Subsequent GTD reflections

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.

Welcome to the offseason. Hope that you all stick around, as there are other things that we talk about here others than the footballs. I’m looking forward to seeing what YR has coming out of the kitchen. And really looking forward to ignoring all the rules when drafting Monday morning.

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

[Drafting] Leftovers from last night’s dinner, eaten cold in front of the open refrigerator while contemplating how to vanish from modern society.

Just me?

Harbs was a great coach, and then his message got staler than a doughnut lodged under a cabinet in Andy Reid’s house. His loyalty to staff that were obviously brain dead contributed a great deal to his demise.

Another glaring problem was clock management throughout his career. Several of my vocal cords are as busted out as Ginger Lynn from screaming about this.

Finally, when you just got your ass handed to you when you’re up 14, Bible verses and “Who’s got it better than us?” don’t work.

And even though Greg Roman is gone, he can get fucked with a porcupine

Woo hoo – the roast I resuscitated from the freezer for sandwiches turned out pretty good. Soaked it in grain mustard & water to bring it back and slow roasted it for three hours. Gonna eat good tomorrow.

A long time and many jobs ago, I worked on the legal language that led to the state funding for the 4 new(er) stadiums in PA getting built — to replace Three Rivers in Pittsburgh and the Vet in Philly. Even then, folks knew the taxpayers were in for a good shafting. Later I helped the State of Michigan pay for part of Ford Field and part of Comerica Park and even later create an public authority to take Cobo away from the nearly bankrupt City of Detroit (they would file mere months later) in order to fund renovations to keep the Red Wings there. Squeezing public funds from a stone, but squeeze they did. I’ve now spent the last 15 years in the Bay Area congratulating Oakland for telling the failsons in charge of the Raiders and then the A’s to get fucked (mostly the A’s). I also watched the rich techies take the Warriors back to SF to hang out in the sadly silent Chase Center. So the lesson is that if you don’t cater to the plutocrats, you will lose your team. Simple as that. Worse, given the garbage they put up after spending the money for the fan experience (which I take to mean feeling ownership’s hand rummaging around in your pockets for all the rest of your money), I am tending to think Oakland got it right.

TL;dr. Late stage capitalism is now busy enshittifying sports stadia just like everything else.

So the USPS misdelivered a package yesterday – it was intended for the same-numbered house on a parallel street. Normally I’d have dropped it in the outgoing mail slot, but it felt like a pill bottle so I didn’t want it stuck in the return loop if it was something that was needed immediately. I brought it with me while walking the dog and by a happy coincidence the recipient was in his driveway, and he definitely didn’t look in the best of health, so I feel like I did a really good thing.

Now what kind of crime should I commit to restore balance to the universe?

So, earlier this year, my friends reminded me of my promise, that I have to get a tattoo if the bears ever win the super bowl.

When I pointed out that my college team was on the cusp on winning a national championship, they suggested I combine the two.

I came up with this, and it’s the ugliest fucking thing I’ve ever seen

Congrats on the tickets! You’ll get to heckle Brady in person!

I heard that Drake Maye’s wife is a baking influencer and Pats fans are getting kinda sassy talking about how Giselle never baked for them

That’s kinda silly. According to the pic above, she’s got something in the oven right now!

Comeuppance Report:

/Youngest boy’s girlfriend needs a physical/blood test done for her next step in a nursing program.

Context: Her controlling mother (she’s a nurse) has told her over and over again, “Don’t Rely On Anyone Else Except Your Family, because you’ll owe them!”

Update: The girlfriend is being jerked around by various people at the hospital where said testing is to be done despite her mother telling her that she would clear the way.

More Info: Girlfriend, very anxious at this point, tells wifey that she’s in a bad spot and needs this testing done.

Wifey: “Meet me at the hospital at 3 today.”

Outcome: All tests have been done, will be sent to the institution that asked for them.

Seeing this very sweet, somewhat naive girl (very) slowly realize that people outside her family care for her and want to help her without asking for anything in return has been heartening.

I don’t think the Dr. Mrs. understands that the reason I am so resistant to getting ahead of things and doing tomorrow’s chores today is that tomorrow she will think of more chores. So I’m better off maximizing my sloth time now.

One thing I love about luge and bobsled, other than every goddamn thing about them, is when someone gets off to a start, has a tiny wobble coming out of the first turn and both announcers say something like “ooooh, he’s not going to be able to overcome that; his Olympics are essentially over, and he has disgraced his country, his family, and himself.”

As someone who does a fair amount of cross-country skiing, the idea of being able to, without a moment’s rest after skiing at world-class speed, stand up, hold a rifle, and hit five targets the size of a quarter from 50 meters away is simply beyond my understanding. If I skied 5 miles you could give me a bazooka and point to a barn 50′ away and I’d be 50-50 to make the shot.

Tonight I’m carb loading in case I get called up to the Olympics. Penne with chicken,onions, carrots, sundried tomaters, and about half a jalapeno cuz I have some. I melted a container of garlic and herb Boursin in with some pasta water for a sauce. Garlic bread. It smells good in here. Gonna go hit my vape and ciao down. Mangia, bitches!

Just got back from a short but very pleasant hike. My friend who hates hiking said it was the first hike she’s ever enjoyed, so we’re going to try to make it a regular Sunday offseason thing and I’m going to curate hikes that she doesn’t hate while we work up to longer ones. Now it’s cheese time!

Cooking beef Birria and I think I’ll make blue corn tortillas for the tacos. It smells incredible in here right now, for a change.
Enjoy the game, cheese bags

I don’t know how it’s coming across on TV, but the halftime show is great.

Made it back to the hotel. Just a magnificent spectacle. Because they won it was totally worth the money. The fourth quarter totally made up for the boring previous three. Bad Bunny was a great time. The schedule works against them a bit next year, but it’s hard to bet against them returning. I can’t wait to BOTG this.

Love you all. Wish you were here for this, tWBS.

Beerguy out!
