I'm saving most of what happens in my life for the book I'll never write that nobody will want to read anyway.

Where did Fran and I celebrate our 36th anniversary? Jupiter. No, really.

We’re not getting the Eagles telecast here (Dolphins are on both Fox affiliates) but from what I see on RedZone the OL is again gonna be a problem. Maybe it’s better for my sanity that the game isn’t on TV here.

The Phillies in general and Nola (and Dombrowski) in particular are grandly illustrative of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. I feel the same about the tickets I have for next weekend; it’s unlikely to be pretty or entertaining but the money’s been spent, so…

Poolside with friends.

Just got off phone with Comcast/Xfinity- over $30/mo to add tier w/Marlins & Rays games to my cable service. I can get Marlins thru MLB.tv for $99/season. Or save $ and stick with free MLB.tv. All I watch are Phillies games anyway. Nope, Comcast.

Plenty of seats available. Cold Monday night, so understandable. Mostly seniors. Quiet despite best efforts of the in-game host. Very few kids. They probably know better.

With the Phillies… okay, a bunch of minor leaguers in Phillies uniforms, plus a smattering of regulars in town to play the Nationals, it seemed appropriate to drop by. It’s cold, by Florida standards, anyway.

That was a great halftime show. Like a perfectly choreographed block party. Worth sitting through an excruciatingly dull first half of football.

Good morning, South Florida! The temperatures are falling and so are the frozen iguanas.

Just wondering WTF is going on atop Greg Bovino’s head. Bald below, weeds on top. Looks like negative image male pattern baldness. He can’t possibly look in the mirror and think, yeah, lookin’ good. Also, he’s sniffing a lot.

My appliances are sending me a message

Never imagined that the most important five words to say would be "Do you have a warrant?" but here we are.

Patiently awaiting frozen iguanas to plummet from the palm trees.

Here’s my last column, a farewell review of what passes for my career. I’m done. If you’ve read my column over the last 30 or so years, thank you. I’ll go now. barrettmedia.com/2025/12/22/…

Bongo’s reportedly leaving his FBI job, so he can go back to blocking me on Xitter.

Coachella for idiots.

The station that proved you can milk decades of success superserving very angry people. Sorry for those losing their employment, but can't say I'll miss Radio Mambi. Besides, it's unlistenable here in PBC, unless you like electrical interference. radioinsight.com/headlines/3…

Listened to a few mins of Erick Erickson insisting that Medicare for All is dangerous because, I don't know, Communism, then Clay Travis & Sex Buckton explaining how war would be good because of lower oil prices and, I don't know, Communism. Talk radio, everybody!

Just called to make a doctor's appointment, got an AI "agent" that kept veering from English to Spanish and wanted a LOT of information. Then the doc's office called and asked the same questions, because the AI screwed up and made an appointment for the wrong office. F AI.

Gotta admit, I did not see this coming, namely kidney stones and a consequent hospital stay. Not a pleasant week.
