@ericareport All 5 shots, 0 covid, but we've also been more cautious than most, wearing masks in most indoor public settings, avoiding crowds, etc

@BeschlossDC I was 7, and we were living in Argentina. My father's car had a shortwave radio, so we piled into the car in the driveway to listen to Kennedy. I remember thinking that all my friends back in the US were going to die, but I wouldn't. It was a kind of survivor guilt.

@GrantBrisbee It's really more of a peyote with a meth back moment, but I'll let you slide

@petersagal Can't of course name any one as The One, but on long flights this is one I'll often turn to.

@billjamesonline Minor leaguers & pre-free agency players do need more money. Current major leaguers nor owners do.

@FareedNBCS * Center fields must be at least 415', left & right >400', foul lines >390' - make home runs rarer * Umps add strikes & balls for dawdling by hitter or pitcher over 20 sec * 20 bunts mandatory for every player every day of spring training - f'in learn to kill the shift * No DH

@eliehonig Best job I ever had was as a soda jerk. Pay was crap, but all I did was make people happy.

@politicalmath Yup, I've got four kids, but we're at net negative replacement level, as five adults raised them without any having any other kids.

@NothingButGravy @billjamesonline @sfcubsfan The Deadheads would argue with Perry, but he is a true fan & was a big part of the championship runs. But for me it's Bennett, as it's a long-standing family tradition to sing along with Tony after wins.

@NothingButGravy @billjamesonline @sfcubsfan They only play It when they Giants win, which makes it extras sweet, but also extra sad to be denied it when they lose.

@cbertsch @majortominor First saw The Apartment as a 5-year old, from the back of the family station wagon, where I was supposed to be sleeping while the second/adult feature played at the drive-in. Obviously I didn't understand it, but I loved CC's tenderness and it's stayed in my top 10 ever since.

@extrabaggs @PavlovicNBCS What on earth is a "quality assurance" coach? And why does "performance" need to be inserted into "hitting coach?" Has the intent heretofore not been quality or performance?
