
The two Mauer hbps are the two least intentional of all time.
That sounds like a challenge
Byron Buxton is so far 1-for-3 for Rochester, a single and two strikeouts. He was also hit by a pitch. Miguel Sano is not in the lineup for Fort Myers. Since going to Fort Myers, he has played one, sat one, played one, and now sat one. I can only assume that the Twins have some reason for that, but I don't know what it is and it really does not make much sense to me.
As someone who's raised a kid, it's called "timeout"
But even so, I don't understand the every-other-day thing.

the lesson is read your Bookface messages?
I think it worked out alright for him.
