I love a gas cooktop, but prefer an electric oven. My dream kitchen has a gas cooktop with a grill and a hood that vents to the outside and two electric wall ovens.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When my parents redid their kitchen a while ago (when we moved into the house, the kitchen was about 8x8 feet, if that), they had a gas stove and electric oven put in. That's where I mostly learned to cook, so it's what seems right to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is something like her sixth Olympics.
Yeah, that's bonkers. They were just saying how most of the girls only get one.

Holy crap, that vaulter is 37. (The German originally from Uzbekistan, I mean.)
Technically originally from the USSR! She's like super human and her story is incredible.

If you haven't, all of you should read Chris Cleave's book Gold, which is about three Olympians, two of whom are married and raising a child who has cancer.

And now the other thing we were talking about at dinner: How bronze winners are more satisfied than silver, because people who get the silver just think about how close they were to gold. People who get bronze think about how close they were to nothing.

Interesting. And probably right on.

There was a study, apparently.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
There was a story on NPR, yeah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I suspect part of the reason I'm not winning any medals anywhere is how satisfied I'd be with silver. That is not the kind of mindset that gets you to second best in the world.
Jesse, I doubt I can afford to not go in tomorrow. I will have to defend my (totally defensible!) position of doing that rollout task this weekend. It will be simpler to do face to face.
