So, I've been a tax accountant for 34 years until this year. All this time I've been unable to go to Spring training because of tax season. My plan, this year, was to keep it simple. Drive down there and camp out of the back of my truck at some campground, truck stop, or rest area and attend a game ...

When a player loses, their negative emotions take over and exaggerate the situation. Same thing happened with Caitlin Clark a week or two ago. When she got hit by a fan storming the court, she rolled on the floor like a Premier League soccer player.

I didn't fully understand the gravity of this at my age but I'm happy to say I watched it 44 years ago https://twitter.com/dhookstead/status/1760683416004260312?s=20 It was awesome even though tape delayed. Word got around they won before the telecast that night, even without social media. Some say...

Do you just cut and paste this from the previous years’ posts?

The next Bill Gates/Steve Jobs. Lucky to have some stock in this. Wish I had more

amusement parks and beaches

I've gone on mountain vacations every year for the past 12 years or so


Going on a weekend getaway in Bryson City a few weeks from now

You’re getting into my ‘neck of the woods. It will be chilly, but no crowds this time of year.

You still have those naked ones right?

I sneak them out every night

I'm just glad my Disney vacations are long in the past. Had to go three times total in my life because of the spacing of the kids' ages. Like Jim Gaffigan says, the best ride at Disney is on the bus leaving the park.

I wish we could only remember you through pictures.
