Me, singing:
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on the winning Powerball numbers to appear to me in a dream

RIP, John Anderson.
If there's any justice in the world, "Straight Tequila Night" is K13 on every jukebox in America for the next week.
Nothing symbolizes the tradition and pageantry of October baseball like the sand splashing from the Tropicana Field turf when a ball drops in for base hit.
Without a stout running game to cover his flaws, Sam Darnold resorts to being Sam Darnold. And it is killing the Seahawks. Letting Kenneth Walker III walk is looking more and more like a mistake.

Watching transfer-laden Federal Way demolish a clearly outmanned Thomas Jefferson team tonight, I think the system might need review.
1/ The Todd Beamer football news has sparked some discussion of what’s going on with high school sports in WA.
A lot of coaches saw what was coming and sounded the alarm when I wrote about the WIAA loosening transfer rules in 2024 (article here).

Personal news: Today is my last day at @thenewstribune, where I’ve worked since 2000. I love this community, but most of all I love the people I’ve worked with. I’m proud to call them friends as well as colleagues. I am not retiring, to be clear. The next chapter awaits.

Saying Aberdeen is "just outside Seattle" is like saying Hartford, CT is "just outside" NYC.
In the late 1980s, a small community of talented, sludgy local bands began attracting attention in the Pacific Northwest. One of those bands was from Aberdeen, Washington, just outside Seattle, and called itself Nirvana. Nirvana had a reputation for writing surprisingly catchy songs and for putting on chaotic live shows. Their first album, the heavy and noisy “Bleach,” from 1989, had been produced for just $600. It was their second record, “Nevermind,” released on this day 35 years ago, that brought the trio of underdogs into the mainstream. When Hua Hsu listened to “Nevermind” for the first time, he was just a teen-ager, casting about for something new. The divide between mainstream and alternative music still seemed meaningful, and Nirvana still felt like a secret: “The band was a gateway,” Hsu writes.
