    Very cool win (and story) for the Fitzpatrick brothers in New Orleans. Welcome to the tour, to the younger Fitz.

    Opinions vary but for my money (and as of now), Claude is the best. I can't even remember how many times it's helped me or gotten me out of a work jam. Or home fix-it things.. hobby things.. I like random nerdy stuff like electronics and CMOS chips. I had an old chip that I didn't even know...

    From a few days ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/technology/anthropics-mythos-ai.html?unlocked_article_code=1.c1A.WhgQ.cr5jiA31ns_a&smid=url-share In case the link doesn't work for anyone, the gist is that Anthropic's new model "Mythos" was deemed too dangerous to be released to the...

    Good win. I’m glad my prediction was wrong. The parade to the penalty box in the second period was ridiculous but besides that, it was good to get a road win without our A game. Our top line will have to do better though. Aho, Svech, Jarvis were bad tonight.

    Not really. As for the East... The teams that have historically been problems for us in the playoffs were either mediocre or bad this year and didn't make the playoffs (Florida, NYR) or otherwise aren't as loaded as they once were (Boston). I guess you could make the case that Tampa has had...

    Just kidding. You’ll still have a few minutes of spare time once the baby arrives. (Per month). ;-)

    Rory has capitalized on his breaks but he’s gotten a ton of them. Every shot into the trees has left him with an alley to get out, usually right to the green.

    No par 6 at Meadowlands (although I blazed a few trails that definitely brought 6 or 7 into "regulation" play. LOL).

    FORE!

    We were staying at Ocean Isle. It was a great few days. I hadn't been to OIB since the hurricane landed there in 2020 (a few days before our scheduled arrival) and cancelled our trip. And yep.. Meadowlands had... maybe 3 par 5's? Something I remember distinctly was almost a 90 degree dogleg...

    I wish I knew more about this course but I did see a cool segment with Smylie and JT last night on Live From while they were walking hole number 3. It looks like, IIRC, the pin position on 3 today is a tough one, as there is trouble/dropoff to the left and short.

    FORE!

    I played a course near Calabash last week.. Meadowlands. I really enjoyed the round. I don't play enough to know how the course conditions there compare with neighboring courses but I'll just say it was better than what I'm used to. About $80 for 18 with a cart on a weekday. I ended up...

    LOL. I was 30 minutes late hearing the news and I felt like I couldn't catch up. At least you were at Augusta National. How was the day, the course, etc?

    FORE!

    Yep. I'm guessing it was in better condition back then. To be fair, I played Paschal last summer and the greens were in better shape than I expected. It's a decent course for kids learning to play, and for adults like me who can't keep it in the fairway.

    How's the pollen in your area?

    Really heavy in my neighborhood in north Raleigh. I've had some kind of post nasal drip the last couple of nights and I'm pretty sure I know the cause.

    FORE!

    I've played Paschal an embarrassing number of times. I can picture the tee on the first hole, where I would inevitably hook it up that hill on the left side or push it into the creek on the right. LOL.
