When I lived in the NY Metro area, we used to go to the US Open regularly. The first week was the best as you could walk the grounds and see some great tennis up close. These days, I couldn't tell you any of the names of the top players other than 1 or 2.

In many ways, tennis has become unwatchable. Unlike golf, the people who run the sport have failed to promote the game. I used to really enjoy watching both sides of Wimbledon & the US Open. Not so much anymore. π

The women's game is far more interesting than the men's. The people who run men's tennis need to throttle back the power to make the game more watchable.

Hi Erica, Teddi is definitely a mix. She is only 8 or 9 pounds and very much resembles a mini greyhound.

Jill and I took Teddi to the dog park this morning. She really seems to enjoy running around and exploring her environment. Whippets love to run. She is like a mini greyhound.

Looks like someone hacked your X account or they created a fake one. That's awful. Sadly, Google is awful when it comes to this kind of BS. I hope you get it resolved soon.

When I left to come here almost a year ago, I left it behind. Like you, I had a lot of friends who stayed. But my integrity mattered more than those relationships.

That fits Sutherland to a tee. He had an incredible skill to take on most any role he played.

Sutherland was great in so many different movies, but his portrayal of a government insider in JFK might have been his most brilliant role.

You Light Up My Life was the #1 song in the US for something like 10 or 11 weeks in a row in 1976(?). It was an awful piece of music that is almost never played on any respectable 70s station. π

As an aside, while Jeff Skilling & others were convicted, Ken Lay died before his appeals were exhausted. This led to his conviction being wiped off the books.

I agree re the 737 Max. I think Boeing was already working under a consent decree from the DOJ. I'm unsure whom at Boeing this rolled up to & could it be proven that senior management signed off on the fraud. Last thing I want to see is a bunch of middle management sent to prison, while execs skate.

Enron was an outright fraud perpetrated on the energy community & consumers. To me, Boeing is a case of a broken culture and mismanagement on a grand scale. It's possible that some at Boeing will face criminal charges, but I don't see these issues as being similar.

This fits into the category of 'too much info.' I feel like I already know too much about Johnson. But what I recall reading was that Johnson and his so monitor each other's use of porn. That's off the charts when it comes to creepiness!

I'd pay for a video of Mike Johnson watching porn with his son. Evidently, they keep tabs on each other when it comes to porn.
