Can I just mention how hilarious I think it is that NBC was using "Old Man" to advertise tonight's game? Because I think it's hilarious.

Os will be over .500 this season - yay! So much different than I thought this year would be.

Cold open was fabulous. The monologue was also wonderful - Miles Teller really does look like Peyton Manning AND Rachel Maddow!! And WU was great. The rest - eh. Wasn't really feeling most of it. But, that makes it all very familiar... and it's good to see (read) everyone again!!

That was hilarious. I sure hope they can keep it up.

Hope you enjoyed the party because the game sucked. 😉

Dave is on Jimmy Kimmel right now. Harry is in college. How does that happen???? I'm so...old...

I'm heading to NY for a short trip tomorrow and thought since Phantom has Thursday matinees (and there are discounts!), maybe I'd go. Then I realized that I'd managed to see it only once (in London, about a week after it opened back in the Stone Age) and if I'd wanted to see it again, I certainly could have. But I didn't. So I won't. (And it's Norm Lewis, not MacDonald. Although Norm MacDonald would have been an interesting casting choice...)

I'm sure there a few more "fucks" thrown around. (I actually had to google that game since I had no memory whatsoever of that night... honestly, why would I? 😄 )

Last game for us today. Until postseason, that is. Hahahahahahahahaha

So, how about those Terps?? (I have to say this now, before it gets out of hand...which I'm sure it will)

I gotta say there have been some really exciting endings to games today - not always the right ending, but exciting nonetheless.

But that's not gonna stop me from trying! 😄 I'm unreasonably upset about this game and I don't know why because I vowed not to be unreasonable upset about football this year.

Thank you for watching and reporting so I didn't have to. (Also, since the game didn't exactly go my way, I'm doubly glad I didn't bother)

Jean Smart looks fabulous.

And the Emmys keep up the horrible tradition of focusing on the person singing the song and not the folks they are paying tribute to. I have a 55 inch TV and if I don't get up and stand right in front of it, I can't read any of the names on the screen... so frustrating.

Does the venue look really dark to anyone else/ It's really hard to see people - although it might just be my old eyes.

I don't know if you know about this, but he did a semi-staged "Company" a while ago that I thought was wonderful.

Endea mentioned last night that she and her band did a Tiny Desk Concert, so I watched it today. They're terrific!

I hate night life. I didn't dislike Cincinnati, I just didn't find anything compelling there, tourist-wise or food-wise. I wouldn't object to ever visiting again, and maybe checking out the Underground Railroad Freedom Center (which I either didn't realize was there, or it wasn't open when we were there), but I wouldn't make a point of going back. We travel to visit ballparks (been to all of them that were open when we started, and just need to go back to 4 cities for new ones), and we saw both Cincinnati stadiums, so not sure it will be a future destination. I'm truly sorry if I offended you (and anyone else). Like I said, I don't dislike the city.

The ballpark in Pittsburgh is worth the trip - go see a game, any game! And Pittsburgh is fun!! Cincinnati, OTOH... the stadium is fine, but I'm not sure why Cincinnati exists. (Nothing personal to anyone from Cincinnati).

If anyone is interested, MTV's YouTube channel is live-streaming the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert from Wembley.

Okay - I don't know who Timmy Trumpet is (really??) and I've never paid attention to Diaz's walkout song (if I've ever actually watched a Mets game this year), but I do understand how fabulous this is and I almost wish I was there! Almost...

The hospital where my sister was being treated for cancer had a deal with Lyft to transport people to and from appointments. Not sure if that would hold true for procedures where you need a relative or friend, but for regular stuff, if was great. Maybe the hospital (or doctor's office) would know about this for anyone who needs transportation.

I, um, drive myself home after those appointments (which I have twice a year). So far, no problems.

Honestly, the only good thing about that stadium is the beer selection. And let's face it, the team sucks. At least when the Os suck (most of the time-I know they're going to try to get more money from me next year), the stadium is a pleasant place to spend some time. So we have that going for us.
