Aww, shoot. Forgot to set the football draft. Are people still interested? If so, I could set one for Wednesday so we can still get the Thursday game in.

My entire time out here I've lived west of work, which means I get to drive into the sun both ways. Anyone else have a similar predicament?

The younger boy grabbed and asked my phone to play "It's Raining Tacos", however my phone is set to only play songs in my library so it played "It's Raining" by Eleni Mandell instead. I thought that was pretty funny.

Seven & i Holdings, the Japanese owners of 7-Eleven, rejected a multibillion dollar takeover from a Canadian company. Good! That place is a national treasure (though they all kind of suck in this country).

Will the Twins make it?

Gonna have to be next time, Saturn.

I've strangely always been a fan of watching tennis, even when Wimbledon was interrupting my Saturday morning cartoons. This has been a fun US Open so far and it's also a little weird to watch a major that's basically in my time zone.

School starts early around here. In the Minne, I never started before Labor Day. I do like the idea of starting the week before on Wednesday, so there's three days of school, then Labor Day so four days of school this week, and then up to the full five days of school the week after that. But, that's not what we do around here...

Hope all the citizens have a safe holiday.
