photo credit: Inter Miami CFOn a rainy Saturday evening, with a torrential downpour hovering above Chase Stadium, Inter Miami persevered, stayed calm, and managed to squeegee out a narrow 1-0 victory over DC United.
The match itself was atypical of the Herons. It was a low-scoring affair, and - in a nice change of pace, Miami’s defense did well to keep a clean sheet.
Though the DC backline did well to keep Messi quiet, it was the tactical substitutions (and a bit of luck) that saw the Herons keep their top spot at the top of the Eastern Conference.

Charismatic Jesse Ed Davis was truly one of the rare breed known as a “guitarist’s guitarist.” With his handsome features, long black hair, and mod clothes, Davis cut a dashing figure onstage.

On session after session, he epitomized the concept of “playing for the song,” drawing deeply from country, blues, rock, and R&B influences without mimicking anyone.

I'm not a sports guy. We are not a sports family. Growing up, my parents loved sports, and watched them a lot. But it wasn't my thing. That has reflected in my children. A few years ago when my oldest son tried soccer, we spent most of our time trying to get him to stop going up to the ref every few minutes asking, "
I bet you are as surprised as I was to learn that there’s a massive waterfall just a few miles behind the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton.

Some time ago, I went to boardgamegeek.com to find something I could suggest for a proposed game night with my wife’s friends. I was pleasantly surprised to see something called “X-Wing Miniatures Game” among the highest-rated systems of all time. Fast-forward seven years and I am meticulously painting tiny models of Clone Warscharacters in my basement.
Tabletop gaming has proved a good hobby for me. But I remain over-invested in Star Wars–themed products.

I like to think of the Bay Area intellectual culture as the equivalent of the Vogons’ in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The Vogons, if you don’t remember, are an alien species who demolish Earth to build an interstellar highway.

Television is somehow both better than it has ever been and also an annoying mess. This has been a problem for a while now. It’s a few different problems at once, really. There’s the thing where a thousand streaming services spent many years spreading everything thinner than a layer of mustard on a poorly constructed sandwich, with everyone trying to make the next version of the last big hit, which was probably a hit because it was refreshing and new.
