Wild video of storm chasers intercepting a tornado. Just wild.

She’s the best mom. Love this woman.

::big kid lecturing his younger brother about why we had to leave the park early (after some big feelings):: Me: “hey, dude. Leave your brother alone. He’s upset.” Big kid: “what?! I’m teaching him an important life lesson!”

While taking a job candidate to dinner, I spied Pete Carroll having dinner. Didn’t expect that on my Friday night bingo card.

🗞 Leaker of U.S. secret documents worked on military base, friend says. WaPo, no paywall. My conclusion in the short term is the FBI should have little to no trouble finding the leaker.

As Easter Sunday winds down, I am struck by the sheer number of derisive, hostile, and contemptuous posts on the social medias that, if directed at any other faith group in the world, would be rightly derided as bigoted.

SNA -> PHX 🛬 I was in the homeland less than 20 hours. Happy Easter everyone.

Tough break, Aztecs. That second half of the first half killed ya. Next year.

This shot reminds me of Kris Jenkins of Villanova beating UNC in 2016 (though with Villanova for the championship and SD State for the trip to the final). Congrats to the Aztecs, to San Diego.

I haven’t watched a bad game this entire tournament. 🏀

It’s all fun and games until the 5yo scratches his older brother’s kindle screen on the backyard concrete. 🤙🏽

We caught the last day of spring training with two of my brothers who were in town. Good times all around. ⚾️

Taylor Swift, GOAT.

Razorbacks! Bye Bye, Kansas.

Welp: there goes my bracket! Well done, FDU!

For the first time since starting college, IIRC, this is the first time neither my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes or Villanova Wildcats are in the tourney. I’m a free agent fan this year. No heartbreak, all in for the fun of it. 🏀

My considered judgement is that the pitch clock is amazing. ⚾️
