And this banner year is now half way complete.

We of course join everyone in celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the Negro Leagues by tipping our cap. #TipYourCap2020

If I understand this correct, the NHL has created a system for this year that would give eight teams (including the Wild) incentive to immediately and viciously tank their opening "playoff" series. All right, I guess.

My grandpa's getting well into his 90s, so he moved into a home awhile back. He didn't want anything in his large, old St. Paul home anymore, so he told the family to take whatever they'd like. I was sad because there were so many great things, including some beautiful and very large pieces, that we just didn't have the space for and/or way to good way to get to us. Below is one small thing I did take though. Grandpa used it as kind of miscellaneous drawer. One, it's a good sturdy drawer that wasn't prohibitively large. Two, I remember it from all the way back as a small child because I could never figure out what the hell those words/name(s?) meant. Cursory G##gle search brought no answers. Anyone have an idea?

Bad news, guys. G.R.R. Martin came out of his hole and saw his shadow. That means (at least) one more year until The Winds Of Winter will come out.

The recently re-opened Las Vegas casinos will now require guests to wear masks which how weren't they before!?
