Lately, I've been encouraging my wife to drive our Tesla more, hoping that she'll see the light and want a Model Y L next. It's working.

I don't want to go to Costco outside of executive hour ever again. Samples aren't worth it. I had heard that near closing time on Fridays is also a good time to go, but that seems not to apply in Utah. 🤷‍♂️

Pre-gaming the ward party dinner (by eating) so I don't embarrass my wife again.

Life is better when it's football season than when it isn't football season. Not all of the credit belongs to football itself, but some does.

Replace the word "football" with "soup" and it's still true.

Multiview on YouTube TV is nice, but I wish it let me rank the 4 games by priority, and automatically handled going full-screen on the highest priority game that is not showing a commercial or halftime.

I'm glad that I care just the right amount about sports, unlike you!

When I was a kid, the best way to start a day off of school was cereal in front of The Price Is Right (starring Bob Barker). My kids will never know that joy.

Hey has anybody else noticed that Delta's in-flight internet service isn't fast or reliable?

A meal train, but with tryouts.

I think Peaks Ice Arena has had the same CD jammed in its stereo system since I was in college.

I'm supposed to take a red jersey to hockey because our opponents' jerseys are too similar to our regular grays. I'm getting this throwback out.

Someday I'll tell my sweet girls about 9/11, but not this year. I'm in no hurry to introduce that darkness to their innocent little minds.

I don't always take cold showers, but I like having the option. At our old house in Texas, during peak summer, the "cold" water came out around 91°F. 🥵

I woke up after the explosion, saw what happened, and hurried to the SpaceX HQ. My manager had called a meeting. I detoured to fill up my water on the way to the conference room. I chose a donut from the box by the door and took a seat as others entered.
Happy 10 year anniversary to the legendary ULA sniper who "allegedly" one-tapped Falcon 9 and sent AMOS-6 to the shadow realm!! 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah definitely the wrong room. I gathered my notebook, water, and donut fragment and hurried out as Elon approached. Got back to my desk and saw that our team meeting had gotten bounced from that conference room during the time I had gone to fill up my cup. 🤦‍♂️

It was a sad day. I was relieved when the cause of the explosion turned out not to be propulsion-related. But the campaign to double-check everything before returning to flight the following January was grueling. I have a great story about it that I'll probably never tell.

Crazy that some guy's job is to put out articles like "PRE-SEASON BOWL PREDICTIONS."
