On the way to school this morning, the Poissonnière was talking about the new game she learned at school yesterday. I told her I learned a similar game when I was a kid, but it was called something else.
Wittgenstein wrote that the limits of one’s language are the limits of their world. I’ve noticed that she pronounces certain words differently than I do, regional subtleties that make it clear we’re from different places. No doubt the color of our language will wash our worlds with unique tinctures.
If she starts calling one of these a “bubbler,” I don’t know what I’m gonna do.

Olympic silver medalist, Joe Ryan, makes his MLB debut tonight. He's done well throughout his minor league career. He put up a 12.5 K/9 and a Rhu_Ru-approved 1.6 BB/9 this year in AAA with the Rays and Twins. Only two of those starts came as a Saint and struck out half of his batters faced (17 strikeouts, 34 batters faced). I am skeptical he will be that good in this start, but it is the Cubs.
