the addition of Andrew Kittredge does a fair bit to move the needle toward my having a favorable view of the Orioles offseason. but that Ace is so desperately needed that I’d hate for all these other good moves to feel like a half measure

for their full-throated backing of Thomas Partey through the last two-three years, I hope Arsenal never win another piece of silverware in my lifetime

for yesterday’s snow day I hit a Hundreds of Beavers / The Gold Rush double feature, which was not only glorious but also puts me at a crossroads as to whether I’d like to have a Fur Trapper Winter or a Gold Prospector Winter

lots of snow in MD. if I don’t get much reading done today then I don’t imagine it’ll be much of a reading week at all

last year when the Orioles crashed out on Kimbrel I thought, “surely they’ve learned their lesson on taking gambles on waning veterans instead of spending proper money on a team that needs it.”
how naive that thought was…

hoping to read (at least) one Larry McMurtry novel a month this year, including all of the Houston and Lonesome Dove novels. read Pretty Boy Floyd last year and loved it so I can only imagine how good it’ll be with the added scope and scale.

Jumping from a jazz-prodigy past to a slot on Mac DeMarco’s label, the L.A. bassist and songwriter channels his myriad influences into a loosey-goosey, feel-good universe of all-American pop

I like the Horwitz trade for the Pirates. finally, a long-term plan for a position that’s been a real pain in the ass for the last few years. 125 OPS+ should look good over a whole season and there is only room to develop

I always get crazy envious of all these LA / Chicago / NY types who get to regularly see Frederick Wiseman films on the big screen. need the AFI Silver here in DC to step up to the plate in that regard
