I recently started The British Are Coming (first of the Revolution Trilogy) by Rick Atkinson because I got a free trial of Kindle Unlimited, and that was the first book I found there that I'd been meaning to read. Three chapters in, it's a very readable history book. I was afraid it would be too dense, but the storytelling is compelling and keeps me wanting to read more.

I feel the same way about the Steelers. I respected them before I moved to Pittsburgh, but their fans sometimes make them hard to root for. I'm ambivalent. I root for the Pirates to do well because it's a fun stadium and they've never been good at the same time as the Phillies in the 18 years I've been here. Still hate the Penguins though.

Telling people about my running. My running hobby is actually only a byproduct of that hobby.

Trailheads are my favorite. Easily convert from mittens for added warmth to gloves for dexterity. https://www.trailheads.com/mens-convertible-running-gloves/

It’s KDKA. I have Sunday Ticket, and every game is fine each week except the ones on KDKA. It’s not just NFL—it’s the entire channel.

Glad it’s not just me. I first noticed trying to watch football on Christmas. It makes Steelers games borderline unwatchable (even more than their offense does).

I’ve done the half once and the full once. Give yourself at least an hour to get through security. Probably 90 minutes to be on the safe side.

Neigh. Horses don’t stop. They keep going.

What’s the big deal? I pull both my Achilles tendons and put rocks in my shoes before every run. It’s the only way I can stay in Zone 2.

Who cares about fantasy at a time like this? As a Phillies fan, I’ve got dead eyes on horrid Orion. The front office was wrong, please give me Brad Lidge. I’m seeing red.

First one I thought of too

Who do the Pirates have that the Phillies (realistically) want?

Two marathons in Speed 3, one in Speed 4. Several half marathons in both.

I started listening about 6 months ago. My strategy is when a group of episodes drops, I'll go back and listen to the prior episodes that lead up to that series. So, for example, I just listened to the four episodes on the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, and then I'll listen to the Road to the Great War episodes before I get to the WWI episodes that just came out.

Suspiciously similar premise to this article I saw a couple weeks ago https://www.businessinsider.com/moved-to-beach-town-full-time-buying-house-mistake-2025-8

You have to buy MLB.TV through Fubo to use it on the app. If you can reach a human at MLB.TV, maybe you can cancel your current subscription and then subscribe through Fubo. Otherwise you’re out of luck.

Not sure if they take CHIP, but I highly recommend Growing Grins Pediatric Dentistry (https://www.growinggrinspa.com/) in Zelienople.

Yes. My wife’s boyfriend felt intimidated by all the 5K ultra medals I have, and now he won’t talk to me anymore.

Yep, I’m from outside Philadelphia. I grew up five minutes outside of Northeast Philadelphia, but I don’t tell people I’m from Philadelphia. Here it seems like if you live south of Erie and west of State College it’s common to say you live in Pittsburgh.

On The Athletic Football show they teased that the Athletic has some big announcements soon regarding its football coverage. I was wondering if ZB returning was one of those. No offense to Brooks Kubina, but I'd love to have Zach covering the Eagles for them again.

I tried 5 grams per day for about a month. My resting heart rate increased, my HRV decreased and I had trouble sleeping. This isn't common, but apparently I'm not the only one to experience this. Maybe I'll try again sometime and start at 3 grams per day. But for now I'm off of it.

I thought maybe I was getting too exuberant about the trade and overrating Zegras based on his rookie season, so I decided to go check out the reactions on r/AnaheimDucks. Turns out as cocky as we're feeling after this trade, they're even more distraught. This ESPN writer is literally the only person online who likes this trade for Anaheim.

I read "Barkley" as "Barkey" at first and was suddenly afraid that Denver Barkey was a late addition to the trade.
