I get it. If Jesus is the reason for the season for you, then get your gospel on. It’s probably much more meaningful and enjoyable for you.

Do you have children? I wouldn’t mind Easter either if I could just skip it. Maybe just exchange a small amount of candy with the wife and be happy. Christmas is fun. Usually good food…especially on Xmas eve. Christmas parties with tasty drinks. Presents. What’s not to like?

Obviously if you’re super Christian people I guess it’s a big deal, but everything about Easter makes it the crappiest holiday ever. Nothing but work for the parents having to buy candy and hide eggs in the back yard the night before. Then you gotta wake up early so the kids can find their Easter baskets at 7am on a Sunday. Then out to freeze your nuts off watching the kids look for eggs. Except one is 15 so he hates everything and ***** the whole time. Then the kids argue because one found more eggs than the other. I get the Easter brunch people, but brunch sucks and you gotta go through all the effort of putting on dress clothes. And I don’t know about you all, but my wife insists on making ham for dinner every year bc that’s just what we eat on Easter. But the only one in my house who likes ham is my 11 year old daughter, and she only eats 2-3 tiny pieces and the rest gets put in the refrigerator only to get thrown out after a few days. I hate Easter. Can the Supreme Court vote to get rid of it? Stupid, dumb holiday. Please discuss.

If you ever get to Montreal, make sure to check out Wilensky’s. Fried bologna with salami, swiss cheese, and mustard on a roll. It’s a must whenever I get up there.

Black Mirror S7 recently released on Netflix. Looking forward to getting started, but I’m in the middle of like 3 shows right now.

I love pitch because it’s such a “cerebral” game. It’s also amazing how you can have a teammate that you just mesh with. If I had to play a game of pitch for my life and I get to pick my partner, it’s my boy Fitzy. We are able to communicate telepathically.

If you choose to shoot the moon, you need to win every trick and get all 4 points. You automatically win the game. I’ve only done it successfully like 3-4 times. Are you a bid to win guy?

If you bid 3 and don’t get it you get “set” and have 3 points deducted. The opposing team can earn up to 4 points. We call them “pitch hands,” but yes, 2-9 hands can be re-drawn. You can’t bid if you get a pitch hand though. In your games can a team choose to “shoot the moon” during the bidding process?

Yeah, I play pitch which is a very similar game to my knowledge. I was born in Rochester and lived there until I was 5 years old. My father always played Euchre with his friends. I grew up in Auburn in CNY, and we all played pitch and spades all the time. No one played euchre.

I was pretty good at most sports growing up. Ended up focusing on lacrosse in 9th grade and playing in college, but I played football, baseball, some soccer when I was really young, and CYO basketball. I was never very good at basketball. I don’t know what it is, but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. I stopped playing in like 7th or 8th grade bc it was just embarrassing. 😂

Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke on Hulu. 3 episode docu-series. Crazy Mormon wife/mother, but so much more interesting than that. Highly recommend, but it’s a tough watch if you are super sensitive around child abuse kinda stuff. Especially E3 had me a bit choked up. Interested to hear others’ opinions.

Keeps chasing that NIL money!

oof! 😥

Tell me how I should feel about this. Mike is saying he’s a 5.

Sorokin. Strome and Wilson got the assists.

I fart in your general direction.

Looks like she knows her way around a tater tot.

I’d take him too.

I’d give up 30 and one of our 2nd rounders to get Jahdae Barron. In a heartbeat.

Yeah, looks like Gonzaga and UNC are both pursuing him hard.

I’m pretty sure Helena Eagen is pregnant with Mark S’s baby.

My first born for Dedan Thomas Jr! Long shot, as I see him staying on the west coast, but a guy can hope.

Wasn’t it also your nickname in high school?

I’m sorry. The transfer portal rules and NIL are ruining college sports. With very few exceptions, any player that transfers should have to sit out a season. My interest in college basketball right now is at an all time low, and I’ve always been a huge fan. Probably doesn’t help matters that Syracuse has been absolute dog crap for several years now.

Classless prick bag. He should have taken the Lakers job.
