Were they afraid of losing him in the Mouse Parade at the end of the shift? These are things we’ll probably never know.

But, other than that……how do you enjoy it?

Taylor Townsend is #1 in women’s doubles but outside the top 100 in singles….until the next rankings come out. She just played a 25+ minute tiebreak and lost in the second after an easy 6-1 first set. I’m fascinated by her and her story. She trains at the park I go to with a phone/tablet on a tripod aimed at her, and she hires a hitting partner (who is amazing!). It’s a FaceTime session with her coach on the tripod who talks with her periodically. Sometimes she will just stand and talk with the coach for long stretches with nothing for the hitting pro to do. Even when she’s hitting it’s not always high rep hitting, it’s very deliberate with each ball. My buddy has been known to get to hit with the hitting pro after particularly light sessions when he wants to break a sweat. This is not IMG Academy or a fancy club, it’s the hardcourts at the park. She has a little boy who will tell her after a loss “that’s alright, Mommy, do you want to play dinosaurs?” It puts things in perspective.

Why did I fear that that might lead me to Peter Pan? I think I need games to start…..

She’s playing in the US Open from NYC, and we all know there is only one NFL team in New York!!! She looked solid today, in firm control. Like the Bills, she is indeed good enough to win it all as the #4 seed. She just needs a few things to bounce right for her. .

McD had TWO years worth of wins last season while masterfully losing the finale last year to “only” have 13 wins…..and some people are just waiting to pounce.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m still pretty hot under the collar about our 4th round pick in 2011. I am almoooost so done with this team!

Let’s not kid ourselves….I don’t think there is any way the scorn holds off until Monday. We won’t make it until half time. We could win by 20, and there will still be some complaints. But yes, it can be very entertaining!

Are you sure it was a cooking show? It sounds more like The Twilight Zone.

I guess it’s OK, if the Ohio State University can play in the Big 10.

I think I saw that episode. I mean, it looks familiar…

Of course not everybody. I personally go for the bees.

Things at the Dollar Tree and Dollar general should all have the same price….a dollar. It’s not “A Buck and Change”.

Do you argue with the cashier over the extra 50 cents every time?

I suppose his craw is better than some other options. 🤷‍♂️
