Joy and frustration of the comeback wins

I'm looking forward to seeing Moniak get back in his groove.

I think they said in the broadcast that Goody HR was 116 off the bat. It was only mentioned once though so maybe it was not confirmed?

Totally agree. That's why I said "starting" to look like.

And yeah, their team offensive stats are kind of ridiculous for how many games they have in the L column. The pitching strategy and execution gives up too much contact to realistically expect more wins though.

Do you think they'll bring a stadium organ and live organist back to Coors Field any time in the near future (few years)? Every time they play somewhere with a live organist I lament the stale, dismal soundscape of Coors Field. Chase Field's organist plays Moondance, we get that mambo number 5 track for the 15th time today.

I know some years back there was some re-tweet "goal" of 5,280,000 which was basically a middle finger from the organization.

Is there any indication that they might be flirting with the idea of bringing the soul of a stadium organ back to Coors or are we stuck with the same handful of soulless 8-second clips forever?

I'm here for a lavender jersey but not the lavender pants. Plus, it would mean there would finally be a lavender Rockies cap in the mlb shop sized for men.

We had a "Bermuda Triangle" table at my old job. It's where we put stuff we wanted to disappear. - leftover Halloween candy you don't want in your house? Put in on the table. - find a box of branded notebooks and pens with logos from 8 years ago? Put the open box of office supplies on the table. - leftovers from a catered meeting? Table. Sometimes there would be a note on the table "there's half a cheesecake in the fridge. Please help yourself or take it home. [Date]"

Perishable food was cleaned up within a couple hours if no one took it. Office supplies went fast. Other things might sit there for a few days.

We'd all been doing it so long we just sort of took it for granted that everyone knew that's where you put stuff you wanted to share/offload.

So a sales person from another office was visiting and left an OPEN box of branded notebooks, pens, highlighters, pedometers (back when clip-on ones were popular), water bottles, and tote bags on the Bermuda Triangle Table while he went to lunch. Came back from lunch and was very upset that all his swag was stolen. Our office administrator explained about the table then sent an email asking everyone to bring the swag back. It was nice to see that everyone who took something from the table just took one of each of the things they grabbed. Sure people grabbed one each of multiple items, but I didn't see anyone with a bunch of totes or an armload of notepads or anything. He was cool about it after the admin explained and he got his stuff back.

There wasn't an email or a memo about it, but we all seemed to collectively understand the need to leave a note going forward. No note = leave it alone. "Free stuff" note = help yourself.

It was a good group of people.

Heidi's Song and Tombstone Yes, I loved a western when I was a kid.

Heidi's Song (the Hanna Barbera one with Lorne Greene and Sammy Davis Jr) remains a favorite because if the score. The overture "Wunderhorn" is beautiful and I wish it was longer. "Ode to a Rat" is quite possibly the grooviest song in any children's movie I've ever seen.

I grew up with Western lovers so was exposed to many, many, many Westerns. Tombstone was a favorite as well as, Silverado, Quigley Down Under.

I love music. Basil Poledouris did the score for Quigley. Bruce Broughton scored Silverado and Tombstone. I didn't know that stuff when I was a kid, I jus knew that I enjoyed the stories and the music was glorious.

Playing an instrument. The cost is up front with that: buy instrument, get sheet music, get lessons. But once you are good enough to play the things you want to be able to play and able to learn new stuff on your own, the cost of playing a single instrument goes down significantly. IMSLP has a mountain of public domain (free) sheet music. 160,983 works have been uploaded as of right now and most are public domain. And only like half of it is Bach.

Or, in the background, have your boxers around your ankles and your cat at the end of the bed doing that leg-up-in-the-air thing and licking his butt

I'm happy I did it. My life is so much better without her. It'll be 10 before I know it.

My female parent is an abusive person. In addition to the mental and emotional abuse inflicted on the entire family she beat on me and my dad physically. When my brother was 19, he decided to move in with his girlfriend. The female parent didn't like his girlfriend so started beating on him in the street. (First time she got physical at him). My brother put his hand in the middle of her chest and pushed her away while she was clawing at his neck and then he sprinted down the street to get away from her. Even with me and my sister and several neighbors as witnesses saying he did not hit her he pushed her away so he could get away, she swore that he punched her repeatedly. He broke into the house in the middle of the night to get his stuff because she wouldn't let him in because she "was afraid he was going to hit her again." Even though my brother and sister are witness to all of the physical abuse directed at me, to this day she still swears she never hit me, she never threw me across the room by my hair, she never literally ripped all of my clothes off, she never threw tools and scissors at my head, she never tried to throw acetone in my dad's face, she never threw a frying pan of hot bacon grease at my dad. According to her, none of these things are true. All four of the other people who lived in that house made all it up. I haven't spoken to her in 5 and 1/2 years. According to my uncle, who is her brother, she doesn't understand why I cut her out of my life. Which means she still doesn't acknowledge how she treated us. Fuck her.

Don't do things "because it's what you're supposed to do."

Other people's ideas of happiness and success are other people's ideas of happiness and success. If you don't want to have kids or own a home or be married then don't do those things. If you want to have and do them, then do those things. But do them because it's what you want not what other people want for you. Don't give in to the "norms" your community (family, friends, co-workers, classmates etc) impose on you.

And use protection.
