it feels like the younger folks are taller, doesn't it?

I'm 5'4" down from 5'5", which was the average height for girls of my generation; most of my same-age friends are within an inch or two of me. But my nieces and their girl cousins run from 5'9" to 6'1". I know when I was working in obstetrics that the babies were more likely to be 9 pounds rather than the 7 pounds that was "normal" for our generation, and someone said it's because people eat a lot more protein now.
Discussions after the race concluded that the coach is not managing his first-string boat crew well. The captain is not a nice guy who yells at his crewmates and makes fun of them. There was a rather famous former rower there, Casper Bentinck (rowed on the Great Britain national team) who said they weren't pulling together at all. Fortunately the captain is graduating this year and my great-nephew will be captain next year; he gets along with everyone, he's very supportive of his teammates, and he knows exactly what the problem has been. Too bad the coach doesn't. I suggested that they tell him to watch "Ted Lasso."

A bit of a hiccup a few weeks ago but they're on a good run again. They beat the Braves, and we got to see the talk-of-the-town, Shohei Ohtani, hit 2 big home runs. Was a fun time! Funny you mention the sunscreen - I got a slight sunburn in a couple of small areas on my arm, but I did two separate rounds of lathering up so I'm wondering if I just didn't re-apply it fast enough.
The resume looks quite different now! Apparently it's all about having keywords in the proper format/place so the software that filters out resumes can catch the keywords and let my profile get to a real person. Quite silly - so many companies complain they can't find applicants, yet they may not realize how many hard workers can't even get an interview for this reason.

I'll bookmark the Lothlorien wine and keep an eye out for it, thank you.

You're making me hungry! When I worked in walking distance from a Whole Foods, I often got their vegan BTLA (they called it a TTLA since the bacon is replaced with tempeh). They still offer it, and the more surprising thing is that the fresh sandwiches at Whole Foods aren't as expensive as you'd think. They just recently raised the prices to around $9, when I was there a few months ago.
That's such a bummer for the team though! I hope they're able to still celebrate how well they did, even if it had such a heartbreaking conclusion.

And dandelions, fallen twigs, AND wild white daisies getting real close to waking up :D The biggest kicker is that I haven't mowed the lawn yet. Poor Pickle's fenced-off yard is up to his chinny-chin-chin. In some spots, the only way I can tell where he's at is by the grass moving. Like watching for whales to break water surface! *THAR HE GOES!* My daughter is allergic to fresh-mown grass and all the pollen floating around out there... so we wait :)
I hope you have a very restful weekend full of goodly weather :)

I hope you have a fast and satisfying sale FAST! I think your call on people looking for something at a more reasonable price like yours will draw more interest. It will be such a relief to finally have this chapter closed after all your work :)

Oh geez... how do you possibly get your head around missing it by ONE SECOND! That's, like, the length of a sneeze! I'll bet they'll soon be more determined than ever to get into training and will win the next one! How great it was for you to be there to support them. Much better than getting a phone call and explaining what happened. *sigh*

Oh gosh, now I have this image of the grass in waves as the little pup "swims" through them! I hope he never has problems finding his way back to the house! 
Restful! I had a yard of screened soil delivered yesterday, and spent my after-work hours getting over half of it spread around the plants and bushes, then tarp'd the rest, as we had some good pouring rain today. I'm a bit achy now, but feeling happy to have gotten that done!

including the girls' first 8, so the club does have things to celebrate. Their rowing club is quite small, and they go up against some huge clubs that have many, many rowers to pull teams from, so any win is big.
