My favorite experiences are those where I'm just in such awe that the pressure's off -- nope, couldn't ever do that, no need to try. @evanbirnholz.bsky.social's construction today is firmly in that class.

Congrats to Matt Campbell, who was a legend for Iowa State. My hoping that he never wins another game against anyone but Michigan has nothing to do with him and everything to do with the institution to which he's headed.

Just saw someone who's living on the street lifting weights. Has a cart he's pulling around with his possessions and some dumbbells. Just because you're a person who's lost nearly everything doesn't mean you can't make massive gainz. #miami

Hadn't been to Dodger Stadium in 12 years. Definitely not my favorite, but a trip worth making (and it's surprisingly walkable from Chinatown even if they don't have a proper entrance for you to walk up).

Angels made me feel right at home by losing by nine through offensive futility (leadoff triple? Don't worry, he's not going anywhere) and breathtaking defensive incompetence (4 errors and the worst defensive play wasn't an error). Sammy Peralta pitched well, not that the scoreline will show it.

Convenient to be in LA for a day where I was temporarily a Chargers fan anyway. Hopefully KC can miss the playoffs so Andy Reid's kids don't have to kill again.

My hotel is on the other side of the parked train. Then the train moved and parked again. 4 hours in Los Angeles has made me less afraid of earthquakes, because I know nothing here moves.

Lukenbach, Texas is playing at Frogtown Brewery. I wouldn't have even thought it possible that there would be a song I hadn't heard for 40 years, yet would hear again...I stand corrected. Also, they have a cat.

I hope that there is a day in the near future where law students will discuss the remedies decision in United States v Google in the same breath as Dred Scott and Lochner v. New York.

I've read several articles about the growing number of people who don't drink. But then I boarded my flight and ended up in the Delta Sky Club in MSP. Guess the news hadn't gotten to the Midwest yet.

Though I miss CBP generally, I feel particularly robbed that I'm not in the outfield for every game Kepler plays yelling "Hey Max, if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking German!"

Seeing P.J. Poulin have a scoreless debut at age 29 almost offsets the horrors of everything else about that Nationals game. In the team's first 55 seasons, the Expos/Nationals gave up 24 hits once. The Washington Trashionals have now done it twice in four days.

For seven days, I had a second cat; I fell hard for Jet. He was sweet, cuddly, purry, and up to the last day, put me in a good mood. But he would not eat or take medicine. It's embarrassing how much I loved this cat who gave me about 6 stress-free hours in the week I had him. But I wasn't wrong.
