More of a bummer than sticks in my craw, but I've been getting lit up with past Frozen Four memories over the past couple of days (which will continue for the next several)... a constant reminder of where I won't be this week. And, a realization it means we likely have to go to Detroit in the next c...

Delta continues to impress me. Just got an e-mail letting me know they have already decided to extend any status through 2021 regardless of if you requality, that any miles accrued in 2020 will just roll over into 2021 toward 2022 status, and flexibility with a number of other travel benefits. I get...

We hope our daughter keeps busy until 12:00 when starting at 8:30 each day. Certainly not over burdening here yet (8th grade).

I'm thinking about driving the entire 494/694 loop today just for fun. That's how bored I am.

Kudos to Delta for doings their best to do what’s right in challenging times (their potential bailout aside, still better than United) https://view.o.delta.com/?qs=37b7f9557368599d751e9ff805b45b318e3b5a0e5d2a0bbf8fb14620cab1ea44da3abb0b4f55f2fb7ddf3776a63bed44ce38990c66ee360e5b27b9550491015a60d5fc72...

Costco was a morgue today (which is good). I ran over between conference calls to avoid being one of the weekenders. We needed a few items. They had everything normal in stock (including paper towels and all meats) except for toilet paper. Ran to Target for 2 things we couldn't get at Costco and sam...

This turned out about how you'd expect.

I have not seen spam specifically (or my filters are doing their job), but I was shocked to find out just how many Orgs. knew how to reach me to explain their actions in battling COVID-19.

We need to get to widespread testing in order to work back toward some type of normalcy. Hoping we can get there.

Time to vote again for the Gophers stick salute

Need to get our vote on, we're losing this thing.

53 new cases reported in MN, down from 73 yesterday and more in line with our flattened growth vs. exponential growth. Though, hard to say if that's due to good social distancing and stay at home efforts or lack of testing. Those 53 new cases came from 958 new tests (5.5%). So far MN has done 19,780...

Carr did this last year, too, didn't he?
He may be back.

I have been on a whirlwind of cleaning/organizing. And yes I know it is a way to control my environment, but I’ve always been a bit OCD this way. I spent 3 days cleaning my office top to bottom. Every book off the shelf, dusted and re-cataloged. Weird things discovered, lots of things thrown away! ...

Well, we made it until 12:45pm of distance learning day 1 before our teenage unleashed all the fury of hell on us. She finished all of her assigned daily activity by lunch, so after lunch we said you need to read or find school related activities you can do until 2pm. In her eyes, we clearly belong ...

It helps keep the alkies out of the hospitals due to withdrawal symptoms, which can be fatal. Also helps limit crowds due to hoarding. If that were such a major concern, Denver would not have tried to exclude them in the first place. Additionally, alcohol still would have been available from places...

Wow, that's MN passive aggressive right there. I think the question is what additional things will now close (i.e. Hardware stores, home goods stores, craft stores, etc.). I could call Home Depot essential - if my water heater breaks and I need a part... It feels like more of the same and an extensi...

I've enjoyed the work from home factor for those of us who don't usually do. Animals, babies, side conversations, TV's - they all bring levity to my day.

I feel like that was a bit of a weather humble brag question...

Dr. Gupta on CNN mentioned 40-60% getting infected. If we let that happen at one time we are just accelerating natural selection for the less healthy.

I said he’d be back and he is. Who knows what may have impacted that. Maybe the team makes a run in the B1G tourney.

But he’s back.

Ha! We were out at 8am and after a 90-minute 5 store run were able to get some paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies. It felt like Christmas.

Hearing Seattle is getting a shelter-in-place order tomorrow.

This will grow beyond just Seattle. Especially when places like Florida can't seem to do it on their own.

And because everyone thinks they can fix the broken QB of another team, or are desperate to do so.

In case you're wondering what "self absorbed" looks like: https://www.yahoo.com/news/aint-serious-miami-spring-breakers-074801407.html This is why we have to forceably close everything, because people aren't capable of self-managing.

So the Vikings are up to 12 draft picks in the 2020 draft. I imagine some of those will be traded away either for talent or to move up in the draft as I don't see how they successfully execute all of those. As a Bears fan, I'm a big jealous. I don't think we ever have more than 4 and usually only ge...

I wonder how many guys scheduled their Big V's for Thursday/Friday thinking they could head home and watch NCAA hoops the rest of the weekend? Same with Masters' weekend. :shock: Me. On both weekends (though the Masters was also because I had a buddy planning to come to town to watch a standup come...

