I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, I wasn't eaten by zombies but I stopped hearing from Abel halfway through my run and the Mission doesn't register as complete. I am disappoint.

Oh, please. You want a sports grudge? DO YOU???

I have witnessed (and generally agreed with) most of the grudges mentioned above. I have fought unsuccessfully my ability to develop and hold a grudge for decades. Oh well, I am a work in progress. Recognizing it is an improvement, right?

I was just telling a beloved colleague last week that one of the reasons sports are so sacred to me is that it's one of the rare outlets in life where I can just be INSANE about whatever - grudges, DH, asshole players, perceived slights, and it doesn't matter.

In all other areas of my life I try to be reasonable, unbiased, nonjudgmental, open-minded, etc. But in my sports fandom I am absolutely none of these things. I froth at the mouth in fits of enraptured idiocy and self-righteousness and it's some of the largest fun I have. And none of it really matters. But all of it matters.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love going to Cubs/Brewers games for this reason--they're the only time I ever yell stupid insults at people.

Ahhhhh...yes, this. Completely this. Thank you for putting it into words.

Had my second to last karate class until April/May. Finally called my dad to let him know about the surgery and the move.

A great reason for sure. We love to see games if possible when traveling to get to see the best/worst of the locals. Good times.

How did it go?

"Resumed" the mission while I was making dinner, so I got to hear all the story stuff, and it appears that the app did record my actual run, so all is well for my zombie training.

Also, the salad I just had seems to have been enough food. I did not really expect that.

He was actually very supportive of both. He made a point to remind me not to purchase moving boxes. Which I don't want to do, but if needed, I will.

This snow, it's so cold, is the consistency of sand. But lighter. Which makes shoveling a completely frustrating endeavor. Brooms work and then the wind...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's a good example because almost nothing is of less consequence than a Cubs/Brewers game.
