That was a perfect microcosm of the Eagles season in one play.
Interception - Fumble - Fumble
NO! - Yes - Noooooo!

9 y.o. son and I watching the broadcast together (all the schools here in the DMV closed for “snow”).

Him: Is that the singer who sings That Thing? I know that song!

Me: I have unlocked another parenting achievement.

Except that is also already the “picks up” gesture for the UTEP miners.

Most of the Texas schools have some sort of hand gesture.

Have you done: emergency kit/gear for a field player who has to play goalkeeper? Is there a super secret contingency for that similar to the blood kit?

The halftime drum circle and the walk through the tunnel to get to Lot 8 after a win were magical DC United acoustic experiences at RFK.

Today at Audi was equally magical.

I need to know the distance from home plate to the soccer goal.

My decision to cancel my season tickets after 17 seasons is looking better by the day.

This decision making right here is exactly why I cancelled my season tickets after having them for 17 seasons. There is no positive path forward. No thinking that they have to get better.

And where you build the playground matters.

Parks in high need neighborhoods with playgrounds (as defined by the KABOOM! Playground Inequity Prioritization Index) get over 9,000 more visitors per year when compared to parks in typical neighborhoods.

Who builds the playground matters - playgrounds built in partnership with KABOOM! get 25,000 more visitors per year.

The age of the game playground matters. As you would expect, newer playgrounds get more visitors to parks than older playgrounds.

Every year of playground age results in about 600 visitors a year.

I do like the idea of coin tests. Easy for people to understand, and I can even play around with it during an in-person presentation setting. Or I can get audience members to flip their own coins and talk about probabilities of unlikely events.

Big caveat first: I grew up in Texas.

Frito pie = Fritos

Walking taco = Frito pie in a bag. So Fritos.

Walking nachos = tortilla chips with toppings in a bag. Doritos are flavored tortilla chips. What you are describing are walking nachos using Doritos.

Regional differences may apply.

One of my earliest memories as a kid growing up in EP is my grandmother taking slices off a giant block of Muenster to make me quesadillas. I left the borderland over 30 years ago, and I STILL buy Muenster for snacking.

And she hit her head / face on the grass! Third head injury for her in this game alone? They need to upgrade her to first class for the flight back.
