I’ve had some hardships over the past year and life can be a complicated mess but everyone has their ups and downs.
I got a big promotion a year ago but the benefits haven’t outweighed the negatives so I’m at a crossroads. It has brought me financial stability in these hard times though which I’m thankful for but I know I’m going to have to make a decision one way or the other at some point.
My son has become fully invested in baseball this year and the journey still continues. He went from Little League to All Stars to now travel ball and will pitch in his first 9U kid pitch game tomorrow so that’s very exciting. I’m a nervous wreck but can’t wait to see him perform. We have lived at the baseball field since April, and it’s been an honor to watch him grow as a person and player. I don’t think we’ll know what to do with ourselves when the travel season ends next month but basketball is next up for him and he’s excited for that. Hopefully this year I can get him into watching some KU games with me as he was curious at times last season.
With work - similarly I got a promotion about a year ago. Then immediately we were (are) and industry current administration is going after. Caused a ton of stress. Went to therapy to help me understand why I was hating work so much. It very much helped keep things in perspective. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it first before leaving.
Congrats on the baseball! Good luck to him pitching! I miss playing baseball at that age more than any other competitive sports I played.
My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?
People forget the whole dink & dunk offense that the West Coast offense is. Andy Reid is a disciple of that. Smith comes over from SF, specifically to fit into this system. It grinds on.
What was that stat they flashed up during the Denver game: Going back the last 20+ games, KC is 18-3, the best record in the NFL? Credit Alex Smith, Reid, and the KC D.

Choir. Singing. To.

As you know my grand strategic constraint is to keep Beatty at all costs to avoid any more massive cash infusions to football until they are showing some tax exempt surplus. Soooooo, if you say Kingsbury Marquis of won’t be available, for a year, and Gilbert, from that splinter republic of Texastan, is a strong OC, then I’m on your bandwagon and count me in for some baked beans and ribs with lots uh chilli in the sauce, pardner.
@justanotherfan Yeah, I stayed in McCullum Hall. It was ancient, but better than the carnival cruise you are describing. Demolished recently for obvious reasons. Sounds more like Jayhawk Towers where they have kitchens. That place was (probably still is) a dump.
Mono and Pneumonia sure, Mumps and Measles - that’s on you for not vaccinating. Enjoy polio non-vaccinators.

I know people that have stopped watching for that reason as well, but those are the same people that only watched 13 or 14 games last year instead of all 16. Viewership was eroding and there were a lot of people on the fence this year. Maybe the protests pushed them off the ledge this year, but they were already trending down anyway and probably would have stopped watching in another year or two anyway. That’s the trend the NFL has to worry about - that the protests sped up a decline already in progress.
