    Fuck this weather. I was able to golf 3 times in February last year. At this point, it's gonna be mid March before the ground is dry.

    I'm definitely gonna be a snow bird when I retire. Buy a little condo in the Clearwater area or something. Head south after the holidays and head north with the Phils a few months later.

    I don't mind snow.  If it's gonna be cold, I'd rather have snow on the ground.  Though that is changing a bit with working from home and daycare closing from time to time. 3 year old loves it though.
    Agreed. I was taking the kid to preschool this morning and she was loving it. Made me actually think that as I can recall this is the closest to what a conventional winter was like for me as a kid or thereabouts - consistently cold and snow more than once where it immediately melts. She got a kick out of cleaning the car off. 

    Don't worry though, everybody, this is now the anomaly going forward - we'll all have waterfront property sooner than later.

    My wife seems set on Clearwater for our future snowbird haven, so we can hang out and argue over Boston vs Philly sports while listening to PJ and discussing the good old days over a tall glass of prune juice.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Reading about the Phils during this god forsaken, snow filled, month is one of the few things keeping me sane.

    I think they're gonna be better this year. I like what Dombrowski has done since coming aboard.. Gelb has a good article about him filling out the roster in a better way than in years past.

    Should score a lot of runs again--offense wasn't a problem last year and it's the same lineup again. Bullpen should be better (can't be worse!). With any luck Spencer Howard will stay healthy and approach his ceiling. Defense still will be an issue. But I think they'll be in the mix come September. 

    I really had a hard time getting into that fake baseball season last year. Looking forward to a, hopefully, more normal season this time around. 

    GoPhils.

    Yeah, basically they took the $25M from Arietta and spread it around. I don't mind the filler pieces they're taking a chance on either. I think they should go sign Jackie Bradley instead of fucking with any of these guys in center.

    Cool. So JT is hurt. I don't like baseball players - especially catchers - with thumb injuries. Cool cool cool. Cooooool.

    You'd think they would be better even if it's a very similar team.  The division is just so brutal

    This new Kate Winslet show on HBO looks decent. Seems like a pretty decent Delco account too. Exciting times!

    Haha, randomly saw that she said something like it was hands down the hardest accent for her to adjust to.

    I hadn't seen anything on this....funny the mention of accents when they show that scene with her speaking to Guy Pierce.  Have you heard that guy's real accent?
    What these people can do with the way they speak is crazy cool

    Finally, the City and the Federal gov't are actually moving in the right direction - mass vaccination location opening at the convention center. Huge news.

    Not doing it at the Linc then?

    I get my first shot on Tuesday. By the end of March just about all of my family should be fully vaccinated. Halle-fucking-luiah

    Nah, not at the moment at least - mayor wanted something more centralized and better accessible to all neighborhoods of the city, which I get. At the same time I think they should be using any and all spaces that are willing.

    I know the vaccine isn't an end-all be-all for all things Covid and I'm immediately going back to the way things were pre-Covid, but yeah I'm at a breaking point and am close to just saying fuck it in a lot of regards, so the sooner the better. PA as a whole has been awful with it compared to our neighbor states, but looks like they're finally righting the ship. Looking forward to research results showing you can't transmit the virus to others once vaccinated.

    how did you get it so soon? underlying condition?   PA. has done a shitty job of getting enough vaccines.  I'm in 1C on the protocols so i'll be lucky to get it by freaking July at this rate.

    I used to feel this way, but I'm starting to be more optimistic that the curve on this is steep, so it's been slow going but I think it's gonna flip a switch and accelerate. At least I hope.

    I also don't hold it against anyone getting the vaccine even if they're not technically next because they've done a shitty job distributing and doses are going unused. Just start sticking everyone in the arm.

    Yea my hope is they start getting a ton and even most pharmacies start getting it so it's easier to schedule and get come spring. I'm fine with where I am on the list though as I'm pretty healthy overall. Give it to those who need it most works for me.  Friends and family who have gotten it the 2nd dose has hit them pretty hard for a day or two though.
