I realise that the "white racist redeems himself" story is usually self serving BS...

But Joe Posnanski would like to tell you a story on Jackie Robinson's Birthday

It's a good read.

Got on a Hip bender at work.

So I just had my physical...

everything looks ok, slightly hypertensive, so I got a script for Losartin.

Blood work is good, doc wants me to lose 20-25 pounds yada yada.

Asks me if I have any questions or concerns, so I ask about perhaps getting some Viagara. Look I'm 55 and maybe I need some help - Don't judge.

Any how, the doc asks how many I think I'd need and I answer "4".

No problem, we normally prescribe 6 a month he tells me.

I look at him stunned, mouth hanging open in surprise and say "A MONTH? I've been married 32 years. I need 4 - Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary and Valentines."

It's a comic, but this is a subtle well done nod to the man.

Watched part of the Golden Globes, caught Oprah's award

She was amazing, uplifting and reassuring at the same time...

Then the producers decide to do reaction shots of the audience and cut to Susan Sarandon. Holy shit.

My surge of rage was instantaneous and I'm a little worried that my dislike may become blind hatred.

Hey S.S. трахать тебя

ETA- Holy Shit I didn't know that SS presented an award.

Wow, the Globes really got behind the whole "Women supporting women" theme
