I don't know about other states, but in Ohio you can get participation history straight from the county BOE website if you know their date of birth.

I recently started listening to Paul Giamatti's podcast Chinwag and he's a riot. Co-host is a philosophy professor, and they talk with a vast array of people--the first 10 eps include actors/comedians, a former FBI criminal profiler, a former DA, an Egyptologist, and the Long Island medium.

I used to work a 16 every once in a while back when I was a security guard at an acute care hospital. Of course, the hospital was not open while being renovated, I was barely paid minimum wage, and I didn't care about my job, so it was more like an 8-4-4 where I took a quick nap in a patient room.

You're also instantly, like, 60% better if you can grunt every time you hit the ball.

There's a local butcher/grocer by me that made a culatello last year that was to die for. It cost like $50/lb, but I'd have paid twice that (...and ordered half as much because even I'm not spending that much on delicious cured meats!)

All that to say, dealing with the short term cognitive impairment and that recovery left me stressed out and exhausted, and that was only a few months. I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it is to have to watch someone suffer with Alzheimer's. Hoping for the best with this news!

Last year my dad ended up in the hospital after turning septic from a diabetic ulcer on his foot. He was in there for about 2 weeks before being sent to a rehab facility for 3 more, getting released, then another infection led to a toe amputation, and the same on the other foot soon thereafter.

We'll have a car, so distance isn't a major issue. A lunch option downtown or along 71 heading home wouldn't hurt.

I've been doing it in beta for a while and it's pretty solid. They even have a standalone app for it on Android, which I'm assuming will be killed soon.

Hey, I'm gonna be down in Cincinnati next month for the Foo Fighters show, and looking for some good spots to stuff my face. Any recommendations? Considering Mita's, as the chef was a JBF award nominee (and it's right by my hotel) but I don't know if that's the best idea before a concert.

I haven't had a good bourbon in a while. Usuallu drinking terrible boms at the bar with my idiot friends, and I just don't drink at home. Think the last bourbon I had was from a local distillery when I was in Austin in December.

I'm loosely involved with the process of recording audio magazines and eeeeveryone underestimates how damn hard it is! It is a grind.

The dumbest thing about the "death panels" is that's basically what private insurance does. They decide what procedures/medications to cover, but somehow it's different because the ACA would have evil unelected bureaucrats. I'm still trying to figure out when the insurance bureaucrats got elected...

I'd bet good money that the winner of the Yankees/Blue Jays game I'm going to watch instead will have more of an impact on who people vote for than who wins the debate.

Since we're talking books, may I humbly recommend my friend's book, The Dead Life? I've not had a chance to finish it because I'm a bad friend, but I was thanked in the acknowledgements for offering to try and find people to beta-read it!

Yeah, apparently you can go to the Costco bakery and buy a box of their frozen cookie dough. It's like $20-25 for 120 cookies.

Oh, and in case it wasn't clear, I specifically meant the Costco chocolate cookie dough, not just regular old grocery store, name brand cookies.

Maybe... Honestly, the only thing that slows me down when I come across a bag like that is having to unwrap them. If I could just hoover them down without that speed bump? Goodnight nurse!
