Sorry, don't have a lot of time so a couple quick points as we plunge into the 2nd half:
-Sano had the lead in All-Star voting but lost it at the last moment. Santana and he will represent the Twins this year.
-Meyer (whom I'm sure you know is having a decent year) is facing off against Mejia for the second time this year. Neither figured in the decision their first time.
-That's it. I just said "a couple".

July 3, 2017: Awkward
Living in the suburbs means they all compete with each other. However, since this is basically an extended weekend, by traveling 5-10 miles we can skip between them (sorry, my suburb) and see 3-4 full blown fireworks displays this weekend if we want to.
(At the same time, are fireworks displays losing their power? The boy is still kind of interested, but not thaaaat much...)
R.E.M. – Nightswimming
Not sure how this song hasn't ended up on the mix before. Definitely quintessential summer stuff.
July 2, 2017: Successful Product Launch
Thanks to the Padre's updates, I've been seeing the name Felix Jorge for awhile. Hopefully we'll continue seeing it in the gamelogs now.
FMD: WGOM Summer Mix 2017
All right, ladies and germs, nice job again this year. Please find your own copy of the mix here.
In that folder, you'll see several files. If you want the individual files, go to the folder labeled "Tracks". However, this year (which I've wanted to do for the last couple), we've created a single mp3 that contains the mix in its entirety, which is the preferred method of consumption. The result is a seamless mix with each track flowing directly into the next. There are 3 versions of varying bitrates, so please select the sound quality of your choice (the lowest one isn't shabby or anything though).

June 29, 2017: Do A Flip!
I caught up to the present on a TV show I was watching (which never happens), and decided to finally pull the trigger on Better Call Saul after the mentions in the movie TV post. In the first episode, I saw he had the same flip phone that I used to have. Ahh, the early aughts...
At The Movies TVs
(I know it's been less than a month, but we should probably try to nudge this back towards its normal programming slot.)
Since we're living in the Golden Age Of Television™, it's probably worthwhile to discuss TV's Oscar awards (better known as the Emmys). What's been your favorite TV shows of late? Any deserve special recognition? Admittedly, I don't watch enough TV to properly say who actually deserve a nomination. I can only say that if Zach Woods doesn't get something, I'll consider the Emmys an exercise in futility.
Japanese Breakfast – Machinist
While curating the mix, it's fun to try to guess who contributed which song. Sometimes it's easier to guess than others.
June 28, 2017: Rise And Shine
Woke up in my own house for the first time (in a bed, not counting the first two nights on a couch). It's pretty cool. However living between two houses with multiple dogs is less so.
