Which is sad, because Leinster-Munster is a massive game and one of my favorite fixtures.
That Vikings game was just awful last night. Just awful. And technically, it was another one score game!
It really was horrible. There wasn't even any drama with the possibility of them Vikingsing away the win, because the Bears were so dead set on losing.
I had it on and wasn't watching watching much, but I remember one Bears sequence where they got sacked while setting up a screen (!) and then it was 2 and 21 or something, and they ran another screen that was tackled for a loss.
Yeah, that sequence was hilarious.
If Matt nagy was coaching any other team, he would have been fired 5 weeks ago. But the Bears dont fire coaches mid season.
The officiating crew did a good job of establishing that the Vikings haven't monopolized the concept of playing down to your opponents
R. I. P. former Twins farmhand Kimera Bartee, who came to the Twins in the trade of Scott Erickson and was lost in the Rule 5 draft before playing for the Twins. He passed at the young age of forty-nine. It appears that no cause of death has been given so far.
This is clever and all, but the poor woman probably lost years of her life in the stress of those moments when she thought she forgot the choreography.

Covid exposed yet again. This time my luck may have run out.
Im to the point of thinking that pretty much everyone is going to get omicron. Just hope that one is vaxxed and boosted to mostly prevent it being bad to your body.
This is my wife's take on it, too -- covid will be the new flu.
I need to schedule my booster as I am far enough away from my own Covid experience. I have a handful of people I know who are dealing with long haul affects of Covid. I am over 90 days since testing positive and I still have (what feels like) gunk in my lungs. I am going to schedule a visit with my provider to look into this. Could just be allergies, as they rage most of the year, but I am starting to get concerned that shortness of breath may be a longer term issue.
I likewise need to schedule my booster. And, likewise, am a longhauler (though not lung effects, thankfully, just the parsomia, which is miserable but that's it). We had some concerns for our oldest regarding previous heart conditions, but now that we've gotten those cleared up, we're looking for a chance to schedule the kids too. Soon. Hopefully before school is back. I just hope I don't come to regret that we'll be doing it soon, and don't have it done already.
Control what you can. I had my booster a couple of weeks ago and took the kids to a Cub pharmacy in N. Mpls last Thursday for the first dose - they “got to” miss an hour of school. Kernel tells me that at least one of her classmates won’t be getting the vaccine because their parents don’t support vaccination (not sure if that stance is only for kids, or at all. Given what I’ve experienced with the school community, neither would surprise).
After the poke, I was able to take them to see my first elementary school, the church I received First Communion at, and the houses I lived in from age 3-10. Everything seems so small now … I remember it all being much more substantial.
We were able to get my kids the second dose a couple of weeks ago. The elementary held a vaccination clinic pretty much immediately after the approval as well, although I forgot to take them. I'm hoping that means a high percentage of the kids around here got it. This town has been kind of surprisingly pretty good about this stuff.
At the same time, after Christmas we're going up to Stillwater for my uncle's funeral. He died, at 53, from COVID and I doubt it will convince any of the anti-vaxers in the family, including his own. He had two kids who are about the same age as mine (his oldest was born 12 days before the trinket). Just a completely avoidable tragedy.
Ugh … sorry to his family and yours. Be nice if that was a one-off experience for the country as opposed to being all too common.
I heard a piece on NPR a few days ago about the "off-ramp" to endemicity like seasonal flu. We are not there yet, thanks in large part to so many people still being unvaxxed. So this winter may very well be pretty bad. But maybe by next winter. 🙁
The 1918 pandemic, with global traveling existing but nothing like it is today, lasted for 26 months. That puts us into early 2022.
Per wikipedia, that pandemic is suspected to have infected about 500 million people or around a third of the world population, over 4 waves.
That would equate to around 2.6 billion cases in COVID. We are at about a tenth of that so far (277 million) if we are to believe the data reported to WHO.
68° expected on Christmas -- I'm not buyin' it.
One degree from a nice Christmas.
With COVID cancellations, the Wild have only played 2 games in 10 days. Their schedule is going to get super condensed later in the year, isn't it?
Speaking of cancellations, this is Leinster's second consecutive cancellation/postponement

I wonder if Geoff noticed that the Utah Jazz finally hosted a ring ceremony

But we also have vaccines. They didn't.
