Happy Gilmore 2 is a wonderful watch full of nostalgia and gags and a few touching sentimental moments sprinkled throughout. When so many movies now seem so "planned," it makes me miss those silly comedies of the 90s.

After almost 20 years, I'm ending this run at Microsoft as I look ahead to something new. Grateful for so much that made it great, but most of all: the people.

Every time you check in on the guy he’s doing something simply incredible. What a time to be watching baseball.
Two strikeouts in total for Jurrangelo Cijntje that inning. Touched 98.1 from the right side. Only threw two lefty pitches, but that's all he needed to get De Paula. Final pitch: 97 mph heater that blew by Joe Mack

For a little while, no one could get the game scoring going on Gamechanger, and I got to have a little bit of happy time watching the kiddo play ball and keeping score.

We experienced this yesterday. When blocked, it very politely stopped and beeped, and then graduated to a gentle siren prompting a confused “what’s going on oh it’s a robot wheelchair wanting me to get out of the way oh I should get out of it’s way oh isn’t that cool” reaction in 5 quick seconds.

RIP Rickey Henderson. Counting myself fortunate to see him throw out the first pitch at T-Mobile park to end the 2024 season, and the era of the Oakland A’s.

The line of cars parked under the no parking signs gets a grumpy old man noise from me every trip to the airport. Very optimistic now that “City officials have now installed a temporary ‘No Standing to Watch the No Parking Signs’ sign”

Fascinating breakdown of the correlation between sunsets, weather, whiff rate, and more at the place where baseball offense seems to die.
Players have been telling us for decades that it's hard to see the ball at T-Mobile Park. I think they're onto something.
My latest on sunlight, vision, and park factors in Seattle.
