If you were picking a train trip to do, what would you choose?
In 1986, I took an Amtrak from San Diego (Change in LA) to Albuquerque. Great views from the dome car but the action was in the lounge car. They were recent retirees from around the country. Their wives were fed up with them hanging around the house. So they rode the rails, drank beer, played cards and told stories.

Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
I’ve been working from home since 2018 when my company granted me the opportunity to help take care of my mom who has Alzheimer’s. My job had evolved into an internet job (legal research). My first few months were exhausting as I just worked and did not take breaks. In office I typically talked to co-workers mostly about shit that happened in out lives and very limited on work stuff. Most work conversations were by email or over the phone. I no longer had a three hour commute (manageable due to light rail) and my youngest went off to college leaving me in an empty nest so the timing was right for a transition as I no longer needed to live close to the ex-wife To make up for my missing morning commute time, I did an hour fitness class 3 days a week and swam for an hour on the other days. I missed seeing faces in the office and the commute so the exercise class gave me conversation time and the water gave me fish faces to look at. After work I did neighborhood dog walks with my mom and family, visits to the dog park and volunteering by coaching a youth soccer team. The dog park was great because like-minded strangers grew into friends. Helping with my mom who later moved in with me andmy other activities were accomplished by wfh. Covid happened and a merger. Work has been good as I’ve been top in total hours and 1 or 2 in billable hours each quarter in my department. As good as it’s been working from home, I’d take the more money in the office and move for a closer remote. I’d do it earlier in my career when the kids were young, because it was good to get away. The only debate would be later in my career when my mom needed more help.

USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Antonee Robinson played his first full game in a long time. My YouTube algorithm is showing replays of 2022 US World Cup games. Jedi was a significant influence in those games. Good news if he’s turned the corner on his recovery.

Epic movies or shows you haven't gotten around to watching
Breaking Bad takes off when the new key characters are introduced in season 2. I enjoyed the Wire from the start. The line of “got to, it’s America man”. Watched one superhero movie in the last 15 years. Thor Ragnarok

Texas vs UVA- 8:15 on ESPNU
This may be the worst basketball IQ team I’ve seen since watching 7th grade girls basketball.

USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Cavan Sullivan is the youngest one on the team and by far the best player in the US-Czech game I watched. His brother plays for the Philadelphia Union and was on the US gold cup team, his younger brother is much better Mathias Albert looked pretty good and scored the goal to win. He plays for Dortmund and has a future there. Two to keep an eye on for the future along with gk Kochen and cb Banks who were too good for the u20 team. So that makes 4 to watch. We just don’t have quality depth like traditional national teams so fingers crossed for these four.

The movie you just watched
It Was Just An Accident. Iranian film by Jafar Panahi. It’s an amazing film that packs a punch. The theme resonates with the temperament of the world today Panahi had been jailed intermittently and has continually evaded Iranian authorities in creating films in secret. Post production was done in France after sneaking out the film.

What do you order at Whataburger?
I ordered either a whataburger or specialty burger at breakfast to ensure that it’s made fresh. But then I got tired of having a burger at breakfast so I don’t go anymore. A burger from Burger Boy in SA is what I remembered whataburger used to be.

Driving between Dallas and Houston
This place was pretty good. Holy Smoke BBQ in Huntsville has a history tied to a church community It was founded by a group of church wives from New Zion Missionary Baptist Church. and I second the ribeyes at Lorena general store.

Best Sad Song (fuck I love a sad song)
- Better get your Dirty’s fix, soon.
Went to dirtys after my soccer game and during the football game yesterday. The coeds were glorious but it was liking looking into the sun. Danger, when three coeds cumulative age is younger than me. Had the OT and rings for the trip back to NB. Mopac was clear for drive home. Just like dallas highways during a cowboys game.- End of an era - Ray Hudson retiring from broadcasting
Listening to SiriusXM fc show about him. As coach of Miami fusion he took preki’s jersey into the shower pregame and then told preki that’s as wet as your shirt is going to get this game. - Better get your Dirty’s fix, soon.
