2019 Catch-All
MySpace is still around? Maybe they did it on purpose to get in the news lol

2019 Golf/PGA Tour Thread.
On one of our out of town tournaments they were playing Tiger Woods (?) I think it was and breaking par. I didn't stick around very long to watch. I tend to give them space when we take those trips.

2019 Golf/PGA Tour Thread.
I find it interesting that my players have so little interest in watching the tour. I keep telling them that they will learn from watching the best players compete, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. I hope the latest video game is helping.

Are There Any Windy City Bulls Fans Here?
I agree. Teams seem to be using the system to make money, expand the fan base, etc. I really don’t see it as developing players. Rosters are small and top college players can make an impact immediately.

DNA Testing
Your library may have Ancestry available. I know mine does. But you do need to be on one of their computers.

DNA Testing
My daughter gave most of the family DNA kits for Christmas. Lots of spit going into test tubes. It’s a little weird looking at results. My dad walked out when I was a newborn so that side isn’t really interesting to me. But to see that genetically the regional references where way more on his side. I always assumed I was mostly German, turns out it’s almost all English, Irish, and Scottish. Also we mostly immigrated through the south, so I can more rightfully claim being a southerner lol. It’s also interesting how much info is available. Yearbook photos of my mom. Records of rental homes.

Fire Jim Boylen
He is a really nice guy. Nice enough for me to be pulling really hard for his success. My wife taught his kids when he was on the Spurs staff. Pops always had high praise for him.

Ozzie will be on NBCSN more this season
I still cringe when he talks. I’d be scanning for alternate coverage.

To help your family
This will be easier. She was the only child of only children. Literally her only family currently loving are our two kids. My daughter isn’t interested in much and wants her brother to have most everything. I really don’t see it spinning out of control. But what a mess. It will take a month just to clean out her apartment. She hadn’t unboxed from her move. She was moving from a three bedroom house temporarily into an apartment and just left most of her stuff in boxes.

College Cheating Scandal F.Huffman/L.Loughlin
Meanwhile parents that will walk a thousand miles, sneak across the border, to give their kids a better life are invaders looking for a handout.

To help your family
Have a will and a list of accounts, perhaps a whole to do list when you die. My kids are dealing with a horrible mess. My ex died unexpectedly and left a giant mess that will take months to sort out.

Kopech the latest MLB player with questionable Twitter history
At least I have a topic to discuss with my seniors next week. The benefit to society of him getting taken to task is it stops today's kids from publicly saying stupid stuff. There are no training wheels, posting on line is the real world that plays by adult rules. Society isn't going to tolerate I'm just an idiot 17 year old.

2018 catch-all
Really. For those of us that basically felt TL;DR could you post a synapsis?

The environment thread
One of the early assignments for my HS English students is analysing straw bans. Until I did a little research I was unaware how dependent some people with disabilities are on straws. There are always unintended consequences.

Golf
Time to crank up high school golf. I have a freshman that averaged in the mid 70s for 17 tournament rounds over the summer including a closing round four under 67 to win his age group. It's going to be a good year.

Your first Album collection/First concert attended
Even after I wouldn’t pay for the cassettes they sent without my permission, they sold me eight CDs for a $1.00 lol

Your first Album collection/First concert attended
Like all of my friends I quit while owing like $100 and no job. Somehow I managed to repair my credit lol.

I love the lyrics combined with seeing him as the young singer songwriter then as someone closer to my age.

Midterms 2018
There have been some politicians who really understand and follow through on the take responsibility, Al Franken comes to mind. But most are just as you described above.

Golf
The great thing today is how easy it is to keep a video record and go back to compare. I use V1 Golf and created libraries for most of my players.

2018 catch-all
I’m planning a small bike shed for my backyard. The bikes are getting in the way of my expanding wood working shop. I’m not certain if I like woodworking or buying tools.
