Just walked to the pharmacy. Very cold out, but I got there and back before the winds come.
Weird thing about #ms - the cold makes my muscles tighten, but heat just paralyzes me.
I’ll take the cold…

Bayern Munich struggled to connect passes today, but survive and move on in the DFB-Pokal with a 3-2 win…
Any chance we can host a game sometime? Maybe?

The Rockin’ Xmas station on Sirius has been pretty good!
In one and a half hours, I think I’ve heard many of my top 10 rock Xmas tunes… that’s impressive

Thanksgiving has always included Riesling for me. I thank my Dad for that.
These days, I incorporate it throughout the holiday weekend with a light Riesling during the afternoon, a heavier one for the meal, and one for the leftovers.
Wine is as important as the turkey :)

It’s interesting seeing Trocheck - a former Canes player - talk about how their number of shots on goal is often misleading…

It’s hard to fathom why so many articles about the Affordable Care Act fail to mention how one of its greatest attributes is providing health care options for people who have pre-existing conditions…
That’s a big reason why it hasn’t been replaced.
And why it’ll be hard to do.

This was only a friendly, but the game was without 4-5 of the best USA players.

It’s been said that Epstein had about 20 phone numbers for trump.
Just curious… but why does anyone have 20 phone numbers?
What kind of weird shit did he need these phones for?
Has any journalist looked into that?

Win and you’re in…
Germany looked like the German teams of the past in an utterly dominating win to qualify for the World Cup.
All smiles here in Belmar.
Well done, lads. :)

I can only imagine how many #nyr fans were screaming at their tv sets like I was tonight at the team’s awful passes.
Awful from the beginning to the very end.
Not one guy or two… but everyone.
They should all apologize to Quickie.
They wasted a tremendous game by him.

We can say until we're blue in the face that we fully understand how fucking ridiculous our country is going to look, in retrospect, fifty years from now, but I'm here to tell you that the degree to which America in the first third of this century is an embarrassment to all of humanity is *shocking*

I never expected to sweat out a WCQ against Luxembourg, but that’s what happened. Anything is possible with qualifiers…
Germany pulled out the 2-0 win on the road, but it was anything but comfortable.
Woltemade’s brace saved us.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to keep writing and posting stories.
Too many people on social media can’t seem to grasp clicking on the article provides more information…
They post questions that are always answered in the articles. Ugh.

It never fails to amaze me that trump supporters swear he can’t be part of the Epstein Files because Biden would have made them public if he was…
Meanwhile Biden’s DOJ had evidence tying trump to a life in prison and they couldn’t get the cases to court.
I hope Jack Smith gets to talk.
