I'm on my way to an appointment. Just stopping by to say hi and have a good chat. #FreelanceFriends

I posted something for you in Slack @amylhampton.bsky.social

Dear Denver Broncos Offense, You only show up for maybe one quarter a game and it's infuriating. In short, you're horrible. HORR-I-BLE. You're a liability to the team, and if I were the defense, I would code red you. Sincerely, A Lifelong Fan

That was a crazy freakin' series.

When you don't have home field advantage, you have to win at home. Take 3 of 4 in Toronto seems like a long shot. We'll see what happens but it's hard not to see the Jays getting some rings this year.

Not surprised by tonight's result. I expect Snell to play better tomorrow. I'm guessing it will be a close game, with the play of the bullpens being the deciding factor unless one of the starters plays lights out. I think the Jays have a little edge going into Game 5.

I'm thinking the Jays have the edge with Ohtani pitching today after playing 18 last night. We're now 2-0 in 18 inning World Series games but we're 0-2 in games in the World Series after winning an 18 inning game.

Winning four games in a row would be great, but it's highly improbable. More realistically, the Dodgers need to win 2 of 3 at home to have a shot to win this series. I feel like the Jays have the edge tonight. Historically, Scherzer has been much better in the playoffs compared to Glasnow.

Something to consider. youtu.be/jE_CNezjV7o?...

This series isn't that hard to figure out. It's the Dodgers starting pitching vs the Jays lineup. If the Dodgers starting pitching is on, they'll win. If it's not, the Jays will win. There are a lot of other things in there but that's the key to the series.

4. The smug cheater. I dislike him with the power of a million suns.

My gut tells me that it's going to play out the exact opposite of how it went for the Dodgers last year.

I need to get my hands on some Captain Lucky, Polish Bling, and Rufus Rainbow tomato seeds.

I know the media is pushing this David vs Goliath narrative, but it's complete nonsense. And if I remember right, they overwhelmingly picked a team other than the Dodgers from the NL to get to the World Series, so how is it that they're Goliath now? They're a one seed. We're a three.

I have taken so much allergy medicine this week, I feel like I might be permanently half-asleep.

Somewhere along the line, my LinkedIn feed was invaded by infomercials and ridiculous takes.

I started doing what I thought was a quick and easy refresh on an article that's now turned into a project. There are sections that are completely out of date, and it's also tied to a resource I created, which means the resource needs to be updated as well. Quick and easy is out the window.

Some of my favorite jazz albums feature the incredible Anthony Jackson on bass. He's gone way too soon. RIP. youtu.be/0AdnilL8IaE?...

Spring was surprisingly fine. The summer was fine but fall has been absolutely horrible for my allergies. I've been dying all day even as I have Claritin, Flonase, and Benadryl in my system.

Yamamoto was amazing tonight.

It's time for Dodger baseball or, as I like to call it during the playoffs, a few years of voluntary stress.

Good lord. That wasn't stressful at all.

The Dodgers and Mariners are my two teams, but I expect much more from the Dodgers, so watching their playoff games is 50x more stressful.

The NFL is like an insurance company. They have a ton of rules but they only know how half of them work.

The Dodgers took care of business. It's your turn, Mariners.

I was late to the #FreelanceFriends chat and as I was looking through trying to catch up, a phone call came in that I had to take. When I was done, the chat was done. I'll review it later I guess.

The Dodgers didn't that interested tonight but at least the Yankees are done.

One would think that an 8 run lead would be enough for the Dodgers to win game one, but you never know with their disaster of a bullpen.

One of the keys to good salsa: Char everything,

Tonight on the local news, they had a story on a 107-year-old woman who went on a helicopter ride for the first time. One of the questions they asked her was: Do you have any health conditions besides being old?

While AI can be useful in some circumstances, the hype has far outweighed the reality.

How can it be a #FreelanceFriends without me saying something about tomatoes? This is Giant Heart Climber.

The upcoming Springsteen movie looks really good.

It was a down year for tomatoes but the onions did well.

Here are a couple of pics of Saucy Mary, a tomato that ripens green. I wasn’t sure what to expect flavor wise but it’s really good. One of my favorites for this year.

I dogsat my niece’s new puppy today.

There is a whole class of people on LinkedIn who are only there to be condescending.

If you have an abundance of cherry tomatoes, may I suggest this recipe: lidiasitaly.com/recipes/toma...

This year I'm growing my green tomato, Saucy Mary. I picked the first couple today. Wow! I have been missing out. I've heard people say how good green tomatoes are, but I've been nervous about growing them myself. In the future, I will always have at least one green tomato variety in the garden.

Tempted by "marketing formulas" promising instant, massive results? While they sound great, they often miss the mark. 

 What works for one company won't automatically work for yours. Steer clear of one-size-fits-all solutions and find the right strategy tailored to your needs.

Once again, it's pluerry season! 😋 🎉

I get that they are trying to do the retro thing but the new Fantastic 4 movie looks like a campy 60s movie that Ed Wood would have directed.

My Blue Yeti microphone only works with Audacity. With every other program, I get a horrible screeching sound. This is absolutely bizarre.

Eagle Smiley, Rosella, tTopical Sunset, Purple Bumblebee, Sungold, and Black Cherry.

The screaming you heard in the distance? That was me. It's been one of those days, but I think I'm past it now.

Has anybody else run into a situation where Grammarly is giving gibberish for writing suggestions?

My first full size tomato of the year came from one of my dwarf plants. This is Gloria’s Treat.
