George Will is a cool guy, conservative bent notwithstanding. I saw him speak about 10 years ago and he told great stories about policy, and his second love baseball, about which he has written books.

He closed his talk by addressing the estate tax, which he opposes. He told of the great baseball player Tug McGraw. After winning the World Series, a reporter asked Tug what has planned to do with his winning prize of $100,000. Tug said“ I’m gonna take $25,000 and put on a big party for all my friends”. The reporter asked “And the other $75,000.”. Tug thought for a minute and answered “Oh, I’lll probably just piss it away on booze and women”. 

Will then noted that Tug McGraw could do anything he wanted with his World Series check. 

Except leave it to his son.]]></description>

Agree about George Will. Still he’s been wrong for so many decades. 

Stock market is about to hit an all time high. Trump must be doing something right......42M unemployed. I don’t get it. The stock market didn’t go up in the beginning of the Great Depression. 
The old saying “sell in May” doesn’t apply during a pandemic?]]></description>

Second best thing happened already this morning. First was FB Messenger video call with my mom after her eye appointment, she looks good!

Now waiting for the A/C service guy...

Certainly it appears so...

It just lies there...

What a legacy. When this happens here will I just let it lie or take it offline? TBD :)]]></description>

When I saw that happening, the first thing I thought how he was just asking to get made into a meme and the internet did not disappoint.
