* Buddy recently retired as a UPS driver after 30+ years in the business. He said once the online mattress business became a thing it made his life miserable.
But why would you buy one any other way?
* Reds chatter......
- before this weekend, plenty of media types were saying how great it would be to see "Elly vs. Witt Jr" on Sunday prime time. Of course, Witt Jr showed TF out and Elly was terrible. Oh well.
- good news for lifelong Reds fans is that Hunter Greene just hit the DL with "elbow soreness." MRI was today, so of course he'll be out until 2026 with Tommy John. Go team.
- honestly don't even care how well Elly plays. Have you seen the way he DRESSES????
* Had a Louisiana friend ask me to pace her for the 100 miler this weekend. She got her acceptance into the race (via lottery) in mid January, found out a week later her husband of 20 years had cancer, and lost him just a few months later. So as corny as it sounds, she had a very big "why" coming into the race.
She actually called me and her other pacer 4 miles out from the aid station where I picked her up (mile 62) because she didn't think she was going to make the cutoff -- and eventually did by < 10 minutes. We continued thru the night and kept making cutoffs at aid stations by 5-10 minutes, and finished the race with 7 minutes to spare, crossing the finish line with us two pacers, her kids, and her sister. 396th place out of 404 finishers. Shew wee. What a ride.
