This has been a long ass workday. But I’ll be damned AND may Gamblor forsake me: I’ll post this about 30 minutes by the deadline. A Puerto Rican 30 minutes, K? This is an isolated event, we'll crush stereotypes at a later date. I have to get back to work. If you

Yes, it’s filing time in the USA, though not in Puerto Rico. Last week’s blackout made the PR deadline move to next Monday. That’s fair. You roll with the punches. But it also reminded me of a brilliant boss I had. That boss used to say that a democratic government could

A handsome but kinda off figure sits at the laptop, although less pudgy than before because he’s wearing a shirt that by last Xmas fit fine until you sat down and bent forward because the buttons tightened and OK that’s enough scene setting. He types:   Complacency is the enemy inside. Overall,

The NCAAs start later this week, but today is all about NFL free agency. Enough ados. The Bengals—the Bengals!—have been wheelin’ and dealin’ DT B.J. Hill (“3” years) OL Ted Karras (“3” years) OG Alex Kappa (from Bucs, “4” years) The quotes are not a bit. Remember: except for QBs, NFL contracts fall

I must have been in a morose daze these last coupla weeks because I failed to realize that the pandemic ended. The NFL dropped all Covid protocols, and mask mandates are on the outs seemingly everywhere (source: seemingly, K?). Here in Puerto Rico, where we’ve had strict measures since 03/20, it

How Do You Sleep at Night? – 2022 Presidents’ Day Open Thread

If you, anyone, lives in Puerto Rico, you can’t vote for the U.S. President--the President of here as well. It does get awkward for boricuas to celebrate Presidents’ Day, although not as much as U.S. Independence Day. So instead of woke musings, I rather concentrate on what Presidents’ Day does
