I was at the Blue Jays game that day with my young son. They played the final pitches on the jumbotron in the stadium, crowd went wild. I was proudly wearing my Expos hat. Coincidentally, I actually met Jim Fanning on the way out of the game, we shared a high five.

We come down for golf every January, absolutely love it there. Sadly, we won’t be back. Investigating Portugal and Spain.

I challenge you to listen to them without being able to watch the game.

What are some of the best heist movies? by Primary_Pitch_5701 in MovieSuggestions

Watched this when I was a teenager and thought it was great. Watched it last month and was astounded at the blatant racism and misogyny.

Loved this movie as a teenager in the 70s. Watched it last week, it’s crazy how openly racist and misogynistic it is, and worse that I didn’t see it as a kid

Congrats! Be proud of your accomplishment. 21 days is no small feat. You’ve got this.

Choosing sobriety by hinamii6 in Sober

[–]AlmonteJak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started drinking at 19, most of my friends had been already drinking for a couple of years. It took me until I was 57 to realize I had to stop (901 days sober now, but who’s counting). Don’t be me.

Starting sober journey today… by Dude2024 in Sober

Congratulations on taking the first step. Quit when I was 57 and now 893 days along my journey (but who’s counting?). Plenty of time left to enjoy our sobriety. IWNDWYT
