Bag of Randomness for Monday, February 21, 2022

  • I can’t recall the last time I used or even seen an iced tea spoon. Over the years, I’ve stopped putting any sugar or sweetener in my tea and haven’t had the need for one, but then again, I’d usually use my straw to stir it.
  • The new season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is out. I like the show, but I think I really enjoyed watching it with my ex because it brought joy to me to see how she reacted to certain scenes. I’m debating on watching the new season. Anything I do, I want to do for myself as I work on Keith 2.0.
  • Family movie nights with the kids are fun. But the new normal means there will only be three of us instead of what was the usual four. There’s still that element of “something’s missing” when we watch movies together. It’s all part of acceptance and yielding.
  • A part of rebuilding and rediscovering myself is to figure out what are things that make me happy. So, I asked my kids, and they both quickly and at the same time said, “Hugs.” Then one of them added, “Hugs from us, specifically.”
  • How on Earth did Texas not be the first state to institute this law? Tennessee bill would designate some gun owners as law enforcement.
  • I’m sure everyone saw this story yesterday – Olympics – Cross-country skiing – Finn Remi suffers frozen penis in mass start race
    • Lindholm explained that he used a heat pack to try to thaw out his appendage once the race was over. “When the body parts started to warm up after the finish, the pain was unbearable,” he added.
  • I never knew Michael Jordan shattered a backboard during a game until I saw a GIF of it yesterday. But it threw me off because he was wearing an orange jersey. Interestingly, it happened when he played for an Italian club, which I did not know he did.
    • The game was Jordan’s only appearance for Italian club Stefanel Trieste. Playing against Juve Caserta, Jordan scored 30 points for his one-night club. And he left the gym a bit of a mess: Late in the game, driving to the basket, Jordan broke the backboard with an impressive one-handed dunk. The glass shattered, showering players with glass. It was quite a scene.
  • Speaking of Jordan, it surprised me how he specifically sought our very own Luka Doncic at yesterday’s All Star Game and gave him some love. If that’s not making it or achieving a high level expect, I don’t know what is.
  • New NCAA baseball rule – The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel on Thursday approved allowing the use of one-way electronic communication devices for the purpose of calling pitches and plays. 
    • Examples of what could be implemented next season include teams being allowed to use an electronic display board from the dugout that shows a numerical code to call pitches and/or defensive plays. Teams also can use a one-way in-ear communication device that would be limited for use from the dugout to the catcher.
  • There’s an Arkansas or East Texas joke in here somewhere – We’re sisters and our sons are brothers, cousins and twins
  • This guy is having a bad day.
