Laura, I genuinely thought Miami was going to win in the last minute of the game, because no one can piss away a lead like the Bengals.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

This too shall pass.
The Dolphins only plus is that they are a very young rookie team, so maybe in a year or two.

The Dolphins had a lot of great plays — they probably will be much more of a force to be reckoned with in a couple of years.
I'm mostly shocked that Burrow made it through 5 games without getting injured. The dude is made of glass.

I don’t think that game was showing here. We tried the Bears/Packers and Raiders/Patriots and they were both very lopsided and kind of boring. SF vs Seattle was better, and turned out well for my sympathies. I’m enjoying the Ravend and Falcons and don’t feel strongly about who should win so it’s relaxing to watch.
Dad picked up catfish filets on his grocery run today, and when I searched Serious Eats for recipes it gave me one for miso-glazed salmon, so I tried that with the catfish and it came out really good. Broiled in the toaster oven, pretty wuick and easy.

This game has gotten really good, at least for the not very invested viewer

Oh Sophia! I'm so glad you went to the hospital. Hang in there. Keep us posted.

I have had to restart my laptop to install updates every day for the last two weeks, and today a half hour or so after I restarted I get another notice that I need to reboot. Is this normal? It shouldn't be, right?

Not really asking to get an answer, just wanting validation for my irritation.
