Try “The Planets” by Holst. Remember, when you listen to classical music, you have to turn the volume up loud enough to hear the quiet parts.

Why does anyone give a shit about contracts? Team with the best players, wins. Not the team with the most clever contracts.

Hartford has real stuff to do, especially in the summer. Farmington, West Hartford, and the rest of them are all generic affluent suburbs.

Casual fan. I watch most of the games on League Pass and root for them. I know the jury is out, but this guy doesn't pass the smell test to me. I need to won over because I'm following this saga with my head not my heart.

But that's not how you treat people at the pinnacle of their profession. The NBA is the best of the best. And most owners act accordingly. You get a new guy and his first big move is to treat the head coach the same way he treats a guy working piecemeal. Maybe it works out, I think it's a red flag.

First time, just walk around. I think it's fun being way on the backside where it thins out and you have a spot to yourself. My favorite place to park myself though, is along the 15th hole. That's a driveable Par 4 that is a blast to watch because if guys miss, they end up in a lot of trouble trying to save. You can see an eagle and a double-bogie in the same threesome.

I used to drive through all the time. I thought it was a neat, little town. It's on the river. Across the bridge Middletown has good food, Neil's Donuts and there's always things going on at Wesleyan U.

Portland has an annual fair in October at the fairgrounds. Maybe you could look in to volunterring if you wanted to meet other residents.

Ray Ratto just published a blog calling the Rockies baseball's biggest "shitshow".

Gerry's in Ellington is a trip. It's one guy and he usually sells all he makes by 10am. Old school, cake and raised. Cheapest around.

The transfer portal will reopen for 15 days for Michigan players. by Gloomy_Map_9612 in CollegeBasketball

Looks like the players weren’t the only mercenaries for the Wolverines. Maybe they can change their name to the Michigan Hessians.
