I will be in my 50s in 4 years. I am 46 years old. I joke about my age now to young kids at work and at bars. What choice do I have?

Really looking forward to going to TMobile Park this summer. Went to Coors Field last year to see the Mets. What a park! What a city! Rockies fans were excellent.

@dafurypuri.bsky.social I hope you're well. What do you think of Souhan's suggestion that Anthony Edwards needs to develop a killer instinct? I am with you. Anthony is very good, but I can't call him great when he lacks killer instinct yet. He can grow into it.

You're lucky. I know I should go to PR, but I want to save my money and go out in the summer to enjoy. I am going to Seattle in July to watch the Mariners and Denver in September to watch the Mariners. I want to go around the country to watch baseball at my age (46). I want to go to all 30 ballparks

Suns get it when it comes to not tanking Even though the Suns are not a championship contender, at least, they are trying to win rather than hope the lottery save them and get a star that can make them a title contender.

True, but there's no guarantee you get another job again. I was fortunate to get the FedEx gig the week after I got fired, so I bounced back fast, Meg. The job market is getting worse, especially with AI replacing everything.

It's so rare you get that at a work environment. I worked at another job once where I worked at a library, and it was a miserable experience. Being fired there was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Likeability and presence makes great on TV, and Taylor has that. Maria Taylor of NBC is another one that I like.

Schneider serves as heart and soul of Seahawks The Seahawks star is Seahawks GM John Schneider, who built this Super Bowl winning team that should have sustained success moving forward.

It is. I love my manager and my senior manager. They are great people to work with and for. They always get the best of me. That's what important for me. If you work for awful people, it doesn't end well. I am happy at FedEx mainly because of them. We also have good workers who are good people.

Maye can learn from Darnold Sam Darnold can only relate to what Patriots quarterback Drake Maye endured against the Seahawks defense in the Super Bowl

FedEx. I strip cans and inspect packages and documents in the warehouse, Meg.

It's hell. I have done this for five years. It's not bad in the spring, summer and fall, but in the winter, it's a different story. This year, I'm feeling it with this cold weather. It's a two-hour trip. I leave at 8 p.m. and arrive to work at 10:30, I leave work at 6:00 a.m. and arrive home at 9

I commute from work every night from taking a bus at Fort Lee to Bridge Plaza, take another bus to NYC, then take the A to 34th St- Penn Station, take NJ Transit train to Newark Penn and take a NJT Bus to Newark Airport. It's a crazy commute, especially in the winter.

You think it's ever going to get better for the Jets? I look at the Seahawks and Patriots, and the Jets are far away from those two teams.

Meanwhile there's no relief here. The cold weather ain't going away here. I truly hate living here. I can't wait to retire and move out one day. That's if I have a well-paying job and a career by then. Glad the Pats lost. We have suffered Patriots fatigue.

I'm done with this winter. We have had the worst winter in a long time, and this is normal here. Last five years have been so mild. It's been a gift. Now, we're paying for it. Sad thing is we have two more months of this. What's the point of summer when we have long winters and half the year is over

Glad you read my column. Sorry for the delay, but yesterday I had a headache, and I went to bed, Shaun. I wrote it up in the afternoon.

The Hawks/Rams were your Super Bowl. That was a great game.
