My favorite kind of sports articles

Why aren't there more sports articles like this?
 
"Moe's newfound baseball success prompted additional inquiry into his scholarship....he would often be approached by mildly apologetic writers saying that their editors insisted on a story regarding Moe's charter membership in the American Linguistic Society or one pertaining to his thesis on Sanskrit, which had been placed in the Library of Congress.
"A protesting Berg would contribute the basis of Hindu tongues and philosophy. He would baffle the uninitiated scribes with the knowledge that 'the literature of ancient India is divided into the Sanskrit and the Veda as far as [2000 B.C.] The Veda is the early form of Sanskrit Vedic literature involves three prominent types, the Sutras, the Brahmanas, and the Samhitas. Its germane subdivisions are the Traya Vidya, or the threefold knowledge of the hymns of praise, the Rig Veda, involving chanted songs, and the Sama Veda.'...Sportswriters would leave, prepared for baffled looks from their city or sports desks." 
- from Moe Berg: Athlete Scholar...Spy, by Louis Kaufman, Barbara Fitzgerald, and Tom Sewell

Late night chats with Chelley

I like that there was a context in which me saying, "my laundry that's just mine not captain america's needs to get into the dryer" made sense. 😁

Good-fer-nuthin' kids

Yesterday was a lovely day. A little warm for a walk to the library (probably should've worn shorts or a dress, but that requires leg shaving), but fine. On my way home I was really thirsty, though, and was wishing there would be a lemonade stand. I don't even like lemonade, but I was so thirsty. Halfway home I saw a girl riding a bike. Rather than thinking it was nice that she was out enjoying the day, my thought was, 'Why are you not running a lemonade stand, you lazy bugger?! Get to work! You shouldn't be out riding a bike when you should be working!' 😄
