We’ve done it. We’ve made the long trek from those days of March fraught with uncertainty and loss to today, where we still have much uncertainty but we gain the game of baseball yet again, at least for a time. Cardinal baseball begins the 2020 season tonight against the Pirates. So, with baseball right on [...]
So we know now that baseball should be returning in four weeks. The players will be gathering in Busch Stadium next week. Things are getting real, so it seems fair to ask how excited you are about the upcoming season. Maybe it’s my age–I’ll turn 45 not long after Opening Day–or maybe it’s because I’d [...]
Hopefully you are familiar with the Disney cartoon Phineas and Ferb. If not, even if you don’t have kids, you should rectify that quickly. It’s a smart, fun show that has great rewatchability, plus there’s an amazing Star Wars episode–find it on Disney+. Anyway, the beginning of the theme song says, “There’s 104 days of [...]
The NBA is looking to return July 31 at Disney World, though they haven’t laid how what that will look like yet, whether they have some games before the playoffs or not. The NHL is going to expand their playoffs and start there when they can resume, a date that hasn’t been decided yet. The [...]
Thursday was the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. If you have been around me for any length of time, you know that the occasion was not going to get by without some sort of acknowledgement. So as I fired up Empire on Disney+, I thought about how many times I’ve watched the movie. [...]
OK, I’ll let you get your “nice” comments out of the way. Now, let’s move on. For a bit of a change, I went and solicited questions on Twitter for a mailbag post. These are your questions and these are my answers. You can make your own determination how good the latter are. Daniel, I’m [...]
If you are A) a Star Wars fan or B) been around me for any length of time, you know that, in The Empire Strikes Back, C-3PO tells Han Solo that the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field are 3,720 to one. Right now, if it’s between getting through an asteroid field or getting [...]
With no baseball, or sports in general, we’ve had to get creative to stay entertained. With March Madness also cancelled, many folk have taken to creating tournament brackets for, well…pretty much everything — from cereal, to Star Wars characters, to Taylor Swift songs. So now I’m getting in on the act, combining my two greatest [...]
It’s truly a terrible situation that doesn’t have something good come out of it. Not that this isn’t a terrible situation, with illness and death involved. Plus we talked yesterday about a lot of the costs involved, both financial and personal. No one is saying this is a good thing, don’t get me wrong. However, [...]

We’re finally getting into the single digits here on our Top Cards on Twitter countdown. We’ll have this post then one this afternoon to count down the very top of the list. After that, we’ll have a wrap-up post where we sort the data some different ways and see what it looks like. For now, [...]
We plowed through 89 different Twitter accounts yesterday and if you didn’t check them out, back your way through the links at the bottom of this post and you can see if you were in that mix. If not, we’ve got a lot more folks to look at today so maybe you’ll be in there! [...]
