I wonder if that’s true and, if so, whether that offer is still on the table. Jon Morosi was on the radio today and he estimated Harper’s chances of returning to the Nationals at around 30%.

I agree. I think it’s ridiculous that he received the MVP award. However, Paul is probably right as well. There was a story in this weekend’s Times about a player who killed himself because he thought he had CTE. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/sports/cte-football-hairston-super-bowl.html I was glad to see the president say he might not encourage his son to play football.

I can’t believe we’re relitigsting deflate gate after all these years. To me it’s a dead issue and I’m not even a Pats fan. It’s over and done with and Brady served his sentence. .

We are about two weeks from pitchers and catchers reporting and Harper and Machado don't appear to be any closer to signing than they did in November, not to mention players like Keuchel, Kimbrel, Moustakas and Marwin Gonzalez. Incredible. Either we have collusion or owners starting to exercise fiscal restraint and turning it into a buyer's market.

I found their bebop set to be incredibly useful.

Due to costs, they eliminated it. I doubt it will ever be re-introduced. Sea mail is also slow. In this day and age, I doubt people want to wait that long for packages.

Slightly interesting.

Mine is not due to arrive until mid to late February.

I will leave that to others. I had never seen the movie but half guessed at the ending although it still took me by surprise.

Nice!!

Back before I became interested in Jazz and I mean way back, I had a few of his albums. I think this is one I liked but it’s probably been 30+ years since I listened to it.

A very odd movie.

Fahrenheit. Right now, it’s -3 in NW New Jersey, improving to a warm 16
