That’s gonna change the rankings. Does this mean we go to the Rose bowl? For the record I adored my time at IU. Wish I were at Nick’s right now! Protect the dolphins! When IU won the NCAA basketball championship in 87 the kids ripped up Showalter Fountain

Old school Twitter was much more compelling. Bella Is not well. But hi to Buster any way.

I am in the book too. The expression on my toddler face is my essence.

LMAO. Sibs indeed! My cousin Pat (fellow in 3 piece suit) is the family genealogist. Sent me a self published book of our family history. My mother is going to haunt him for all time. In the chapter called Hazel Brown’s 90th birthday, he’s labeled her as coffee server. LOL. She threw the party,

And finally Oregon stuck it to USC 42-27. The CA cousins are big ‘SC’ fans. No one went there. Yet they travel all over to watch them play. Notre Dame this year. There will be gloating. Just waiting for them to wakeup

NY has Hobart and William Smith another gorgeous lakeside school. Apparently there is a Geneva PA. News to me. Indiana and Mississippi were both off. Meaning that Ohio State’s win most likely knocked IU outta first place of the B1G Double drat.

sure THAT was completely safe: new drivers on a road trip for alcohol late at night. Speaking of the Chicago burbs, Brockport beat Geneva college 46-10. Geneva who? My Illinois self was one town over from Geneva and my NY self is 90 minutes from Geneva. How have I never heard of this school? Geneva

I was 6. My mom was at O’Hare picking up my uncle on his way from DC to LA. They heard static Kennedy static and went looking for JFK in the terminal. I was appalled that they had a parade when the president was dead. Also why were my cartoons pre-empted? I think I saw Oswald murdered on live TV*

My buddy Watson came to visit with his Mom yesterday. He snuck upstairs to play with my stuffed animals. The @warmiesofficial.bsky.social people should know he preferred theirs. He goobered all over Pritzker who is a little traumatized. Later he was sick. Maybe the lavender?

Yay! About two years after starting my own personal little library at work, it’s being used by a reader. They took some of my good books and left behind books I want to read
