Why I’m Slowly Losing Touch with Baseball
I’ve loved baseball ever since I was a kid, but due to the way MLB is evolving towards a small number of superteams, I’m losing touch with the passion. This graphic shows how much each team has spend in the last two offseasons combined.
Shopping in Nassau – January 22, 2025
We needed to pick up a couple pairs of shorts and some t-shirts, and while things at the resort are nice, they’re pretty pricey. So we caught a cab into Nassau and picked up a few things!
We didn’t visit the Pirate Museum that we went through on our honeymoon back in the last century, but it was cool to see that it was still there. We also played a horrible game of pool. The nice thing about two comparably bad people playing pool is that the game lasts a while.
Shuffleboard and Spa – January 21, 2025
Today I was proud to be a part of the greatest comeback victory in the history of shuffleboard. In the name of protecting the innocent I won’t say who came back from down 37 – negative 13 to win. But I believe we have a picture of him below.
Pirate Jeep Tour – January 20, 2025
We had a fantastic time today, as Captain Junkanoo of Pirate Jeep Tours showed us around New Providence Island. He taught us a lot of the history of the area, with a focus on pirates. And we sampled local chocolate, wine and rum.
And if you ever wondered what happens if you take too many free samples…
Sandals Cay – January 19, 2025
It took me a surprisingly long time to learn that “Cay” is pronounced “Key.” Anyway, spent a lot of yesterday on Sandals’ private island in the Bahamas. It’s quieter than the main resort, and while we like the exciting atmosphere, it was really nice to spend a quiet day looking over the water.
Vacation Begins! – January 18, 2025
Day one of vacation and somehow we’re already on stage with the band! Woke up in Boston, and spent the evening at Sandals in the Bahamas.
Just A Little Confused
I understand the idea of creating universally understandable signage, but sometimes a few extra words could help. If this truly means “don’t exit if the plane is on fire,” I don’t think I’m going to obey this sign.
Quote of the Day
You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone – Marcus Aurelius
Thanks General Tso!
I was never a big fan of broccoli when I was younger, but Chinese food taught me to love it. As long as it’s not mushy.
