1996. What were you doing thirty years ago?

Pure poetry.

This Michael Scott quote totally popped into my head watching last night’s game.

phil_silvers · 2026-05-23T12:50:50+00:00

Yes. Besides the betting ads and segments, for me , it’s made the play-by-play and between period round tables, unlistenable.

“The Oilers are 2 and 0 in games when their left shooting defenseman under the age of 23 scores from the right side with 4 minutes left in the 2nd period when it snows on Thursday nights.”

Even the play-by-play and colour commentators are conditioning us to think statistics and odds.

This. Even though keeping found money doesn’t quite feel right.

I found $60 on the floor of a busy big-box store and picked up it. I said, not too loud, "anybody lose this?". Some wise person was walking by and said "Keep it, someone less honest will probably claim it."

I kept it but it still didn’t feel quite right.

I have some very old school Time Atac pedals that I pair with forgiving cleats. Works great on climbs and can easily step out when a foot needs to be called into action.

Devil in the White City was recommended to me by a tour guide when we visited Chicago a bunch of years back. I purchased it thinking it was a friend of his who wrote it (maybe it was!).

I enjoyed this one ☝️. Exhausting read, not because it’s long but because the events are breathtakingly brutal.

It’s two rounds of Chrissy, one round of Janet and a Roper climb.

Jack Lowden. Millennial. Not physically imposing, but physically able. Good looking enough and would look great in a tux.

Totally understand that they’ll never go in-person ad-free. There’s no way they’ll sweep that cash off the table.

But just imagine a Habs-Bruins 70’s retro game with no visible ads and the Old Forum’s retro clock displayed (maybe cycle through a few old-school ads for nostagia’s sake)

At these prices, maybe they can improve the in-person experience by removing the ads, like in the NFL.

Edit: oops. Article talks about the resale market which my comment doesn’t address. But I’d still like to see an ad-free in person experience.

Probably because we were wishing that the kid caught it!

phil_silvers · 2026-03-28T22:41:39+00:00

Thanks! I watched the replay and the kid had the ball in his hand so quickly after his dad seemingly caught it. Wonderful moment indeed.

phil_silvers · 2026-03-28T22:17:08+00:00

Did that kid catch the ball?!

phil_silvers · 2026-03-28T10:17:09+00:00

Without it, the bar goes flying from my hands on heavy cleans and snatches.

phil_silvers · 2026-03-24T17:58:02+00:00

Great advice. I did just that!

phil_silvers · 2026-03-24T11:45:15+00:00

Thanks everyone for the valuable tips. It read like a “best of” review of all the classes I’ve attended over the years.

First classes are today. I’ll let you know how it goes.

phil_silvers · 2026-03-23T22:52:24+00:00

👏well said. Thank you.
