My wife, daughter, and mom flew from BWI to LA and back this past week on Southwest, no complaints. This is the first time since they made their changes, actually I think having the guaranteed seats was good for them since my mom is older and daughter is 4. No chance of being separated or having to haggle with anyone.

There is a guy who plays with us from time to time who has all woods and hybrids, a pitching wedge, and a putter. He’s in his late 30’s, shoots between 75-80 almost every time. Doesn’t have one normal iron and goes out plays darn well. We asked him if he ever considered using a normal set and he said never.
It’s always amusing when someone plays with him for the first time and then the awe they have when they see how well he does.

The other day my wife told me she that a coworker and her were talking about retirement and the coworker said her parents were getting to retire and they only had about $50,000 in savings. We were both like, whew that's not very much, but I guess they are way above average!

I think it will keep chugging fine. It seems like millennials (I’m one) are starting to really catch up after a shaky start. As for Gen Z, they were born into a world with such easy access to the market, and many that I talk to are participating.

Some of the most iconic games in NFL history are remembered because of the weather

Ice Bowl
Tuck Rule Game
Fog Bowl
Coughlin's face freezing off in Green Bay in 2007

None for me this year, Aunt Flo was visiting my wife. Also with two kids (9&4), Christmas day starts early and it's a long day. Some years we do it, some years not.

That was a fun week of games! A college buddy of mine was an intern for Gameday and was at the Rose Bowl. He got me a shirt from the game, I still have it somewhere. Just a a cool artifact to have from one of the great games in history.

I live in PSU country and it has been dead silent on who they're targeting. It seems like they picked the worst year imaginable to fire Franklin with so many other high profile jobs coming open.

We have joint checking and savings. All of our financial stuff we approach as a team. It’s our money and investments. With that being said, people need to do what works for them. I know couples who have separate accounts and they seem fine. To each their own.

I'm still on episode three where Washington was getting decimated in NYC. Even though I know most of what has been said, I'm still really enjoying it.

1. I wish they had spent more time on the vote for independence and the Declaration itself. They didn't mention the drama of Caesar Rodney riding in during a storm to cast Delaware's vote, or NY abstaining. They just kind of wedged it in at the end of episode two and let it be.

2. They've gone to great lengths to talk about the brutality of the Revolution, which most documentaries don't do. Since photography didn't exist then, we don't have the terrible battlefield pictures like from the Civil War. So it always seemed to me we just have very patriotic paintings of battle scenes that are extremely sanitized and it seemed almost like a gentlemen's affair. This has done well to push past that and discuss the horrors of war as they were.

They’re still -650 to make the playoffs of Fanduel, still pretty good odds.
