Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
I remained too much in my head and ended up losing my mind [in bed].
Edgar Allan Poe
If you’re going to lose one’s mind, in bed isn’t the worst place to lose it.

Since we are slowly turning into a golf blog and nawt football, thanks to golfBallsOfHooksAndSlices (patent pending), I too have started to golf. I was using my dad’s clubs from the 70 or 80s. Let’s just say the woods are made out of wood on them, so kinda scared to use the woods, which does limit my “game”. I got some new clubs last week, and since I’m a taller human, had them add a few inches to the irons. While not going to win any PGA event, like, evar, having clubs that are made for my size and having a club face larger than a dime, does allow me to hit the ball better. This is also known as slice it into next week. But I am looking forward to the issue with my golf game being me and not the clubs. I’m not sure I’m ready to join a club and have my score tracked, but with a few more buckets at the range and hopefully a lesson or 10, I can probably be convinced to at least track my score.

As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

Going back to New York next week with the future Duchess LaCross for her nephew’s first communion party. Her sister hired both a mariachi band and a DJ as well as having an open margarita bar for this kid’s party. Probably spending around 4-grand. The kid is NINE.

Anyhow, my beloved has to work a couple days while we are there, and her family has work and school, so I asked her if she didn’t mind if I brought my golf clubs with me. And she was cool with it.

Seems like a big step in a relationship.

Hypothetically, if I have an upstairs neighbor that plays music at way too loud of a level both after 8pm and before 8am, I’m not legally liable for “handling” the situation myself, correct?

Context: Wife and I both had bad head colds all weekend long. Truth be told, we are both assholes when we are sick. (to the point we were not talking to each other last night)

/today

Wifey: “Could you fill out this thing? It’s for charity [it’s one of those ‘pick 10 NHL players in the playoffs, most points wins about $500’]

Me: “Sure thing!” [picks six defensive defensemen along with Kucherov, McDavid and two others]

Wifey: “Thank you. I want to apologize for what I said earlier yesterday.”

Me: “I, um, yeah. Me too.”

Hockey game with 39 seconds to go: Cool, this will be over in one minute.

NBA game with 39 second to go: Fuck me, another 15 minutes of timeouts, replays, and free throws?

Eldest granddaughter has been approved for study abroad.

She’s going to Madrid.

I already gave her the off the record granddaddy advice.

It involved a full glass of wine and tapas.

She is going in a couple of months.
yeah right

I was hearing today that the U-shaped happiness curve is no more. I just hope that I still get the old people uptick after this sucky middle age (although it’s really only been sucky since around August, and even then has had its bright spots, although today after around 2 pm was pretty crap). Sucks for the youngs that they can’t enjoy the idiocy of being early 20s.

Plan for tomorrow: Gym, horses, figure out what a systems interview is, free booze and sammiches, fly to Chicago

Just got back from a 5 day bender in Phoenix, golfed 3 rounds, didn’t shoot over 94 so that was good, drank waayy too much wine and didn’t get arrested. Job well done by all.

So, the latest Bears stadium proposal actually looks decent, but I rolled my eyes so many times during the pitch video that I think they’re sprained now. They legit use the word ‘synergies’

Just got back from the bar where I met my brother, daughter, and son. Burying my grandmother, (well, her ashes anyway) tomorrow, so the Irish-Americans are assembling and beginning to attack anything fermented. 99 is a hell of a run, and also 2-4 more years than I am interested in seeing. And thanks to global warming that probably won’t be an issue!

(related note, my son just cracked open a beer I was going to ship to Snow. The Irish will also be brawling tonight)

Big thanks to Rev for taking this over this year. I genuinely enjoy doing it each year and I know how much work it is. This year I simply did not have the time to do anything more than type, “The Bears are making a mistake and whatever the Giants did is wrong.”

PENIX WENT 10TH!?

OH MY GOD THAT IS HORRIBLE!!!

Finished up my first in-person interview in years. No idea if I did well or not, and there’s still one more round to go with someone who was out of town. This job would be a small paycut, but not concerned with that at all, I think I would really enjoy working there. Solar energy, so way more engineering oriented, and much easier to see the actual value in the work. They have a lab! And a test solar field! So cool!

Definitely feeling a bit stressed though, and another interview in 4.5 hours, so might order shame pizza in the interval. I think I have enough points for a free shame pizza.

Hey man, it’s cool. I think I speak for the entire Clubhouse when I say we all greatly appreciate what you regular writers do. The content is always good and the conversation is simply splendid. Being busy sometimes requires no apologies.

So, your time as the EBUG?

What does this mean for the Toronto Maple Leafs and their playoff hopes?

From The Athletic:

98. Pittsburgh Steelers (from PHI): Payton Wilson, LB, NC State

A tackling machine with sideline-to-sideline speed (4.43 40), Wilson made 402 tackles in his career and is one of the fastest and most instinctive tacklers in this class. There are major injury concerns, however. In fact, NFL Network reported Friday that Wilson has no ACL in one of his knees. He might not make it beyond his first contract (he’s already 24 years old), but Wilson is ready to play right now — if he stays healthy.

I’m going through the 5 stages of Sunday Gravy. I’m spent, absolutely trashed from exertion. I’m elated that the meal I just cooked turned out as well as it did. I’m excited that you get to read about it in…

Three weeks! I’m also wondering what to cook next.

Finally, I’m fortunate for having you wonderful folks along for the ride.

I would have never made the menu that I just cooked and it was one of the best things I’ve ever had.

I’ll keep doing this damn thing for awhile if that’s OK?
yeah right

Worst thing about Nottingham’s stadium from a fan’s perspective? The little johns.

/yeah, I went there. I was so relieved.

If you have having trouble “loggin in”, once logged in it may say that you are not logged in, at that point, refresh the page. If that does not work, then clear your cache and “loggin in” again.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.

Stay busy and safe out there.
