Most of the time we were in Rio Nuevo, Jamaica last Feb during Bob Marley’s birthday week, it was too windy for the short boat ride out to the Couples Tower Isle Nude Beach. Seems like the area is about to be hit by #HurricaneMelissa. I hope the island is spared significant damage from the storm.
One of the great things about YouTube is the reaction video. This is among the best. Although he clearly is restraining himself, watch how Nick is blown away by this performance. As I’ve said before, it’s the most beautiful duet I’ve ever heard.

I’m guessing FELOTUS can’t figure out if Norway or Sweden is responsible for him losing out, so he’ll slam 80% tariffs on both of them!
I was kind of hoping the second replay review on Kelly would have been overturned. Because, in one at bat, he would’ve homered, grounded out, and singled! #Cubs #NLDS
My guess is his role as manager of Puerto Rico in the 2026 WBC could be a factor in any agreement Molina could reach with the #stlcards.

Uhm, a Tiger lefty wearing #29 striking out 14 batters in a postseason game? Is he like Lolich and Gibson combined?
