That sucks.

I wish. That would be awesome.

RIP to a great man. John Dobson single handedly revolutionized backyard astronomy by making it much more accessible to average people. After my first scope (a classic orange C8) I owned a succession of Dobsonians. I still have my 6" Hardin.

I Antimatter too.

About 1/2 way through it. It's really really good so far.

Holy crap Frank. Wow.

^^^ Loved that, tyvm!

Or Alshon Jefferey. jfc.

Just Finished: Just Started:

Again.

I used to play a lot when I was a kid. i was pretty good. Belonged to a few chess clubs. I actually still have my old electronic chess game that I begged for for Christmas when I was 10 or 11 years old. Still works too. I beat it on Level 7 once.

Coming into the last week of the regular season and here is my go at the playoff scenario: Bryan: has the #1 seed locked up. Congrats, nice kick-ass regular season! Todd: has the #2 seed locked up. Congrats! Brent: controls own destiny: Locks up #3 seed with a win OR losses by Tracy & Frank Still gets #3 with a loss and wins by Tracy & Frank as long as: Tracy does not outscore him by 52 points or Frank outscores him by 136 points (pretty much has #3 locked up, congrats!) Tracy: Controls own destiny: #4 seed with win OR Frank loss (as long as Frank does not outscore me by 84 points) Frank: #4 Seed with win AND Tracy loss. #4 Seed with win OR Tracy loss if outscores Tracy by 84 points. Haj: #4 Seed with win AND losses by Tracy and Frank AND outscores Tracy by 62 points AND is not outscored by Frank by more than 23 points. I think that's right anyway. Edit: I just noticed that the regular season finale match-up certainly favors Frank (vs 0-12 Tyler), while I am up against 9-3 Todd. I best bring it next week!

Sword & Sorcery o-rama...

I have been making a Green Smoothie in my Vitamix just about every morning. My standard recipe: Qty's are estimated: couple handfuls of grapes, large handful of spinach, etc... 1 cup grapes 1 Apple 2 or 3 pitted Medjool dates 2 cups baby spinach (sometimes mixed with kale) slice of lemon or lime w/ peel sprig of fresh mint 1 tray ice Delicious, nutritious, refreshing.

Pulpy goodness.

This has the Oats in the Water song that was on The Walking Dead episode last week. Good stuff.

Good battle brewing with 5 teams vying for the last 2 playoff spots. Some key match-ups in the next few weeks. Fun stuff!

My last bunch of books. Warded Man was my 50th book read this year.

I realized last night my 5th would definitely be Crime of the Century.

The only real question for me is what gets #5 after Animals, WYWH, The Wall & DSOM. Maybe Aqualung or Let it Bleed, idk. I could just as easily make it The Final Cut and go for the clean sweep.

Groupon has the Nook Simple Touch Glow for $72.99 w/ free shipping for 2 more days. I've had one for awhile (paid almost twice that for it) and love it so I got one for my wife. It's basically like the kindle paperwight but runs ePub instead of mobi format and comes with a micro SD slot in case you're some crazy person that lines to carry around 1623 books with them. Or something.

Go Dodgers!
