This creek moves pretty good in the spring. I’ll show you in a few months.

Office Cleanup Ephemera
I went to this game with my dad. I think maybe my sister had gotten the tickets and couldn’t go? No matter, it was at RFK Stadium, a small stadium by modern standards and a great place to see a ballgame. At the time, Boomer Esiason’s 522 passing yards were the third-most all-time in a single game, and were the most ever at RFK.
Our seats were in the end zone and just high enough that we could see the whole field. It was like the 3rd-person view in the old 2K football games. Watching receivers break open while the ball was in flight was awesome.
And Arizona won in overtime after Washington puked up a 14-point lead with 10 minutes left in the game. Super-funny to a couple of Giants fans on a free Sunday afternoon.
Stately beast
Clean and boxy, from last weekend.

2020 Hopslam
Still too costly, and still de-lish-us.
Quarter cord
Half of a half-cord of wood in this swanky rack I got from Adam.
Our 2020 transition into people that spend time outside has been something, man. I would never have guessed that I’d be a guy that goes in on a truckload of wood.
This one was a winner
Runny eggs over crab cakes don’t photograph well, but goddamn are they tasty.
If the bagel was better it would be the front-runner for meal of the year.
Fake Roadshow Captions
I’m a long-time, ridiculous fan of Antiques Roadshow. This twitter thread of fake captions is cracking me up this morning:
these fake antiques roadshow captions are so funny to me

Also hit some serves
I was pretty sore after the heavy work on Saturday so I took a basket of balls out to hit some serves and get some blood flowing. I was rusty as hell. My timing is all out of whack and my legs and shoulder were cooked halfway through the first basket.
There will be some rebuilding in order once the weather warms up and I can start playing regularly again.
Lifting recap
This is the video that I screen-grabbed earlier. You can hear the magnet brake locking in between reps.
455 reverse-band squats. It’s the most I’ve had on my back in a long while. It felt okay, too. Walkout looked good and the depth, on the second rep anyway, looked really good. I still need to keep working on my right hip so I can get low enough. It sure looks like there is plenty of power there. I’m not sure where the workouts go from here, but I am feeling more confident that I can get the 1000-pound meet total I am shooting for.
