- Feels like I say this every three years or so, but it's legitimately overwhelming how much exceptional young talent there is in Major League Baseball right now. And I'm glad to see it specifically in markets where they've been scuffling for a while (Pittsburgh, KC, Baltimore). MLB will never recapture its place in American sports fandom, but it feels like the game is on a growing trajectory. These playoffs should be bonkers.
- Speaking of baseball, on this date four years ago, Nick Castellanos hit a drive into deep left field.
- Not many more satisfying feelings as a parent than making sure their vehicle is properly maintained, especially before they head back off to school. Didn't especially enjoy dropping $$$ on new tires this morning, but the peace of mind as she heads out on Friday is more than worth it.
- Scott County High School and Great Crossing High School are both big, beautiful, new buildings (SC brand-new, GC only a few years old). They look great. We, on the other hand, are getting a new HS that is opening after Winter Break for some reason, and it looks like it was designed on Minecraft. Ridiculous.
- Bought myself Ryan Holiday's new book. Whether it's his X account or his actual books, few authors produce more fascinating stuff. He's infinitely readable.
- Older.
