So MASN did finally release a direct to consumer subscription for Orioles & Nats games ⚾ - I was thinking this may not come until 2028, but good to see them moving. (Perhaps prompted by fact that I believe the Nats are released from MASN after this season.)

I’m a casual Star Wars fan (as in, I enjoy it but don’t have any costumes) :) so I’ve approached some of the spin-off series under the Disney tent with cautious interest.
The one-season “Ahsoka” has been out since 2023, but I only recently loaded it up into the queue. For me, it started out slow and wasn’t sure I really liked it - e.g., the lead character’s performance seemed less-than-engaging, and the story seemed to be plodding nowhere. But by the middle of the series, I was really enjoying what they were doing and the creativity in the story plus the evolving performances and found myself saying ‘well done’.
Of course, I found out that there’s still only one season, so I couldn’t go any further. But a little Internet research, turns out shooting starts this month for Season 2, so I’ll look forward at some point to seeing where the story goes!
👍👍

Was recently reminded of the mind-expanding video, “I, Pencil: The Movie”, based on the essay by Leonard E. Read.
And gotta love the opening Chesterton quote:
“We are perishing for want of wonder, not for want of wonders.” - G.K. Chesterton
If you haven’t seen it before, or it’s been awhile, take a moment to appreciate the wonder of the pencil and what it signifies about modern human interaction:
Business must be run at a profit, else it will die. But when anyone tries to run a business solely for profit, then also the business must die, for it no longer has a reason for existence. —Henry Ford
I’d seen this a few years back and forgot it existed (I think it may not have been that attractive at the time). But bookmarking here as I can see using this for small business purposes in the very near future.
Steve Martin, of course, is an American treasure. I can return to his work time and again, and still find a good laugh, even when I know what’s coming.
One example, his acceptance speech for the Mark Twain Award, which he won in 2005:
Approaching 100 playing golf & staying active
Warm story of a woman approaching 100 while enjoying life & staying active. Definitely wanna say this is true when I get there too.
It seems also that folks who reach this age just have a real down-to-earth and generally positive outlook, which I have to imagine plays a role too. (Certainly genetics are part of the story as well I’m sure.)