Now that testing is becoming more widely available and kits are available - I would expect a rise in confirmed cases both due to spread and just awareness. Two weeks agoI was down and out for 2 days with a cough, fever, and very flu-like symptoms. Was it the flu? Was it a cold? Was it COVID-19? I wo...

Cam none too happy about it either. He had a candid reaction to the team saying they have agreed to allow him to be traded as if it was his idea.

This is my dream scenario... get a paid relocation to FL just ahead of retirement.

Our dog is even sick of us...

Desperate for live entertainment I turned on Monday Night Raw...
They did 20 minutes of live stuff and are now showing the January Royal Rumble match. Oh well...

You need to at least see the last 20 minutes of "Once Upon a Time in a Hollywood"
If you want the traditional Trantino sequence, anyway.

I more mean the crazed buying of all perishible items. While the headlines are TP and sanitizer (sanitizer does expire by the way), my trip through Target and Cub also showed I couldn't buy many common perisible items as well.

What’s a real shame us how much waste this will ultimately create. Everyone panic bought for months and good portions will end up in the garbage.

Sounds like Pitino gets another year...methinks the virus saved him but we will never be sure.

I told ya...

...and down goes golf...
Players is canceled.

So, this means the Gophers won't get a NIT invite either... stupid Pitino...

So we're co-B1G tournament champs then, right? We'll share that with OSU, Mich, and PSU?
So a banner then...

Hockey has to follow... How do you cancel one winter tournament and not all running at the same time. Do more than 250 people go watch the Big Ten Hockey Tourney? ;) I'm guessing yes (I know you were joking) even without a crowd. By the time you tally teams, coaches, staff, arena staff, family - it...

We booked our airfare in June of last year given it was a steal of a price. I'm not sure I can book something again by June. I'll have to call Delta and see what I can do.

That needs more explanation... for how long. This stuff is going to cause mass hysteria.

Watching the FF in an empty football stadium will be something.

In theory, if you booked on Delta before 3/9 you should be able to cancel at no charge for a credit that has to be booked prior to your original booking date.

Detroit should never get the Frozen Four again. They are a curse to the event.

I wonder if there's an insurance policy for something like this - for the host city anyway. That's a huge sunk cost.

Yea, his statement was a bit vague, "upcoming championship events"... I get you don't want to over or under commit, but at this point people have travel plans that need to be adjusted.

I'm sure e-mails will be coming out soon.

No news thread so not sure where to post this. U of M just cancelled All in person classes and is moving all instruction to online. Wow, that’s a big change. It said professors are scrambling to accommodate this change. This is now true effective 3/18/20 through at least 4/1/20. https://drive.googl...

Interesting.

21 seasons, holy hell.

On the positive side, WI didn’t get anyone on 1st or 2nd team even winning the Conf.

Yea, that’s a screw job.

The team will be getting permission to wear their golds at PSU...

Whose decision is that? If it was PSU's I'd have been an ass and said no. There's a bit of psychology to these jerseys now. I'd have wanted to get in our head.
But I guess I'm a prick.

2-12-1 vs. Penn State in the last 15 match-ups. Hoping for the best of course but...yeah.

PSU could have said the same when we were 13-3. It just takes one...

Then I want the rematch with MI. Something to proove...

That about covers it...

In a one game series I hope it gives us the advantage. PSU is slow to get their game legs back and we pounce early. Get an early 3-0 lead and hold on to win 4-2.

Now in a 3-way tie at 16 in the PWR. So, still 18. We knew we needed the PSU win, but to get up to 13, might need the auto bid anyway.

ND first time to not win the tourney. First two losses. Go Gophers!

Well, I have the flu, so wasn’t a lot else to do. I like the rules and everyone mic’d up. And Nelson is terrible.

Handed ND their first B1G tournament loss. They’re now 7-1. That’s a big deal for this young team. Hope they can build off it.

Currently watching Philip Nelson of the Dallas Renegades in the XFL. Playing for Bob Stoops. What a league.

2 shots. Sweet.

Was going to go to the games but got the flu instead. So much for that idea.

We just paid off the 2015 Pilot and I could see another 5-8 years with only costs being tires and brakes. [knocks on wood] Probably going to want oil and other fluid costs if you want 8 more years! I didn’t think I needed to state the obvious. Oh but sometimes... had a friend who wore his tires dow...

Had the lead with less than a minute to go. As with every season, they’re one player away... ...still.
