  1. One of the major causes, or maybe it is a symptom, of depression is ruminating on the past or on problems/negative things.
  2. Monaghan looks fantastic. Face and body. She looks better in White Lotus than she did in True Detective 11 years ago. She must live in the gym.
  3. All that is true. 100 percent. But nothing we can do about it but move on. Ruminating on it does no one any good. He ain't coming back.
  4. If it was a high ankle sprain, no way is he close to 100 percent yet.
  5. Are we sure those are jorts? They could be jeans. Nice elastic waist band too.
  6. Also, my kids learned in Santa Fe. Family has a place in Las Campanas. That was a bargain for ski school. I think I paid $130 or so per day for ski school. That included rentals, helmet, lift tickets, lunch and a snack. Hell of a deal. I bet it would be 5x that for school, lift tickets, rentals, lunch at any of the big Colorado spots (Aspen, Vail, Steamboat, Keystone, Breck, etc.). You don't have to go to those. Purgatory, Wolf Creek, Cooper, Monarch, etc. can be skied cheap even if you buy at the window. If you plan and buy early, you can find great deals. I think I paid $9 at Purgatory a few years ago with dynamic pricing.
  7. It's expensive. I get it. And I got raped a couple times this year because I skied Keystone twice paying full freight and renting demo skis. It was like $400 a day ($270 for pass and $120 for rentals). But I justified it because I was in Denver for work so spent none of my own money on plane tickets or lodging. My college roommate and ski buddy who lives in Denver buys an epic pass for Keystone only. He paid like $400 for the year. And I think there were 3 or 4 holiday weekends blacked out (which he does not want to ski those days any way). He skis 20 or so days a year. That's a fantastic value. I ski Whitefish because we have a home there. I bought my own gear. I can get a season pass for $750. My kids' season pass is $400. Other option is spending $65 on a frequent skier card. That lowers the cost of lift tickets from $100 a day to $70. And you only pay when you use it. Pass is connected to your credit card and it gets charged when they scan it on the first run of a day. So you don't have to mess with getting tickets. I was reading an article recently where the author determined that the inflation adjusted costs of window lift tickets has exploded since the 1980s. But the inflation adjusted costs of ski passes has declined or remained flat. You have to plan in advance with Epic or Ikon passes, ski cheaper non Ikon or Epic mountains, or live nearby and just get season passes. Otherwise it is cheaper to probably go to Europe given the lower costs of lift tickets and lodging. As crowded as the big resorts are, I do not see the prices dropping. I am very content with Whitefish. No lines even during Christmas break. Great prices.
  8. Better to buy passes.
  9. Heading to Port Mansfield early Wednesday to prefish a tournament that occurs Saturday. I am going to give this a try. I usually fish three things down there. Topwater (Super Spook Junior Bone), gulp shrimp under a popping cork, and a Strike Pro Hunchback.
  10. Dixon is smoke though. Pure smoke.
  11. I don't think RT posts here.
  12. Happy with the hire. My understanding is the last two years at Xavier he had some pretty bad luck with injuries.
  13. Are you kidding? They were awesome in 2020 Covid year per Liucci. I mean they did get smoked by the one good team they played. But they beat 8-4 Florida as their signature win by 3 points. And won the Orange Bowl. Against a 5-loss UNC team whose entire offense was sitting out. They were right there man.
