As I've recently mentioned, we've been going through the extended cuts of the LotR franchise. Well, they're long. We started the 3rd movie last night, which comes in at a bit over 4 hours. We should hopefully finish by the new year.

Morgan Bulkeley was the first president of the National League.
Mike Sodders was a first-round draft choice for the Twins in 1981. A star third baseman at Arizona State, he never could adjust to wooden bats, never hit, and never made the major leagues.
Dad A was a Twins fan since the team started, and was a baseball fan before that. He coached, he ran the public address system, and he was on the board of the local baseball association. One of the many gifts he gave me is a love of baseball. He would have been one hundred two years old today. Rest in peace, Dad.

So, we aired Festivus some grievances (which should you still have some, the floor is still open), but today, who ended up on your Nice List this year?
