  1. Duvall's first movie was To Kill a Mocking Bird.
  2. From Tom Hagen to Gus McRae and more. Among the greats of our time. RIP Robert Duvall https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/robert-duvall-star-godfather-apocalypse-now-dies-95-variety-reports-2026-02-16/

  4. ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
  5. This is what gets me. Guess who's paying for it...
  6. Anyone who agrees with this should be forced to enjoy a steady diet of haggis, soda bread and Irish Stew...
  7. It's Northern Kentucky, I'm doubtful a Democrat can win there.
  8. I have a feeling he's going to get primaried this fall and is just saying "the hell with it"
  9. What is lost in Mazeroski's home run is that the inning before catcher Hal Smith hit a three run homer to give the Pirates a 2 run lead. Since the Yankees tied the score in the ninth Smith's homer gets lost in baseball's lore
  10. How many water bottles did Little Marco consume during this speech?

  12. Luv it! https://bsky.app/profile/jessehawken.bsky.social/post/3meu3v2pads2p
  13. I had a big battle with boredom eating. Basically a long commute had me picking up a "snack" along the way. My weight ballooned to about 250. Right now health problems and reactions to medication has brought it down to around 155. It helps in a way my medication does no tolerate soft drinks well, and my appetite is a lot less than what it was. I'm still trying to get in around a mile walking each day when possible. I still need to concentrate on light weight training to build muscle. Still a struggle but as a wise man once told me, "Take it inch by inch".
  14. Back in the day (late 90s) I knew of a couple that bought somewhere near Lake Forest. The apartments/condos at State and Superior seemed like a popular first temporary spot for recently traded players or guys brought up from the minors. We lived there a couple of years when we were transitioning out of the suburbs. Just happened by the mail room one day and saw an envelope from the Players Association addressed to Paul Konerko. Chatting with the concierge he said a few Cubs and Sox players stayed there until they found something. The guy was excited because Michael Jordon had just left after visiting someone.

  16. Not if the UVa stories I heard were true
  17. And that probably doesn't count BINGO.
  18. Since it was 2012, I doubt it was on El TACO's Radar
  19. And the original contract was signed by a Republican (Snyder)
  20. 1959, The Pirates were 78-76, a fourth place team. He posted an era of 2.70
  21. Quoting Bob Dylan was a good touch
  22. On this day in 1920, Virginia's legislature rejected the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. The amendment was approved by enough other states to take effect and was eventually ratified by the Commonwealth in 1952.
