Kyrie, man. I flew into B-Town the day before. He was not on my flight.
I've always liked Doc Rivers. And had a soft spot for the Ankle Biter, Danny Ainge. This piece from back in May gives me even further appreciation for them.
Ainge has proven to be a very positive force in the NBA on mental health issues.
We had our (monthly) staff potluck yesterday. Every month we do a theme. This month was soup-and-sandwich-fixins. I made this gazpacho recipe. It was awesome, but virtually untouched by colleagues. So I brought about half of it home and had it for dinner last night with baguette and cheese.
The Mrs...basically refused to try it. "Maybe I'll try some heated up tomorrow." Uh, sure, honey.
WTF? What is so scary about gazpacho?
Again, all wisdom can be found in the Simpsons' library. 🙁
Thanks to Sears's troubles, I'm the proud owner of a brand new range. One of the Sears in Madison is closing, so we went down there and bought an LG range, glass top and work a convection oven. It looks all futuristic because it doesn't have any knobs. I do have some concerns about making pizzas, but I bought a pizza stone and i figure if I get it hot enough they'll come out OK.
I'll be watching for those Labor Day sales on microwaves, because wrong color now
We've got a black fridge and dishwasher, but stainless microwave and oven. I almost wish I hadn't bought the open box fridge because they had some brand new stainless models that were going for about what we paid for the one we have. Overall, I don't really care about matching appliances, but I do care for a good deal.
Dude, when does it matter what WE care about?
Cabinets are white now, so we've been transitioning from white appliances to slate
Fair point. In my defense, I hate moving so I have no desire to try to sell this crappy place.
man, I am with you there
Lowe's just announced that they were closing all of their OSH stores. 😔
By just, you mean four days ago in the USA Today money section?
Yes. Has it been discussed here? In the context of home repairs or Labor Day sales???
Does any one else know what OSH even is? Never heard of it until this week.
99 stores, but all in Cali, Florida, and Oregon. I did not realize they were owned previously by Sears.
It's a big loss to my town. We still have a Home Despot and a True Value, but OSH was the go-to for garden supplies.
John McCain has died. He was a flawed human being, like us all. Capable of great bravery, great compassion, great humanity, and great failure. If you read only one thing about him in the coming days, read the piece linked in this tweet:
It was a cool milestone to see in person, and share with my kids.
I was hoping you'd see run #1000, too.
I swear, the dugout mics pick up Moli the most animated when he's shouting at the umps to save the ball.
Find the cost of freedom....

Also, I had not previously noticed who is standing next to him on the right of that photo.
Are you talking about The Greatest of All Time or The Boxer?
The GOAT, of course. 😀
/forbidden zone/ ugh. I'm sad to see the elder statesman go ...
Aye. This is punch in the gut for anyone who wants politicians to be respectable.
Thanks for the story. I was not aware.
