I got rid of my tickets for today because I'm not leaving the house at 9am on a Sunday to go to a game. So there! Also, yes to in-game interviews and Rod Manfred sucking. However, I'm pleasantly surprised at the Roku broadcast...probably because it's mostly our guys doing it 😄

I have a coffee mug with that on it. Which totally does not belong in this thread, but it's here now.

She was interviewed by Susan Stamburg at the National Building Museum about 8 (?) years ago in connection to her doll house collection. (I know - I was surprised, too!) My sister loved doll houses, so we went and it was a lovely event and interesting exhibition.

They did.

I really hated them at first when they were wearing black pants because they looked like pajamas. They're not so bad with the white pants.

Chris Coones (minus the e) from Delaware. This site has auto censors that hide words that can be used as slurs.

Oh no! I really hope Seth doesn't get it. He's the only late night host not making me throw things at the TV at the moment.

That's good since those are the only things I watch on the network.

I love this commercial and I'm not sure why. But it's fun.

I admit it was kinda fun there at the end, watching our backup catcher pitching - again.

No matter how many runs the As score, it only counts as one loss. I keep telling myself this. It's not helping.

Also on Comcast.

A couple people talked about it in the Mondays with Jon thread.

I also did not watch the debate (Mr. ebk was watching, so I went to clean out my closet and watch baseball). I almost didn't watch Jon because he's been annoying me greatly, but I did watch - and he didn't piss me off! I did laugh, and I quite enjoyed the guest. Small pleasures. And a slightly less cluttered closet!

We saw Martin Mull open for Liza Minnelli in Baltimore waaaaay back in 1970 (1972?). We were too young (and dumb) to really appreciate his humor, especially since all we wanted was Liza. We got smarter years later. RIP

Is this what you were going for?

We watched on off-days, or on evenings after a day game 😉

I am so sorry @mojoween! I will miss Mookie Wilson (and I'm not even that fond of cats...mostly because I'm allergic. Mostly. But how can I not love a cat named after a baseball player.) My heart is with you.

When I was going in to the office, I ironed every day. But since I've retired (yay!!!!!!!!), I don't think I've picked up the iron once. I don't mind doing it, I just have no reason to at the moment.

We are beginning to dig out all of the "stuff" in our house and Mr. ebk found an "extra" ironing board. I'd offer to send it, but I think it would be somewhat more expensive than contact lens solution... 😉 Good luck!

It was filmed for PBS's Great Performances about 10 years ago. Don't know if it's available anywhere now. I saw this in NY. I thought she was really wrong for the part, although she gave a good performance. He just didn't seem into it. As for Cats (on stage), we love it - it paid for our house 😄

I was watching "Sleepless in Seattle" last night (after very many years of not seeing it) and the voice of the call-in show that Jonah calls to start the whole plot in motion sounded very familiar - it's Caroline Aaron who plays Pete's wife. I actually saw her last weekend on stage in "Bye Bye Birdie" at the Kennedy Center. She's good. Also, Utkarsh Ambudkar hosted part of the Tonys last weekend.

We watched this over the past couple of days. I know the music, but I had no idea about the history of the company and all the shit they had to deal with. I thought it was really well done, highlighting the musicians, along with the engineers, office staff, and owners/management. A fascinating story that ended all too infuriatingly. I didn't expect to be depressed when it was over, but I'm so glad I saw it. I'll be looking more deeply into the story. I did wish they'd spotlighted the Staple Singers/Mavis Staples more, if only because she's a goddess.

Well, that was a totally sucky weekend.

Put on some Jon Batiste music. Always fun! And in case this helps somehow, I'm not having much fun now either.
