Anyone around tonight? I just poured some wine and have been following along in the NYT on the 1st hour's awards.

This is a much nicer story about the team than the other story I read today... Although I suppose this one could work out well if it results in a new owner. https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/lawsuit-alleges-son-of-peter-angelos-sought-to-wrest-control-of-orioles-from-brother

Every time I think I can't love Jon more, I'm proven wrong. I love Jon.

Muppet Show cold open - brilliant!

How I Learned to Drive and Anyone Can Whistle. I think I read your thoughts on Girl and the other shows I'm not really interested in. Not that that should stop you from sharing. I love reading your reviews.

"We May Never Pass This Way Again" was our high school senior prom theme (or maybe it was our graduation them - one of those...it was a loooong time ago). RIP and thanks for the (vague) memories.

And...he's back! Yay!!!!!

I thought this was really well done. I was especially impressed with the causes that Julia endorsed and how she could look at a situation, assess it rationally, and change her point of view when it became obvious that her point of view needed changing. The cooking was pretty good, too.

I can't really argue with much of that list. Although I don't think Angels stadium should be that low - I'd definitely put it ahead of Cincinnati and a few others. I haven't been to the new parks in San Diego or St Louis and I won't be going to Atlanta (unless I get in for free). I'd like to go back to Kansas City since, even though it' the same building, it's allegedly been totally renovated inside since 1998. I do love PNC Park.

Amy's piece at the NRA convention this week was spot on.

I wasn't listening closely (it was on CNBC after all, and who really listens closely...), but there was a reporter at the Walmart annual meeting thing and she said Jon was performing there. So yeah, it's Walmart and all, but that means he's okay! Yay!!

My team is on AppleTV tonight. I'm trying to decide whether to sign in (I don't own a single Apple produce, but I did have an iTunes account and the website says that should work). I'll probably get the 4 free months from Target so I can watch Ted Lasso and Smigadoon. Probably.

I just watched the Mike Myers episode. And I have to give a major shout-out to the untuckit parody commercial. I haaaaaaate those commercials so much (because the product is so stupid!!!) and Stephen captured it so perfectly.

Patti LuPone is a national treasure. As is Stephen Sondheim.

I pretty much agree with this, although I thought Lounge and 9-5 were just okay. Overall, a strong finale and nice send-off to Kate and Aidy (and Kyle and Pete). I also enjoyed Japanese Breakfast. I've heard her a few times interviewed on NPR, but this is the first time I've seen her perform. And, as always, thanks @Galileo908for your amazing recaps every week! Have a great summer everyone!!

Vote. Because stupid people vote, too. Funny...and scary and true...

If anyone in the greater Baltimore-DC area wants to go to the Os game Sunday afternoon, I have 4 tickets and great parking. Let me know and they're yours for the low, low price of nothing! Because what better way is there to spend a hot Sunday afternoon?? (I'm not selling that very well, am I...)

I can't believe you're begrudging me one afternoon of happiness! 😄 I was listening at work on the XM app, which is at least an entire half inning behind real life. And my phone alerts went off...but I didn't look. Just so I could enjoy the end! And I did!!

The ballpark is okay. I didn't go to the zoo. And (nothing personal, anyone from Cincinnati) I'm not sure why the city is there at all. There's really nothing going on, including nightlife. I've been there twice (for 2 ballparks - the new one is definitely better, but still just okay) and I'm not sure why the city exists.

We're only staying for the first game. Oh, you weren't talking about my team... 😄 Also, Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate!

I'd love "is potato"! Unfortunately, it's the one underneath.

A pretzel. I hate pretzels. Although I suppose it's better than the toilet paper... (sorry @ABay) I was hoping for the booze... I'll keep trying.

If I ate crab, I'd probably agree with this - I've heard it's very good. Honestly, they are correct about most of the food being pretty damn good - inside and outside the stadium. Then there's the team...

CNN+ - we hardly knew ya! https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/21/business/cnn-plus-shutting-down.html That was quick.

This was the one I thought was so dumb that I couldn't stop laughing.
