First round of Girl Scout cookies were delivered by the neighbor this morning. 2 thin mints, 2 Tagalongs, Trefoils, Samoas, and a toffee something or other. 36.00 for 7 boxes, oh well I can’t resist. One box of Tagalongs were gone by noon.

Good stuff. We are descendents of the Earl of Perth, whatever that title is. I'll just assume he was a moderator in Scotland.
Stylish buggers, the Drummond Clan...
William the Conquerer is my 28th great-grandfather. One of the 1,073,741,824 twenty-eighth great grandfathers that I have according to google.
George Washington was born on Pope’s Creek and his maternal grandmother was a Pope. Nathaniel Pope is credited with being part of the tract of land that was granted by the king.

Apparently, Shawn Bradley was hit from behind by a car while riding his bike and is now paralyzed. Be careful out there, bikers. Lots of idiots on the road.
Wouldn't the one that actually came to America be the most important one though?
There will be a sharp uptick in births around the new year. The new Silk Sonic track is 
Been waiting on new Bruno ever since 24k magic. Not sure there’s ever been artist I’ve done more of a 180 on than that guy. Used to hate his stuff.
I’ll always hate Adam Levine tho. Can’t stand his voice.
I’m German/Portuguese
When stimulus szn meets baseball szn meets pfg szn = dad is absolutely CRUSHING

I doubt we ever see another 7’6” dude actually ride a bike.
I bet that looked weird AF

Go to the Netherlands.... it's nothing but giants on bicycles.
Talent pool at Gustavo's is deep tonight, boys.
Amazing, really.
Amazing, really.
Dick Hoyt died at 80 years old today.
I first read about this guy (and his son) in a Rick Reilly article 15 years ago, and it's been my go to motivation story ever since.
When his son was born with a severe disorder that left him wheelchair bound and unable to speak, he's 40ish years old and has 1 heart attack under his belt. He runs in a local 5k pushing his son in his chair for fun one random weekend, and his sons tells him "I don't feel disabled when we run."
So he proceeds to get in amazing shape and compete in thousands of marathons and triathlons at an extremely high level for 30 years, pushing/pulling/biking his son in every single one. What. A. Story.
(and of course I can't find the Reilly SI article anywhere, but it's a gem)

Considered it an honor to run alongside them for a brief period at Boston one year. Remarkable athlete.
I don't know where to find his times, but I'm fairly certain he *qualified* for Boston pushing his son all those years. I consider myself at least a decent runner, and at 42 I need to drop about 20-25 minutes off my PR to qualify. And as a note, I do not run pushing a fully grown adult.
Oh hell yes he qualified, easily. IIRC, they ran several sub-3 hour marathons.
I know everyone is super pumped about this NCAA Tournament, but I’ve only received $40 via Venmo for brackets thus far. Thanks Booker, Terie, Chad and a co-worker. Everyone else, get on it. TIA.

If you need another payment option, let me know.

Also —> if Rick Reilly wasn’t the GOAT, he was way up there. 1 freaking page, and he just smashed it. All the time.
For awhile- got a little big for his britches, though.
Still wear the double support rainbows - the GOAT flops.
Reilly was great until he became a dramatic douche bag. That last page of SI was prime real estate though.
That Dick Hoyt story made me tear up. What a badass. Thanks for sharing.

When the pool opens Memorial Day weekend I'll be in Hari Maris.
Hard to believe this was 10 years ago....
My 8 year old Birks are really comfy. To be honest I have no idea what rainbows, hari’s, or pipers are. I’ll just stick with with what I know....and like
I have the Ironman VHS I bought years ago with him and his son featured. That guy is just a legendary human being. Heart goes out to Rick.
I miss the sports journalists of old. Crusty dudes who looked like they ripped heaters and probably enjoyed a good pour of brown.
These men took their craft seriously but didn’t take themselves seriously nor act like they were out here championing some greater good. They got sports were a release from every day life.
I also appreciated how they realized the athletes and coaches were their allies in terms of getting info so they’d grab a beer and a bite with said athlete or coach to gather intel.
