I'm doing fine, Kevin, thanks. Hope you are too! I hope when I die someone writes as thoughtful and warm an obit about me as you wrote about your friend.

The reality of Manzanar was harsh and horrible, but a spectacular lineup of SABR authors' retelling of its tales is truly a labor of love and hope. The new website and book offer powerful glimpses into the way things were. Now more than ever, we must remain vigilant so they're never that way again.

And she was great in "The Wizard of Oz" too. In all seriousness, Margaret Hamilton the scientist was an early leader in the field of computer sciences. She headed up the software engineering lab at MIT and played an integral role in NASA moon missions that put US cybertechnology on the map. RIP

You give him full measure of your own writing talents in the obituary you wrote for him, Kevin. Condolences on the loss of your friend and supporter.

Or for someone who has to be near, but doesn't want to be, a person who stinks of too many improperly digested Big Macs combined with the stench of rotten impacted feces clinging crustily to his buttcrack

Fancy speaks for me, loud and clear

My clear favorite!

There's something so genuine and charming about Zohran Mamdani, and then he goes ahead and actually fulfills campaign promises to boot! He's truly a People's Mayor with the spine to both stand up to Trump AND romance him, and his quick wit has endeared him to New Yorkers in just a few short months.

Hi Kurt. The first book of yours I read was "Heyday;" you signed a copy for me at the home of Judy Tobias Davis many years ago. I met your author wife Anne Kreamer at the same gathering, and it was her book about going grey that convinced me to ditch the red hair dye I'd been using and go natural!

Sending love to Trouble, remembering Missy ❤️💔

Those bros are "influencers"? Who in their right mind would allow themselves to be "influenced" by either of them? I think the title of "influencer" should be eliminated from the lexicon. EVERYONE is an influencer; some are just more influential than others. These dudes? No thank you.

lol sure, if I want a SWAT team to show up at my apartment and haul me off for attempted bribery

This is a meaningless game with no impact on the standings, so if the game is called before it's complete, which should be in just a few more minutes, it won't be replayed or continued because it's a season-ender and cannot be rescheduled immediately as the rules demand. So it COULD end in a tie?

Depends on the scenario, Michael, and I was trained in a different era when the rules were different, so here's a copy-and-paste of the relevant section of the Official Baseball Rules that pertains to your question, Maybe after you finish reading it you can tell ME what will happen!

An interesting possible scenario developing because of the threat of rain: will the game be called before it's "complete" so Lindor's 300th home run won't count? (It's in only the top of the fourth - late start, slow game) Keep the game going, Jen; it's your call!

But but but what about Rabbit Maranville?

I rather like that one myself 😎
