  1. Two things - 

    1)  I like how the Christmas tree was posted after a question about toilet paper.  Toilet paper to future toilet paper.

    2) I'm kind of against social media for the most part. I do accept that many companies of interest (i.e. breweries :)) have Instagram as their main source of communication as a website.  I don't have an Instagram.  I've been able to get by and check in on those public accounts of interest without having an account by just having those familiar URLs in my history and internet browsing cadence.  However, today - it appears when you go to any public Instagram, it requires you to log-in or have an account.  Boo to that. 

     

  2. I hear you. The Oladipo news is troubling. Including his college days, he's been a fan favorite for Indiana. I understand he'll never be paid star $$$ in Indy, but I'm not fully certain he's done enough by league standards to get it in the wallet yet.

    I'm White Sox and then Indiana/Indy everything else. However, being plugged into the Chicago sports scene, I'm excited and encouraged to see the direction the Bulls are headed.

    Man, I fucking feel for Boyer here. You can tell why he's exasperated in this email.

    Agreed - the folks in the organization (the FO to what degree(?), the players, and everyone else that is affiliated with the Sox) are placed in an unfortunate spot that they should not have been put in due to Jerry wanting this to be some fairy tale reunion.  This is a fubar for the organization and a lot of the goodwill has been erased with how the hiring of TLR went down and this news. 

    It's disappointing to think that we can't all feel the same excitement or positive vibes continue from the end of season with the individual accolades and the potential of having a manager we would all feel good about and the additions/subtractions that are made with the roster on the field.   Hopefully the Sox can turn this thing around and TLR erases this hangover (pun intended) the Sox have been riding since his hire.

    Super unfortunate. Sorry to hear. One of my good friends owns a gym too and know it's tough times. 

    For me I was trying my best to keep my membership, just became too cumbersome to drive 30 minutes each way to the gym. Nail in the coffin was the membership price being raised ... sucks cause i truly get such a better experience in a gym. 

    Agreed. I do miss having access to additional options and free weights galore. 

  5. Very good suggestions - thank you for the ideas and responses.

    Yoga's a great idea to put into action with my routine/cadence to remain active.  I have always been intrigued in utilizing it as a form of cross-training.  I took an intro class at the beginning of the year and was signed up to continue it into the spring through my parks department  that was cut short due to the pandemic.  I was very much digging it, and I would benefit to up my frequency during the course of the week to 2-3 times.  I've been a big fan of using YT for workouts and ideas since moving from the gym to my basement this year.

    You're right about finding a way to get outside.  As much as I dread/dislike the idea about going out in the dark/cold, I always feel better for it.  I need to hold myself to keep that up when the weather turns.  

    I do need to challenge myself to connect with folks more - I'm very comfortable operating in a bubble (no pun intended).  And I've got to come up with a couple goals/challenges of some things I'd like to accomplish by the time we move the clocks forward again.  

     

    Great stuff, folks - keep 'em coming!  I'm sure we all could use some thought medicine!

  6. I love the vibe of this show so much.  I have of course have seen the movies hit/miss in different ways, but this makes me very curious about the ventures I've never seen - (i.e. The Clone Wars, etc.).

    I was as skeptical about what he would say in this press conference as anyone, but he’s said everything I’ve wanted to hear.

    Outside of the way he represented himself as not being racist, he deserves credit for responding well.
